1. Technology overview
Unmind is a workplace mental health company registered in England and Wales as Unmind Ltd, co-founded by clinical psychologist Dr Nick Taylor and corporate wellbeing practitioner Steve Peralta. It helps employers reduce the cost of mental ill-health, including lost days and lower productivity, by giving staff preventive and clinical support in one place.
The platform combines self-guided content and courses, therapy and coaching through a global network of 90,000+ therapists and coaches, a 24/7 helpline, critical incident response, work-life practical support and manager training. Nova, its AI support agent, lets employees describe a challenge, offers short guided exercises and routes them to human care when needed, while insights and assessments give employers group-level wellbeing data.

Shared service and contact centres can use the 24/7 helpline and Nova to support shift workers. HR teams can use group-level insights to plan burnout prevention for high-pressure departments.
4. Benefits
The company reports up to 40% improvement in mood and a 16.5% productivity boost among users. It cites an average return of 4.60 USD for every 1 USD spent. Combines EAP-style helpline, therapy, AI support and manager training in one contract. Aggregated, group-level insights help HR target programmes without exposing individual data.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Employers are consolidating separate EAP, wellbeing app and training vendors into single platforms, and are adding AI support so staff can get help at any hour.
