What is Tranquility by Inkblot?
Tranquility by Inkblot is an internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) program that has been shown to be effective in improving outcomes and reducing symptoms of mild to moderate anxiety and depression in clients age 15+. Qualified and experienced coaches (for the coach-assisted option) are on hand to help clients get the most out of the program.
Who is appropriate for Tranquility by Inkblot?
Tranquility by Inkblot is appropriate for clients age 15+ with mild to moderate anxiety and/or depression. Tranquility by Inkblot is not suitable for individuals at imminent risk of self-harm or who have had a recent psychotic episode.
How does Tranquility by Inkblot work?
Tranquility by Inkblot’s program was co-developed by clinical psychologists and people with lived experience. The program has three major components:
Nine to twelve psychoeducational modules
Four interactive tools
An optional coaching protocol
Our model encourages clients to stay on track through regular in-app reminders or coaching. We help clients stay motivated on their iCBT journey to better reach their mental health goals.
After completing the introductory modules, the program introduces concepts and proprietary tools to help clients learn how to manage their anxiety and/or depression through the identification of unhelpful perceptions and avoidance behaviours. Most clients can complete the full program in 12 weeks, with program access being available for up to 26 weeks.
The Client Experience
Is internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) effective?
Yes. Numerous studies have been conducted throughout the years to show that guided iCBT is effective in treating anxiety and depression (Karyotaki et al., 2021; Olthuis et al., 2016). Health Quality Ontario published a study on Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Major Depression and Anxiety Disorders. The study found that guided iCBT represents a highly beneficial option for the short-term treatment of adults with mild to moderate depression or anxiety disorders.
