The internet is one of the main drivers in the development of technological innovation and the industrial revolution, which tends to play important roles in various sectors of human life. One implication of this technology is the development of a mobile operating systems such as Android and iOS. However, its use in mental health interventions is still limited. This research, therefore, aims to develop an Android-based platform that can be used to connect counsellors with clients in the context of mental health interventions, irrespective of their distances. Data was obtained from 10 counsellors and clients which included 174 respondents in the preliminary study regarding the application content. The data obtained was then analysed by using the Rasch Analysis, Kendall's Concordance Analysis, and Network Psychometrics Analysis. The results of the study showed that the developed application fulfilled the requirements and was widely accepted by respondents. © 2019, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
