These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Johanna Skillen. 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.
Johanna has been an incredible therapist and source of support over the past three months. From our very first session, she created a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where I felt comfortable opening up about my thoughts, feelings, and challenges. Her compassion, empathy, and genuine care for her clients shine through in every conversation. She listens attentively, asks thoughtful questions, and provides insights that have helped me better understand myself and develop healthier ways of coping with life's difficulties. Johanna has a remarkable ability to make you feel heard, valued, and supported. Her guidance has helped me view my hardships in a different more positive way. I always leave our sessions feeling understood and equipped with practical tools to move forward. I would highly recommend Johanna to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and dedicated therapist. She has made a meaningful difference in my life, and I cannot thank her enough!

Johanna is the calm to my storm. Since the first session, Johanna has made me feel at ease. Professional, kind and empathetic, Johanna has such a warm nature and an approach that makes me feel no problem is too big nor too small to combat. Working with Johanna has allowed me to build a better version of myself both as a mother and a partner. I would highly recommend Johanna!

Johanna actively listens and has an incredible ability to make links and connections between my past experiences, current behaviour and potential triggers. Johanna has been able to sort through my often jumbled thoughts and emotions to narrow in on the things that affect me the most. She manages to challenge my negative thoughts in the most helpful and thoughtful way and is helping me to find myself again. Whilst I don’t feel “fixed” yet, I am hopeful for the first time in a very long time and Johanna never fails to remind me that I was never actually “broken” in the first place.

I am so grateful that I found Johanna. She is someone who I truly truly feel listens to me and doesn’t judge me in any way shape or form. I have had 3 sessions so far and even in such a short time she has given me so much hope that maybe everything will be ok.
