Lewis Capaldi Is Partnering With Betterhelp to Give Fans 734,000 Hours of Free Online Therapy

Lewis Capaldi is back with new music — and a mission to help fans take care of their mental health.

After stepping away from the spotlight for 734 days to focus on his well-being, the Scottish singer has released his new single, Survive, alongside an initiative to give away 734,000 hours of free online therapy. The number matches the days he spent on hiatus.

“Therapy is the reason I’m able to be a musician again,” Capaldi said.

The offer comes through a partnership with BetterHelp, the world’s largest online therapy service. Fans can access one free month of therapy at BetterHelp.com/lewiscapaldi.

In a candid video, Capaldi reflected on his decision to step back from performing in 2023, when anxiety forced him to cut short a world tour.

“I don’t think I’ll ever stop going to therapy after the impact it’s had on my life over the past two years,” he said. “I want to support my fans as they’ve supported me, which is why I’m donating 734,000 hours together with BetterHelp.”

The push for free therapy addresses a gap in care. According to BetterHelp, 3 in 4 people believe mental health support is important, yet many avoid seeking it due to stigma or fear.

“To have someone as globally recognized as Lewis Capaldi share so authentically how getting help through online therapy has transformed his life is incredibly powerful,” said Sara Brooks, BetterHelp’s Chief Growth Officer. “We’re grateful to have Lewis speak up and use his platform to help break down the stigma of therapy.”

Capaldi’s return was marked by a surprise performance at Glastonbury, where he debuted Survive. The track, which draws from his own experiences of struggle and resilience, has been hailed by fans and critics as one of his most moving works.

Fans can claim the free month of therapy by signing up through BetterHelp, where they’ll be matched with a licensed therapist.

Capaldi’s message is clear: if therapy helped him get back on stage, it might help others take their own first steps forward.
