I've had a really awful experience with BetterHelp. I was charged 200 euro upfront and 2 weeks later have yet to have a session. My first session was a disaster, I was left for 30 minutes with my Councillor unable to use the video or chat function properly, and when he finally got through he was muted and unprofessionally chewing gum into the camera. The second Councillor only has availability after 10pm GMT which is a rediculous time for a session. My only option this week was for a midnight session. Clearly the service is aimed at US clients and is more suitable for them time zone wise, but it has been a complete was of time for me. I have written asking for a refund which has not yet been responded to, looking forward to hearing back as soon as possible. I would not recommend this to anyone outside of the US

Ash, we're so sorry that you've had so much trouble getting connected to the right therapist to support you and meet your needs. I can certainly understand your frustrations with the technical issues, and the scheduling difficulty. All therapists in the BetterHelp network will be licensed and located in the USA, but their schedules vary greatly, and we should have many options that have more immediate availability, and provide sessions at more appropriate times for you where you are. If you haven't already, please reach out to our Member Success team ([email protected]) so we can work with you directly to get this sorted out. Thank you, BetterHelp Team
