I’m having a really good time with Ellie

Very comfortable, makes you feel at ease.

Ellie is great at helping you unravel what it is that you need to get off your chest, so to speak, and subsequently listening and offering sound advice where needed.
I hadn't spoken to a therapist for nearly two decades, and Ellie made me feel comfortable and safe enough to speak about very personal things right from the get go. I'm glad that I signed up to BetterHelp, and that I was matched with her!
