Working at Happiful

Our aim is to help build a happier, healthier society, and we do this by connecting people with self-care information, real stories and professional support across a range of mental health and wellness topics.

We run a network of directory websites with over 20,000 professional members, and also produce Happiful magazine, which is free to read online and also available in print in shops nationwide. Our directories include Counselling Directory, Hypnotherapy Directory, Life Coach Directory, Therapy Directory and Nutritionist Resource.

We continually engage with professionals from across our websites to help inform our writing and advice, in addition to including the real-life experiences of readers.

We are dedicated to signposting support, information and self-care opportunities to all our readers, and helping them get the help they need.

Our Mission

It’s important to us that we strive to achieve our mission in everything we do, while maintaining our family values. The Happiful mission consists of four statements:

1. To raise awareness of mental health – because we all have it. We are passionate about informing and supporting people who are looking for help.

2. To bring people together, whether it’s connecting people to professional help, or building friendships in the office. Together we are dedicated to making a difference.

3. To end the stigma of mental health. Mental illness and poor mental health are not things to be ashamed about, we are proud to lead the way in allowing people to publish their stories with their own voice.

4. To have a positive impact on the world around us, through looking after our staff, our readers, our society and the planet.

Testimonials

"So often, the mental health conversation revolves around illness. Yet I passionately believe that in order to do better with prevention and also to give vital hope to people currently struggling, we also need to place emphasis on wellness. That's why Happiful is such a useful resource - It gives practical tips for the reader so they can have a better relationship with their brain, understand when their mental health might be wobbling and, crucially, some tools for when that happens" - Natasha Devon, Journalist.

"I recently launched a campaign, Dump the Scales, to challenge the perceptions of eating disorders and to make sure that eating disorder guidelines are being implemented in the right way. So many people go through life thinking that eating disorders are just about weight and that if you aren't stick-thin you aren't eligible to get help. Happiful led the way to all other media outlets highlighting my campaign. Getting behind me to challenge the stigma and misconceptions that come with eating disorders. The way Happiful wrote about the campaign was easy to understand and helped others understand the importance of this. I am so grateful for Happiful getting behind this campaign and having such a huge impact on increasing the signatures" - Hope Virgo, Influencer and Campaigner.

"A lot of MH stuff is just patronising drivel but this one honestly isn’t. I can see what you guys want to do and it's clear to me that you guys honestly care about your audience" - Ida Väisänen, Journalist & Blogger.
