For someone who has long needed therapy this was a great way to start. There are many tools on the app as well that are helpful. I liked that there were options for therapy sessions like chat, video or voice call.

I was skeptical at first, but I honestly have been surprised by how much my BetterHelp therapist has been helping me. She’s knowledgeable and I feel we have a “goal”. It’s not just talking but actually learning more about myself, learning how to relate and set boundaries for healthy relationships.

Sharon Blue helped me understand things I had never considered before. She made me feel safe, heard, and truly cared for. I’m so grateful for her and can’t wait for our next session. Thank you for having someone like Sharon on your team—she truly embodies the essence of an exceptional therapist and represents your company beautifully.

I’ve been using BetterHelp for 02 months now, and I’m happy with the quality of care and the progress I’ve made in my mental health journey. As a student, affordability is a major concern for me, but BetterHelp offers reasonably priced mental health care and even provides discounts that accommodate my tight budget. When I realized my first therapist wasn’t the right fit, I reached out to BetterHelp’s support team and explained the issues and my specific needs. They responded with care and efficiency, providing me with a list of about five therapists whose expertise aligned closely with my issues. Additionally, they generously offered extra sessions free of charge to help me transition and build rapport with my new therapist. Overall, I believe BetterHelp is a good platform for anyone looking to prioritize their mental health, especially for those navigating financial challenges like mine.

Melissa has been great and having therapy available on my phone is so great not having to break up a day to go to an in person meeting. I strongly recommend everyone try this out!

After numerous adverts I opted to try Better Help as an easy door into therapy. But after one session I could tell this wasn't the format for me. I didn't feel that the therapist I had been matched with had the same expertise as others I'd worked with and the cost is not really any cheaper so I expected the same level of expertise. The therapist didn't talk about any goals, any models or matrixes, any coping mechanisms or tools - all things I'd had with previous counsellors. When I told her my problem she asked if I'd tried "just removing myself" multiple times. And when I prompted her for advice / tools, this was the answer every time, until eventually she used her mother who had suggested counting to 10. It felt less professional than other experiences I have had in therapy and a waste of money (£54). I didn't like that the therapist could be messaged at any time as it felt like there were no boundaries in place for them as professionals. I also chose Better Help believing I could message (which was preferred in my situation) yet it was turned into a video call which was extremely difficult for me. I explicitly said I wanted worksheets and journals, in the set up questionnaires and was given none. Before leaving, the app said I could try to switch therapists but as, by this point, I have no trust in the app or the professionals aboard, I was too fearful of wasting a further £50-60 a week. I wouldn't waste your money on this app, and I'd approach a private service any other way.

Great therapist and option to switch as well. 10/10 very easy to use website and app with journal prompts and exercises. Awesome

He is down to earth!
