Vuelio uses a proprietary algorithm to create these rankings, based on topic-related content in blogs on its system – you can read more about the process here. Our research team actively seeks out new blogs and bloggers for inclusion, but if you think we’ve missed someone, please get in touch to let us know.
1. Psychreg
Moving up a spot in our overview of the top ten UK mental health blogs is Psychreg, originally launched back in 2014 by Dennis Relojo-Howell as ‘a simple directory of psychology enthusiasts’. 11 years later, and the blog has grown into ‘a dynamic platform that serves a wide audience’, with a team still busy ‘providing information and resources on psychology, health, and wellness’ topics. Alongside the latest news on developments in the field, the blog also publishes original articles and commentaries from experts in its open-access Psychreg Journal of Psychology.
Another blog moving up a spot for 2025 is Sarah Bailey’s Life In A Break Down. Since its launch in 2010, Sarah has been sharing her own mental health journey alongside news on wellness and health. ‘Over the years, LIABD has progressed into far more than I could ever imagine but in essence, it is still exactly as it was when I started […] I wanted to stop blogging about the bad sides of my illness and the bad things in my life and focus on the good.’ Check out advice on decluttering, getting better sleep, and summer skincare for selfcare.
Here with help for mental health – aimed at medical practitioners as well as the general public – is The Mental Elf. Launched by information scientist Andre Tomlin in 2011, this blog filters through more than 500 sources – including journals, databases, and websites – each day to compile its evidence-based research and reports, promising ‘no bias, no misinformation, and no spin – just what you need’. If you’re in need of general guidance, systematic reviews, and research and reports, dip into the categories section.
Sticking at number 4 is Thoughts on Life and Love from cognitive behavioural therapist and blogger Mandy Kloppers. Hoping to ‘practice what I preach’, Mandy posts to help her readers ‘make positive changes’ in their own lives. Not sure where to start with your journey? Check through to the Quizzes section to see where you might need extra support, and then dive into the blog – topics range from addiction, career woes, parenting help, relationships, self improvement, and therapy.
Another non-mover is the upfront and direct blog Unwanted Life. Even though the name may appear ‘pessimistic’, according to the blogger, readers can find positive posts helping to ‘raise awareness and make people feel less unwanted’ in their lives. ‘I’m your host, and as the name suggests, this blog isn’t about sunshine and rainbows. It’s about delving into the unseen, the unsaid, and the uncomfortable truths that sometimes get buried’. Find resources, stories, and plenty of posts on topics including theory, therapy, and academic research.
Moving from 7 to 6 is Eleanor Segall Mandelstam’s Be Ur Own Light, which was launched in 2016 to ‘raise awareness of what life is like living with [mental health] conditions’, with an emphasis on ‘happy and fulfilling lives’, however difficult the challenges. Writing to combat stigma against mental illness and increase understanding of mental health conditions, Eleanor covers a range of topics including imposter syndrome, escaping emotional baggage, parenthood, useful grounding techniques, and much more.
7. Sanity Daily
For a daily dose of sanity, check out blogger Priyanka’s Sanity Daily, which ‘makes mental health a priority’ and aims to be ‘the kindest corner of the internet, where warmth and understanding abound’. Pivoting to mental health after getting an MBA, an MSc, and spending time in corporate life and education, Priyanka is now a certified NLP practitioner and mental health first aider, sharing her expertise and advice online. Recent posts share resources and support for single mothers, how AI can help with digital mindfulness, and getting over a breakup.
Sticking at number 8 is the YoungMinds’ charity blog, which offers advice and resources for improving the mental and emotional wellbeing of children and young people. Content is aimed at young people themselves, parents, as well as the professionals who work with them and features ‘a collection of stories, by and for young people’. Themes cover the gamut of challenges young people face today, including exam stress, grief and loss, anxiety, neurodivergence, bullying, as well as the help available.
9. Open Journal
Another non-mover is Mike Douglas’ ‘blogcast’ Open Journal, which offers its audience advice and updates via a mix of blog posts and podcasts. Originally writing about his own experiences with mental health illness when in need of an outlet, Mike has since built up a community of loyal readers, who check in on posts that now also cover health, exercise, events and reviews. Recent posts tackle stress awareness and changes, neurodiversity, support networks, and running for wellbeing.
We finish this year’s update of the top UK mental health blogs with Benevolent Health Blog, led by founder and BPC psychodynamic psychotherapist Marteka Swaby. ‘We believe in sharing our knowledge to make managing mental health better’ is the team’s mantra, and their insight is shared in posts covering a huge swathe of subjects including anxiety, authenticity, body image, burnout, and culture, right through to the end of the alphabet with university, wellbeing, and work-life balance.
