Evidence-Based Cognitive Reframing

Change how you think.
Change how you feel.

Thinkwell is an evidence-based course and practice app that helps you spot the habitual thought patterns fuelling your distress — and reframe them in ways that feel genuinely honest, not just positive.

Thought Record — Today

Automatic Thought

"I made a mistake in the meeting. Everyone must think I'm incompetent."

Reframed with compassion

Balanced Reframe

"I made one mistake in a meeting — that's human. I've contributed well many times before. One imperfect moment doesn't define my competence."

9+ years of iterative design, pilot testing, and empirical evaluation

Rooted in CBT, cognitive science, and mindfulness research

Honest and constructive — never falsely positive

All progress saved and synced across every session

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Six integrated tools — course, journal, mindfulness, mood tracking, progress, and AI support — all built around the same evidence base.

29-Lesson Course

Six modules of cognitive science and mindfulness research — from the ABC model to post-traumatic growth — refined over nine years of empirical evaluation.

Thought-Record Journal

A structured 7-column CBT journaling system to capture distressing thoughts, identify cognitive distortions, and reframe them constructively.

Mindfulness Library

Eight guided exercises — 4-7-8 breathing, body scan, RAIN, loving-kindness, and more — with an immersive animated breathing guide.

Mood Tracker

Daily mood, energy, and anxiety check-ins with visual trend charts so you can see your emotional patterns shift over time.

Progress Dashboard

Streaks, 15 milestone achievements, and course completion bars — all in one view that reflects how far you've come.

AI-Assisted Reframing

After each journal entry, get a compassionate, evidence-based reframe suggestion generated by AI — grounded in CBT principles, not empty positivity.
