About Headscovery
What is Headscovery?
Headscovery is a guided platform for behavioral change. Each program walks you through the phases of changing a pattern, in short modules with one concrete exercise attached to each. One program addresses one behavior, and the method behind every program is the same, developed and supervised by licensed clinical psychologists.
Who is it for?
For adults who recognize a pattern they want to change and want a structured way to work on it, in their own time. It does not require a diagnosis to start, and it does not assume you have one.
Is Headscovery therapy?
No. Headscovery is a guided behavioral change platform, designed to work on its own, without a therapist. It does not make diagnoses, does not provide clinical support, and does not replace psychotherapy. It is a practical method for understanding your own patterns and starting to change them, in your own time and your own context.
Can I use it alongside therapy?
Yes, and it often makes more sense that way. Headscovery does not compete with therapy, it complements it. Therapy works in depth with a professional. Headscovery gives you concrete tools to use between sessions, or on your own if therapy is not an option you are considering right now.
Is it an app?
No. There is nothing to download. Headscovery is a platform you open in your browser, with no streaks, no daily notifications, and no counters pushing you to come back. The work is sequential and self-paced: you move when you are ready, and what you do between modules is what carries the change.
The method & the clinicians
Are the contents reviewed by clinicians?
Every program is developed and supervised by licensed clinical psychologists. The method integrates evidence-based approaches, translated into concrete exercises and accessible language. Nothing is improvised, and nothing is generic.
What approaches does the method use?
The method draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and behavior-change models such as the Transtheoretical Model and COM-B. These are not presented as theory: each one is translated into the structure of the modules and the exercises you actually do. You can read how on the methodology page.
Is there evidence this works?
The approaches the method is built on are among the most studied in clinical psychology, with decades of randomized controlled trials behind them. Headscovery does not claim to reproduce a clinical trial, and outcomes depend on many factors outside any program. What it does is build on established evidence rather than on opinion. The research it draws on is listed on the evidence page.
How are the programs structured?
Each program follows the same architecture: six sections that walk through the phases of behavior change, recognize, understand, decide, manage, prevent, rebuild. Modules are five to six minutes each, with one concept and one concrete exercise per module. Order matters; modules are sequential.
Programs & getting started
Which programs are available?
One program is available now: Porn Dependence. A program on ADHD and others are in development. Every new program uses the same method and the same structure, applied to a specific behavior.
Are the modules sequential? Do I follow an order?
Yes. Each section builds on the one before it, and modules within a section are meant to be done in order. The sequence mirrors the phases of changing a behavior, so skipping ahead tends to skip the groundwork the later work depends on.
How much time does it take?
Each module is five to six minutes: one short concept, time to reflect, one concrete takeaway. A typical pace is two or three modules a week, with the practice happening across the days in between. What carries the work is not the time spent reading, it is the practice between modules, which lives inside your day rather than on top of it.
Can I go at my own pace, and stop and come back?
Yes. There is no deadline, no streak to keep, and no obligation to finish within a fixed window. If you stop and come back later, you pick up where you were, not from zero. (Billing follows the plan you chose; you can cancel anytime if you need a break.)
I have a question about a specific program
Each program page has its own set of questions, specific to that behavior. For the program available now, see the Porn Dependence FAQ.
Plans, billing & cancellation
What does it cost? What are the plans?
Three subscription plans, all with the same access to the program and the Toolkit. Monthly: $29 / €26. Quarterly: $69 / €62 (save 21%). Yearly: $179 / €159 (save 49%). The only difference between plans is the billing cycle and the effective per-month cost. See plan details on the program page.
What is included in the price?
All three plans include the same thing: full access to the program (six sections, forty-plus modules), the Toolkit (a standalone library of structured exercises), and updates as the program evolves. The plan you choose changes the billing cycle, not what you can access.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime, from your account portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle: you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for, and the subscription is not renewed afterwards.
Are payments refundable?
Access to the program is provided immediately after purchase, and at checkout you confirm that you want it to start right away. Under EU consumer law this waives the 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content, so the current billing period is non-refundable. There is no penalty for cancelling, and no charge after the current period ends. See the terms for the full detail.
How is payment handled?
Payment is processed by Stripe. Headscovery never sees or stores your card details. Stripe collects your email, name, billing country, and payment information, and shares your email and order details with us so we can give you access.
Privacy & discretion
Do I need to create an account?
No. Headscovery has no account and no login. After purchase you receive a private link to your program, and that link is how you access it.
How private is this? Is it anonymous?
We collect as little as possible. There is no account, no profile, and no public activity. The information tied to you is essentially your purchase: email, name, and billing country, handled through Stripe. We treat what a program is about as sensitive, and the experience is built so that using Headscovery does not announce itself.
Do you store my exercise answers?
No. The exercises are done in your own notebook or document. The program does not collect, store, or transmit your answers. What you write stays with you.
What shows up on my card statement?
The charge appears under a neutral descriptor that does not reveal the program or its subject. Your statement does not say what the program is about.
What data do you collect, and what are my rights?
We collect the minimum needed to give you access and to meet our tax and legal duties, mainly your purchase information. You can ask to access, correct, or delete your data, and to exercise the other rights the law gives you. The full detail is in the privacy policy and, for health-related data, the consumer health data policy. For any data request, email hello@headscovery.com.
Do you sell my data?
No. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising. We use a small number of providers, such as Stripe for payment, only to run the service.
Still have a question?
