The Kalda model is built on evidence, and developed with LGBTQIA+ therapists. We empower you through mindfulness techniques and cognitive behavioural therapy. Most of all, we give you space to share and give support with the LGBTQIA+ community.
Through daily reflection questions Kaldan’s are encouraged to reflect and journal. These techniques are proven to build resilience..
During our group sessions Kaldan’s have an opportunity to learn the latest cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques.
Kalda is built on peer support: people have the opportunity to share within group sessions and within the Kalda community.
Through sharing and listening to others Kaldan’s support other’s in their own community.
These are the studies which have informed the Kalda approach.

Read moreEverything that is said in the group is private, and not repeated outside of the group. This extends to it being private that you attended the group, and what is said in the break out rooms not being shared with the wider group. The contact is: confidentiality, flexibility, non-judgement, respect and care.
Our Kalda practitioners take a trauma informed approach to the group therapy, so that all activities are invitational. You can take breaks or leave at any point, you can also remain in the session but stop taking in the guidance.
Kalda has active moderators on the platform, we flag and remove any offensive posts or language. Every user who joins agrees to our community guidelines. We have safety checks when people join: the onboarding call and other verification steps before creating an account.
Peer support, group sharing, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness techniques are all proven to improve your mental health, reducing anxiety and depression. If you use Kalda and are not happy with the product, you can get in touch with the team for your money back.
