Wow I'm so grateful to have something… Wow I'm so grateful to have something like betterhelp at my fingertips. It's affordable and in a time of extreme need and a dark point in my life a betterhelp matched me with a therapist and since my sessions started I am a happier, brighter and motivated person. I was worried because I lost my job and money was tight but if you feel it's very important find a way for your happiness and trust me it's worth it.

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.

plus plus BetterHelp encourages everyone to open the pandoras box. It makes you realize that therapy is not just for the weak but also for the strong.

Mixed bag and not particularly affordable I have used BetterHelp on a few occasions. I chose BetterHelp as it appeared to be reputable and had more reviews than other platforms of a similar nature. I liked that your sessions could be via IM. However, despite BetterHelp advertising itself as affordable, it is hardly any cheaper than regular therapy sessions with a more reputable therapist. I have found some online therapy charging £25 per weekly session which is almost half the price of BetterHelp. You also have to pay for a month advance which isn't fair value when your therapist may not be available for a full month of sessions. I haven't found this platform particularly helpful. Some therapists clearly use this as a side hustle so you don't get the level of care you want. The first therapist I used was my favourite. We sent messages back and forth rather than just having a single session a week. I felt like I had a therapist to hand on a regular basis. However, he did go on holiday for a little while and I was still charged the full month. As I was struggling to pay for this therapy, I ended up cancelling. When I re-joined I wasn't able to connect with him again and was matched to a different therapist. This therapist didn't respond to messages like the first therapist did so I only spoke to him during our weekly sessions. The sessions were not helpful. He kept telling me I felt and angry and rejected. I was fully aware of my feelings. I was looking for support on how to navigate and deal with them, which he did not provide me. I switched therapist, this one didn't even respond at all. I eventually cancelled and did some further research. I discovered that although all of therapists on the platform are qualified, they aren't all good. There are a lot who are inexperienced or disinterested and it's difficult to match with one who will provide the support you want. There are many reputable therapists and councillors who now offer therapy online in some form the price is equal/cheaper. I also think the way the subscription works needs to be changed. You pay for the month upfront but that doesn't guarantee sessions or communication from your therapist. If you pay for the month in advance, you should be in regular communication with your therapist or they should give you the option to pay per session.
