Feel safe when speaking with Amanda. Makes me feel listened too, has provided me with some "homework" that I find real useful. Very happy with my service this far

Amanda is genuine, kind, and insightful. I started seeing Amanda for counselling 1.5 years ago when I became physically disabled. She helped me through a dark and challenging time in my life which was riddled with intense physical and emotional pain. Amanda broke my social isolation, supported me, and reminded me how strong I was throughout it.

I am proud to say that I have made tremendous strides since I first started with BetterHelp. Today is a bit like my “therapy graduation day” and I feel like a phoenix emerging from the ashes of my trials and tribulations. This chapter of my journey would have been much more difficult without Amanda. I will be forever grateful for her and her help.

We always have chat that helps me understand parts of me. how I reflect and why, even if I don't have a specific problem to fix at this moment. It is an ongoing process to live life at your best and she helps me very much in doing this efficiently

Incredibly understanding, and amazing person. She helps me realize things myself, and gives new outlooks I have never thought about.

I started counselling a few months ago when I was going through a very difficult period of my life- my thoughts were invasive and negative, and I was lacking so much in self-confidence. Every week, Amanda patiently listens and helps me to re-think these thoughts and perspectives. I’m on my third month of counselling, and although I still have days that aren’t better than others, my shift in perspective has monumentally changed. I feel confident about who I am- what is in and beyond my control, and I am so much more at peace with how I see my relationships with my family and friends. When I speak to Amanda, I feel like I’m speaking to a friend that I’ve known for years who really cares deeply about me. I’m so grateful for her and that I am able to speak with her every week!!! (So much so that I recommended Better Help to one of my closest friends)

My first time counseling and couldn't have been better, Amanda is for far one of the most kind person I've spoken with. I would definitely recommend her and with not a single drop of doubt in my body I would go back counseling with her if I need it again, although she's given me some really good tools that I'm sure are gonna be useful to me for life.

Although it's only my 3rd week speaking to Amanda... I've never had anyone to talk to in this way. If I could advise anyone considering getting help with any problems they are experiencing then please just do it! Don't be embarrassed because people like Amanda dont judge... They just listen! Thank you.
