Hero Journey Club

Gaming-based group therapy for mental health

Overview

HeroJourney.club provides online mental health support by running weekly 80-minute voice-only group therapy sessions for gamers, led by qualified therapists, and conducted inside popular online games. The service works by matching users with a therapy group and therapist based on age, life stage, mental health needs, and preferred games; sessions are paid weekly and take place in a private voice setting to foster comfort and privacy. Unlike traditional therapy or generic online services, HeroJourney.club blends therapeutic work with gaming contexts, creating a safe, welcoming space that can be less intimidating for players. The platform’s goal is to make mental health support more accessible and engaging for the gaming community by using game environments as a framework for therapy.
