Not sure if anyone has suggested but two phone apps that I find handy (on android, not sure of iphone) -

MoodMission - helps you learn new and better ways of coping with stress, low moods and anxiety.

Calm Harm - provides tasks to help you resist or manage the urge to self-harm.

Also currently looking for a phone app that logs moods (psychologist recommends so I can talk about the feelings and we can work through why this happened / how to overcome etc) at the moment all I have found is Daylio on Android.
