Welcome to Third Age Therapeutics. We are here to serve and improve the lives of older people as they approach their 'third age' of life. These should be our best years and we want to make sure that happens.
Third Age Therapeutics is a mission-driven spinout from the University of York; formed in partnership with the NHS. We want to make healthy ageing a reality for more older people. For this to happen we need to ensure that psychological health is given the same priority as physical health.
We have developed deeply-evidenced solutions to problems such as depression and anxiety. Our solutions improve the quality of life for older people and are especially effective in preventing problems such as loneliness.
Our solutions can be accessed from the comfort of your home and are proven to work. It is sometimes difficult to access effective psychological care. This can a particular concern if you are worried about the psychological wellbeing of a parent or someone you care for.
We've been doing this for 20 years and we have the evidence to show it works [and saves money].
We are unapologetically solution-focused and evidence-based, since older people deserve nothing less.

All that we do at ThirdAgeTx is underpinned by science. Our research takes place at the the BTxLab at the University of York. We founded ThirdAgeTx to mobilise our world-leading research to ensure healthy psychological ageing. The care offered by ThirdAgeTx is founded on the results of some of the largest ever clinical trials to opimtise psychological health as we age ['healthy psychological ageing'].
In the words of Professor Lucy Chappell, the NHS' Chief Scientific Advisor & CEO to the National Institute for Health Research, 'These results are an important step forward in understanding what works in tackling and preventing problems like loneliness and depression'.
'During the COVID pandemic we witnessed an epidemic of loneliness, depression and anxiety. Care was not available for our parents and loved ones. As researchers we wanted to change that.
ThirdAgeTx was founded to ensure you and your loved ones are able to access effective psychological care'
