I have only had 3 sessions with James so far, 3 of the best sessions in my life I did not even know I needed so badly.
James is patient, listens, understands my concerns and profers the best solutions!
My therapy experience so far has been miles ahead of what I thought it would be.
Thank you James! You’re really great at what you do!

A great therapist who deserves all accolades

I was expecting this process to move much slower as I often feel misunderstood and not great at verbalizing my emotions, history, and relationships. I'm honestly shocked at how well and quicly James understands me, can help me articulate, and he either has an incredible memory or keeps detailed notes as he ties in previous conversations we have had with precise accuracy.
I've been throughly impressed with his rapid assessment and feel like we got on the right road right off the bat. Very fortunate to have been matched with him as my therapist. thank you~

Jerome has played a huge role in my personal development! He has helped me set much needed boundaries with others, helped me realize the value of loving myself and showing myself grace, amongst others. He helped me navigate the most challenging periods of my life and I’m very thankful for Jerome!

The best! I had such a great first time therapy with Jerome. He has given me the tools to empower and respect myself. Thank you so much.

It continues to surprise me, the lengths to which I've kept myself blind to myself. Thank you Jerome for respectfully and kindly guiding me to see how I'm holding myself back. With your sessions I've been able to uncover the ropes I've been tying myself down with and to climb towards my potential.

James has been the ear and guidance I've needed for longer than I realize. I look forward to our sessions always. Thank you for being there.

Jerome has been a lifesaver for me. At a very weak time in my life, he broke through my false ideas and deepest anxieties. He helped me let go of some harmful thinking that I had allowed to dominate my life for years. And he led me to a path of more positive living and a greater enjoyment of my life.
On a spiritual level, Jerome became a voice of peace and God's immense caring. He helped me grasp the truth of how so many of my worries were out of my power, but safely in God's hands. And he reminded me to always, "be encouraged."
I'm honored to have worked with such a great soul as Jerome. He is a true disciple of Christ, and a blessing to his clients.

I'm very grateful to be matched with Jerome, as he's made sharing my truths easier & more comforting. He's very understanding & non-judgmental. He's clear, concise and administers healthy boundaries. As a patient I feel safe, seen, and validated!
Finding a therapist through BetterHelp was the most PAINLESS experience! I didn't have to "shop" & travel around. Having help picking the right therapist saved me so much time, energy, and etc...I'm satisfied...

Jerome has been a godsend, helping me during a tricky time in my life. He is down to earth, understanding, patient, calm, and so wise -- everything you'd want in a therapist. He cares about you. I've been working with him for months now and he's helped me more than he knows. He's helped me see the big picture, and supported me through navigating inner work and tackling the big goals in life. Thanks for being a great therapist, Jerome.

I couldn't recommend Mr. Wells any higher. He's highly prepared for every session. He is professional and caring and provides wisdom that I will take with me forever.

Jerome has been an invaluable help and asset in my self healing journey following a very difficult time in my life. Having never been to therapy before I had some reservations before going in to it. Jerome quickly obliterated my doubts and I quickly realised going in to therapy was perhaps the best decision of my life. Jerome couldn't have been a better match. He's a great listener, exuding confidence and a warm down-to-earth personality that makes you feel like you're in great hands. I had a breakthrough in my very first session, which serves as a testament to his abilities. Oh, and he's pretty funny too!

Jerome is caring, kind and clear with his points. He’s said things in ways I needed to hear. Ways that made me gain a deeper understanding of certain concepts that I’ve struggled with for some time. Would definitely recommend to any one looking for someone to help you see truths with comforting guidance.

Mr Wells is a very understanding, compassionate and helpful therapist. He has helped me to find a solution to my problems and process very difficult emotions. The thing I appreciate the most is the consistent feedback that I receive every session. I have had one too many private AND NHS-funded therapists who have only listened but did not help me at all to solve any of my issues.
Jerome Wells is the person who has gained a lot of respect for me, so I don't doubt he can help other people.

I was skeptical of this website, because I've only ever experienced therapy/counseling based on word-of-mouth recommendations. But, I got paired up with Jerome, and from the first session I felt more enlightened than I ever have in my life, honestly. Jerome is talented beyond understanding, was able to pull specific issues and solutions out of me within our first 1-hour session which blew me away, and provides actionable steps for me to take to get to where I want to go or need to be. I told Jerome that "I don't know what I don't know" and he nailed it by helping me discover those things that I didn't know about myself. Truly an expert, truly helpful, and highly recommend.

Jerome is an incredible counselor and highly recommended. He is extremely kind and listens well, before responding and pushing you to think introspectively. Truly appreciated that you can tell Jesus is at the heartbeat of every conversation he has with you.

He’s helped me so much in navigating through my own ways of thinking. I feel safe, heard and supported by Jerome. Definitely one of my favourite people in the world.

Jerome is truly called to be a counselor. My first session with him was so uplifting; while also calling me to be the man God created me to be. I’m a plan it kind of person; Jerome immediately discerned my need and provide sound wisdom and tools to begin building my plan. Truly he is a blessing!!!

First time talking to a therapist made me feel very anxious but Jerome was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable.

Very good resource. Challenges my way of thinking and acting. Respectfully Tells me what I need to hear, even if it's hard to hear.
