Making therapy easier, more flexible, and innovative using tech I love being able to talk to my counselor wherever I am. There have been times when I need to talk to my counselor the most while I have been out of town and a traditional session would not have been possible. From the app I can send messages to my counselor to mention something we should talk about in our next meeting or to reschedule last minute. The app also has a journal feature where you can share (or not share) a journal entry to give more insight to your counselor about a topic that you have been dealing with. I like having the option to have a video or phone call. Some days it's just nice to not have a face to face when you're feeling really down or don't want to get out of bed.

BetterHelp is so helpful I was skeptical about starting with BetterHelp because I would often see it on TV ads and computer ads and I thought it was too good to be real. I was wrong. BetterHelp offers many things to help those who are in need of it and are looking for it. I’m so happy I gave it a chance and I think it’s definitely worth it.

Connection issues Connection issues, issues with therapists not turning up on time, triggering me, not caring and not supporting me out of it. £200 a month is apparently a reduced rate for someone not working and yet if the therapist is on holiday that week you are still charged. I tried with 5 different therapists and gave up. They gave some money back for not having sessions because of app issues/connection and so no therapy. But it wasn't enough. I also realised it was mainly one of the therapists connection that was the issue and she didn't seem to care. In hindsight she could have done a voice call instead rather than waste my time! I was refunded £60 after having spent £600 for 3 months of wasted time and money. Even the group session I got removed from I assume because I was 5 mins late because of connection issues. Today I cried in my session because she triggered me and then I was told its my filtering to why I'm upset. Pointing out im nervous too doesnt make me feel good. I'm done with betterhelp!! The idea is good the reality is much different

Finally a platform for mental health that helps Using Better help has been a huge relief, Finding the right therapist can feel like dating, in that you have to look around sometimes before you find the right fit ; Thus I was grateful when they asked the right questions upfront in order to set me up with a good match. They do make it easy for (if you chose ) you can switch therapists easily as well.

Truly Helpful Counselors and Resources I am extremely grateful for BetterHelp. It simple to access yet professional and very helpful. The therapist is top-notch; incredibly empathetic, careful to listen and hear, patient, thoughtful, professional, and helpful. There are many resources available at BetterHelp including presentations with a wide variety of subjects to chat sessions. So grateful this type of service was available when I needed it most. It is really helping my put my experience into perspective so I can get well again.
