Henry "Jay" Swedlaw, LPCC, LPC

Jay is a great therapist and takes the time to get to know you and the goals you have for yourself. He is very approachable and easy to talk to. I am finding therapy very useful!

Written on May 18, 2023 after therapy with Henry "Jay" for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Jay offers a variety of ways to get a hold of him and he is extremely knowledgeable and respectable. He listens and offers great advice. He doesn't just listen. He listens and engages and says what's on his mind which is what I was looking for. I've had other therapists where they simply listen and then the session is over before you know it and there was no advice given. Jay is responsive and I would recommend him and BetterHelp in general to anyone in need.

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. I look forward to working with him for the next couple of months and resolving some of my ongoing issues.

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.

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!

Although I come from a very different background and lifestyle, I feel Jay has been so open to my different way of thinking. 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! Thank you Jay!

I'm really happy with my sessions/chats. He listens and reads my long posts then gives constructive feedback while helping me compartmentalize what I'm feeling. I instantly felt better after ranting and when I was down (disappeared) he still checked in on me which was a nice feeling that showed he cares and wont just forget about you if you don't log in. He's very kind and thoughtful. I find his answers and guidance very helpful.

He says the things I know already but keep pushing away. The truth hurts sometimes but we need to hear it. And though every time I’m apprehensive at first, I always come down from it knowing he’s right. He has helped me a lot.

Written on Oct 19, 2018 after therapy with Henry "Jay" for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and relationship issues

Writing to Jay has been cathartic and his comments have been very helpful in fully identifying the disfunction and abusive relationships I find myself in. It is nice to have someone to share with and get validation for my feelings. He has been great and helps me look clearly at my choices.

Written on Oct 16, 2018 after therapy with Henry "Jay" for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, and self esteem

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.

When I met Jay, I was stubborn to him. I felt like he wasn't worth trying to give a chance to but in a time of crisis, he was still able to lend me his guidance. I am forever grateful for giving clarity and peace to mind. He is the kind of man that will pull you out when you're drowning in cold water.

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 am very grateful for his support.

Jay has been a blessing to me. It’s really nice being able to speak openly about my struggles and triumphs and he asks leading questions that get me to evaluate my situation in a way that helps me determine my next steps towards helping my family.

I was a bit uncertain seeking help online but I was desperate and time did not allow for me to go about it the old fashioned way.
I immedietly felt a valid connection with Jay and I really felt that he knew what I was feeling. He did not shame me in any way, he did not place blame on me, he made me feel at ease and all the while assuring me that what I was going through and what I was feeling was not abnormal. That was a relief. The dialogue between us was helpful in that he would ask applicable questions and provide solutions. I really had to think and stay on topic, which is something I could not do alone. He stayed in touch even when I couldn't be reached. Thank you, Jay.

I have had the opportunity to work with Jay for the past month and a bit. He has been really helpful!

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. He won't do the work for you, but give you the tools to succeed.

I highly recommend his counseling if you are in the LGBTQ community, have relationship issues, concerns about work, living a better work-life balance, or just need someone to speak too.

Thanks Jay!

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.
