A Fresh Take on Mood Cards, Emotional Regulation, and Wellbeing
AniMoods started with a simple question: what if emotional tools actually felt relatable?
When a young client dismissed traditional mood cards as “a bit s…” and another threw a DBT manual across the room, it became clear standard tools weren’t connecting in the way they needed to.
That moment sparked something bigger.
AniMoods was inspired by a mix of real-life experience and personal influence including a love of anime (thanks to my adopted nephew, Josh) and a name that came about almost by accident during a trip to the Scottish Highlands, when my husband Tom suggested “AniMoods” and it stuck.
From there, the idea began to take shape. Working with a talented young artist discovered online, the concept evolved slowly over time tested, refined, and developed into something far more considered than those early ideas.
Eight years later, AniMoods is ready to offer a new way to support emotional wellbeing one that feels more engaging, more accessible, and more human.
