FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Here you can see a list of the most common questions that we get. If you don’t find an answer to your question you are welcome to reach out to our customer support.
How does your self-help programs work?
When you’re in treatment with Mindler, you work with iCBT programs in the app (iCBT = internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy). We offer a range of programs tailored to address various psychological difficulties, such as anxiety, depression or self-esteem issues. You’ll learn more about your difficulties and do exercises to find strategies and tools that can help you.
Research shows that iCBT is just as effective as face-to-face therapy, so your engagement with these programs is a very important part of your treatment.
How old do I need to be to use Mindler?
Required age for booking a call is 18+.
To book an appointment you need to be able to download the app and log in with your own BankID. When you make a booking you will need to pay the patient fee of 100 kronor but you will be refunded afterwards, just send the booking-ID to Support Center via settings after the session is finished.
Do I get to see the same psychologist every time?
A common question we get is whether you can see the same psychologist during the entire treatment. The answer is yes.

A patient fee of 100 kr applies for the video session with your psychologist at Mindler. For individuals aged 18–19 and those over 85 years, the visit is free of charge.
Our treatment is included in high-cost protection (högkostnadsskydd), which means that you pay this patient fee until you’ve reached the free card (frikort) limit for your region. When you have reached the limit, you get a free card and pay nothing for your treatment as long as the free card is valid.
Please note that you have to make sure your free card is registered in the app. If you have a digital free card, it should be added automatically.
