BetterHelp is very user friendly and the app is convenient to use! I would recommend to others!

Betterhelp is a really great company. My first therapist that I was assigned was not the right fit for me. To make up for her lack of responsiveness they gave me an extra 2 free weeks to my membership and let me choose my next therapist who has been really helpful to me in my mental wellness journey. Besides getting weekly one on one sessions with your therapist you can also sign up to one group therapy session per week which are interactive and diverse with members all over the world! They are always safe, supportive environments and intimate enough with around 15 people. One time my group therapist had to cancel a session last minute and betterhelp gave me an additional free week to my membership. I also really enjoy using the daily journal feature and taking unlimited amount of webinars each week about wellness topics that interest me and I love the fact that they are sent to you to view anytime within the week even if you miss the scheduled time. It's like I'm back in college again and can invest in myself through education and self care. I've been to in-person therapy in previous years but honestly I prefer betterhelp so much more because of the convenience of being at home and also all the resources from so many qualified and interesting therapists around the country. It really feels like I'm part of a bigger community and not dealing with my problems alone.

Better help has been a God send for me since I have no transportation. I didn't realize that just chatting with a therapist would be so rewarding. I thought before I started that it might be easier and I may be more forthcoming without a face to face. It turns out I was exactly right. Sometimes it's easier to find the words when you can type it out instead of being physically put on the spot. I highly recommend better help and the therapist I was matched with. I've had 3 sessions with Heather, once a week, and she checks in with me a few times in between which keeps me on task with my goals.

Honestly since using BetterHelp I’ve become aware of a lot of issues I was facing subconsciously and been able to begin dealing with them healthily with the help of my therapist. She is knowledgeable, respectful and very helpful for me. I’m not sure if all therapists would be the same on BetterHelp but I imagine the majority are and you can switch at any time. BetterHelp really is a convenient and easy way to get therapy and I would recommend it if you have the ability and need help.

Being able to log on and send a message to my therapist instantly while feeling how i feel at that moment was a great help Receiving nice motivating and encouraging messages leading upto and following your scheduled apointment was a nice booster to my mood.

Cost effective counselling service. I appreciated being matched with a counsellor who could provide the support I needed

I’ve been with BetterHelp over a year now and all I can say is stick at it. Sometimes you think what’s the point and is this working and then all of a sudden one year later you realise oh. It’s worked. For many years I’ve struggled with therapist after therapist, thinking this is a load of rubbish and not for me. I could see if the therapist was tired or board and this would annoy me and make me think “you don’t care I’m just paying you to care”. It’s not real. There was something about being able to speak on the phone and not be seen that I preferred and it took a little while for me to come round to it, but I stuck at it and I can definitely say I’m a better person for it, and it has helped. Therapy, it’s kind of weird because they don’t really tell you the rules. So when you first start, you have no clue, what the hell are you doing or what you’re trying to achieve or what’s even wrong with you. But you unpack your history with a therapist get to know them they get to know you. Then you just keep on coming back week after week. You can chat about whatever you want. Sometimes you can be specific, and sometimes you can just whine about something or celebrate something and congratulate yourself. Either way our weekly touch in really does help me map out everything in my mind. I have ADHD, so I forget everything, but then after a while, I realise my own denials and when I’m clearly lying to myself or just completely full of it. It’s a very interesting and rewarding experience. How stranger humans are. We are mental aren’t we? But of course. Mental health is a constant thing in all of us. Trauma comes from everything and everywhere. Sometimes you don’t even realise it. Why not get some better help. The best help in my opinion. Bye x

Better Help has been a valuable support over this time. I have benefited from the knowledge and expertise of both therapists I have connected with each time I have used the service.
