These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Bernadette Gough. 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 been using BetterHelp for a while and had a generally positive experience with my therapist. They are a good listener and create a comfortable, non-judgmental space to talk. Sessions feel structured enough to be helpful, but still flexible depending on what I need that day.
Communication has been consistent, and I appreciate that they check in and offer practical suggestions when appropriate. While not every session feels groundbreaking, I do feel like I’m gradually making progress over time.
Overall, it’s been a supportive experience and a convenient way to access therapy.

Working with Bernadette has been amazing. She's provided me with a lot of valuable tools I can use independently now to help navigate difficult decisions and anxious moments. She strikes the right balance between creating a safe space and supporting you, whilst also keeping you honest and giving you some hard truths.

Bernadette is the first therapist that I found that is giving me the right tools to make real changes. She doesn’t just let me rant but helps me analyse and understand what is going on.
Bernadette is professional and structured in her approach, she makes a plan to guide you through the process of healing and achieving your goals.
