These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Brendan Grufferty . 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.
After three sessions with Brendan, I’ve had a very positive experience so far. He creates a safe, judgment-free atmosphere where I feel comfortable opening up about my past, current struggles, and emotions. Brendan is empathetic, understanding, and very easy to talk to, which has helped me feel heard and supported throughout the process. I appreciate his calm and compassionate approach, and I already feel that our sessions have been helpful and meaningful. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who is approachable, professional, and genuinely caring.

With Brendan, It was my first experience of therapy and it took me a while to understand the process. Trust Brendan and trust the process, he's a very patient, kind and understanding man. I will remember him for a long time.
Thanks Brendan.

I consider myself very lucky to have Brendan as my therapist. He exudes calm and creates a comforting environment which makes it very easy to open up to him. He has, in a short space of time given me great tools to cope with my insecurities and anxieties. Tools that have already actualised great change within myself.
I cannot recommend him highly enough
