An important note

Programme Type is a tool for self-understanding and reflection. It is built on a real framework and offered in good faith, and many people find it strikingly accurate. It is important to be clear about what it is, and what it is not.

This is not therapy or medical advice

Programme Type does not provide therapy, counselling, diagnosis, or medical or psychological treatment, and using it does not create a clinical or professional relationship. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified doctor, therapist or mental health professional. If you have concerns about your mental health, please speak to a professional.

Your reading may surface difficult feelings

Because the assessment asks about your childhood and how things felt, your reading may bring up things that are uncomfortable or upsetting. Go gently with yourself, and take a break if you need to.

If you are struggling

If you are finding things hard, or you are in distress, please reach out for real support. In the UK you can contact your GP, call NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency help, or call the Samaritans free on 116 123, at any time, day or night. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.

No guarantees

Your reading is for insight and reflection. We cannot promise any particular outcome, and what you do with it is your own choice.
