These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ben Powell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've only had two sessions with Ben, but for sure it's been a real eye opener for many aspects of myself and Ben has been extremely helpful and informative. Looking forward to each session!

Ben is a very good listener, just as I needed. He has a broad life experience and he was always there when I needed him. He understands what I am going through and he helps me feel less burdened after each session.

Ben and I have been working through chat, which really suits me. It means I can work with him in confidence in a variety of settings. Ben's been really supportive and helped me just get out some things that I don't speak about with anyone else, and that alone has been healing. But also, he's giving me practical and helpful advice and exercises. Professional, friendly, and works with me in a way that makes sense to me.

Ben is great. He is everything you’d want in a therapist. This is my first time with therapy and found it a very easy entry into finding good help to navigate life’s toughest problems!
