Jay is a great therapist with a lot of knowledge. He’s very understanding, patient, and non-judgmental. He gives great advice and is always concerned about my well-being. He responds in a timely manner and is communicative. I would recommend Jay if you’re needing someone to talk to or bounce ideas off of. He isn’t afraid to tell it how it is and that’s a good thing when friends or family may tell you things they think you want to hear.

Jay has helped me reach several of my mental health goals in such a short amount of time. I am so glad I made the switch to someone new who offered a different perspective on things. Anytime I feel overwhelmed, I have someone to talk to and who is super responsive. He also checks in with me to see if I’m doing okay when it’s been a while, which is something I love! Someone who cares! He is also very straightforward, which is a quality that I personally like. I would recommend him to anyone!

I was working closely with Jay years ago regarding marital issues and personal growth exploration and now years later I’ve requested to work with him again, hoping that he had a way to review our notes from the past and pick up where we left off and he has.

Jay is not only a fantastic person he is a top-notch therapist. When I came to him I had difficulties with losses in my family. I felt like I was on rock bottom but with Jay I feel like in climb the mountain. If you were considering getting therapy this will be the best thing you ever did sign up now and pick Jay because he’s the key to it! Working with Jay has been a life changer.

Written on Oct 26, 2022 after therapy with Henry "Jay" for 2 months on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, and coaching

He’s great. He’s really helped and is helping me. He’s invested, interested, helpful and kind. I switched therapists as I didn’t click with my first one and better help helped me pick a new one, they said to give them 5 therapists that I thought had good profiles that would suit me and they would see which ones had spaces available. Jay was 1 on my list and I was pleased about that. He’s been amazing and I have no doubt it will continue. It’s hard work and he defiantly deserves to be praised for it. He’s such a nice guy, and I feel I can open up to him. He’s really saved part of my life and my sanity, we are slowly putting the pieces back together and i think that’s the best you can ask for in a therapist. Plus the service offers a lot for people with anxiety like me, with messaging and text sessions you don’t have to be face to face on the screen if you don’t want to be. I found this great for pushing my limits a little and starting video sessions, it was hard but well worth it. I feel my time here has not been wasted and I don’t regret signing up. It’s great to know you can send a message,pictures, videos, links anytime nd you can mark them as urgent if you feel they need seen sooner. Jay reads all my messages, and I get the sense he really wants to help me and already has done.

I have tried therapy a few times before and did not have good impression, but working with Jay, I feel heard and being coached effectively, regardless of the culture differences and the difficulty of communication in my second language. From what I have experienced in the past 2 months, I believe that Jay has been working very hard and very smart for the well-being of his patients/clients (whichever word you want to use to describe yourself). I couldn't recommend him more.

When talking to Jay, I've felt like making more of an effort to see things from different angles. This has been a challenge whilst being in the centre of my own issues, but ultimately helpful. So far he has helped me to notice and reassess my thinking patterns that don't really help me move forward. I'd like to stay anonymous if this review is used.

I have been working with Jay for three months now I think and he has been a blessing. May it be a video call, phone call or just texting. He replies quickly and tried to give me new perspectives so I can see things from a different angle. Some of which I would never think about. He is respectful and listens carefully, even though I’m not a native speaker :) I can highly recommend Jay to anyone!

I have used many different approaches to therapy over the past 22 years, from school counselling to psychologists and even my psychiatrist. The fact that I can message Jay when I need, that his replies are quick, that if I disappear he follows up with me, I finally feel I have a safe environment to work at the things in my life that I need and want to work on. My experience has been so positive that I even had a friend join BetterHelp, and given the progress we’re both making, even our friendship is healthier. I only hope Jay continues on this platform for a long time to come.

Although it’s only been a couple weeks I’ve actually talked with Dr. Swedlaw quite a lot. He’s very understanding and encourages you to be a better version of yourself. He replies multiple times a day and I can schedule video chats which are shorter than I expected but thinking about it idk why I expected a full hour and messaging availability 24/7 at the low price I pay. I Highly recommend Dr. Swedlaw for any age, race, or sexual orientation/gender.

Ok, when I first started Better Help, I got bounced around from therapist to therapist and soon lost hope.

I've always felt out of place and misunderstood, but he began counseling with first asking many questions to know me and know what I want to work through. I'm so grateful to have a counselor who understands me and where I am coming from. His advice isn't cliche or cookie-cutter but is unique to me and applicable to my circumstances. He really works to understand me and hear me, so he can help me think through things more confidently and effectively. I'm so grateful to have found a counselor like him!

I have been working with Dr. Jay Swedlaw with my stress/anxiety issues for about 3 weeks now and fully credit the experience with helping me over this period of time overhaul areas of my life. Specially, during this covid-19 crisis where many people have become jobless including myself, I have been undergoing stress/anxiety and scary sleepless nights. At start, I wasn't sure what to expect from therapy and should I even think of investing money in such sessions during this crisis period. But not only Betterhelp firm had amazing payment options for people like us who have lost jobs leading to experiencing immense psychological problems but also, sessions with Jay Swedlaw have been inestimable. The way Dr. Jay makes you feel completely at ease discussing anything that is on your mind, being able to express difficult emotions is a huge relief. As, we are still at very early stage about getting bottom of my problems and issues; but, I'm still confident now that one day he'll be able to do so and drive me out of the situation with his expertise. I would definitely recommend Jay, who is a remarkable therapist and I am more contented to know he is there if I need any help in future. Thank you Jay for your incredible aid.

Jay is really cool and helping me during a very rough patch in my life. He understands things but offers kind insights I can't see on my own. He is respectful and gentle and treats me with respect. If something bothers me but seems hopeless to me, he doesn't ignore it or minimize it, but acknowledges it while remaining more objective. He is very cool and I would recommend him if you are struggling with depression and chronic pain and are scared of talking to somebody. He does not get angry or judge you and he has compassion. If you have had bad experiences in therapy before and are scared but still want to try, I recommend Jay. I was scared to try online counseling, but I am not scared of Jay and am glad I tried. If you are looking at different counselors but feel scared and like giving up, I would try Jay. I give him an A+ for being a counselor. Have a good day and don't give up.

It hasn't even been a month yet and I must praise Jay Swedlaw for all the help he has provided me. I don't know where I'd be right now if I didn't get matched to him. I will admit I was reluctant at first to start my sessions with him because he didn't look like me. But trust me when I say--he knows what he's doing and he's absolutely amazing! He is the reason why I plan to stay on with BetterHelp instead of a traditional therapy setting. I rather pay BetterHelp than go through my insurance because this platform is practical and convenient. If you get matched to Jay, I promise you won't be disappointed!

Jay has helped me a lot and in a way that is totally suited to me as a person. My situation is complicated and very soon it started to feel more simple. He gave me things to think about that put me on the right track immediately. I am enjoying the counseling with him. I also find the writing and receiving written answers extremely helpful as well as the live chats. I have had face to face therapy and was not sure at the beginning whether this would really work. My experience is that it is working even better, faster and more quickly down to the point because of writing and also having access to Jay when and as I need it.

This openness is doing so much of the healing, because what comes after this, is inevitable goodness! Jay is trying his incredible best in trying to understand me (which in my opinion is incredibly difficult haha) and I feel with time and perseverance, he will have fully grasped my complexions and thus be able to give the ultimate support I need, not undermining that his continuous support has been continuously beneficial as well!

I have never felt so confident in disclosing my personal information with somebody before. I have an extremely hard time doing this kind of stuff but Jay made it feel so natural doing so. It felt like I was just texting a friend about my day instead of disclosing private information to some stranger.

Written on Oct 09, 2018 after therapy with Henry "Jay" for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, eating disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, and bipolar disorder

I like the way Jay engages with his client. He relates his experiences on a similar level and shares things about himself in a professional way. He is always reaching out and is quick to reply to a message left in his mailbox.

Even though this is counseling online Jay has made this approach a very safe and open but private setting. It is nice knowing I can chat whenever about concerns and challenges I am facing day to day or even struggles I have been dealing with for a while. The only negative is I wish I had more time to participate with trying to juggle work and my down time with filling it up with more time to focus on therapy. I would like to put more time into this therapy and would like to dedicate more of my down time to helping my mind and body heal and grow from my past so I can enjoy my present and future :)

Jay helped me in a time of crossroads in my life. Years of higher education, mounting student loan debt, and lack of career opportunities had me a place of depression and feeling like giving up. Jay helped me narrow down what I really wanted and the pros and cons of what it would take to get there. He helped me put emotions aside and view my choices in a more logical way. I was recently offered a good job and have confidence in the choice to take it and where I have chosen to live. Jay is good at what he does and counseling through an online platform where there was communication everyday was so much easier and beneficial to me than in an office, one day a week. I can't thank him enough.

Jay has given me more confidence. Because, in Australia; especially in Melbourne I have attempted therapy with numerous clinical psychologists. They have given me inadequate psycho-therapy by not engaging with me accordingly. I find it much more expense to attend psychology visits and BetterHelp is more affordable. I have felt instinctively that Jay cares and likes what he does in his role. So, I really appreciate it.

I was suffering from high anxiety and some depression. Jay was really helpful in providing solutions and helping to create goals to alleviate some of the stresses. He is very responsive, timely, and informative. What I really liked about Jay is he put the responsibility on me to make the changes, but supported you along the way.

Written on Oct 18, 2016 after therapy with Henry "Jay" for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship, family, and intimacy-related

Jay has asked me questions which have caused me to think deeply about my relationship in a way that I wouldn't have without this counselling process. As a result I'm handling things differently and I have more confidence to carry out my actions within this relationship, rather than continually doubting whether what I am doing is right. This process has been incredibly helpful for me. Other issues in my life that I've been dealing with have been sidelined a bit in the counselling process though - I think Jay is right that the relationship issue is dominating things and needs my biggest focus.
