BetterHelp

I used it and the therapist didn't turn up twice. She then emailed after with some BS excuse about not having Internet, but I was an online teacher at the time so I recognised that lie at least. When it's your job, then you use your mobile data or go somewhere that does have Internet! Never bothered again after that

I would be cautious using that. I’ve heard that pretty much anyone can sign up to be a “therapist” on there and the majority don’t actually hold any qualifications.

I use it. I wanted to be paired with specifically a Christian therapist & that's what I got. I have a great therapist now that I was initially doing weekly sessions with but now only whenever I need ☺️ i also got 30% off during Maternity leave because I was on lower pay.

I use a real therapy company. I prefer in person

I wouldn’t use it. It just seems to be everywhere and that gives me the impression it’s probably got loads of crappy therapists on there. My cousin and uncle are counsellors and pick up clients on Better Help as well as having their own business, and they’re both freaks, especially my uncle. He’s just a dirty pervert and he uses his client’s stories around the dinner table to humble brag.

In 2023 it came out that they pay therapists well below market rates, and the FTC reported that BetterHelp shared sensitive user information (including health questionnaires and email addresses) with third parties,

Idk if any of that has changed, but regardless I prefer in office sessions. I don’t even like doing sessions over the phone with my typical therapist
