I have always looked forward to my chats with Kelly! She is warm and understanding, and she really took the time to get to know me and understand my concerns and anxieties. One of my favourite things about working with Kelly was that she commonly asked questions that led to personal insight or topics that I hadn’t realized required reflection. She was often a good source of kind honesty, even in tough situations, and I found her applicable solutions to crushing life situations really helpful. After working with Kelly, I feel much more grounded, and I have a whole toolbox to handle the anxieties as they come at me.

I've been able to challenge negative and anxious thoughts through my sessions carried out and I highly recommend working with Kelly!
Written on Jul 17, 2019 after therapy with Kelly for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and self esteem
It took me 4 counsellors to find one that suited me and I’ve been having sessions with Kelly for just over a month now! The difference she’s made in my life has been remarkable and even my friends noticed a physical difference.
She first listens and takes everything in first and then always manages to give you a fresh view/different perspective on the situation.
Kelly also promptly responds to messages (which is really great and rather difficult since we have an 8hr time difference!), for me personally this helps a lot for instant feedback when I am suddenly faced with a situation which I’m struggling to make sense of.
She’s has been a great help during a really difficult stage in my life and I am so glad that I managed to find her!

Wonderful, insightful, delightful! Kelly has been a great help in solving my mental health issues. She was very easy to talk to, she listened effectively and asked some very thought provoking questions, which really helped me challenge my negative thinking. Also, she has given me practical advice which I have applied to my life, with much success, and plan to use the techniques in the future. I highly recommend Kelly if you are in need of someone to help you through those dark times.

Kelly is really a great therapist, and person. I'm only into the third week in, and I've already experienced great progress, I feel Happier, More positive, and my Self Esteem is coming back, Next step is Anxiety, that I hope I can overcome this challenge as well with her help, if everything goes like it is going right now, I think my last 12 years of struggle will go away, Kelly is indeed my savior.

Kelly is an excellent counselor, and she really takes the time to fully understand what I am going through and how my anxiety has been effecting my way of life
She asks all the right questions and has helped me understand several of the root issues that have caused me to be in this anxious state, and she has provided me with several great, realistic, and easy to use tools and ideas to over come my anxiety. I have already achieved good progress in these two weeks since I started talking to her, and I really look forward to further improving myself with her support and guidance. You cannot go wrong with Kelly

I've been working with Kelly for about 3-4 weeks now and I've already noticed some vast improvement. I'm more aware of my emotions, I'm better able to manage my anxiety and I feel better about myself.

I am really grateful that I started my therapy with Kelly Griffin. I feel supported, understood and safe everytime we talk. She is very reflective, warm and supportive. I really like that she explains processes that are happening, making everything more clear, and I feel that she is always on point what I need to work on in session.

Kelly is awesome. She speaks to you like a person and less like a trained pro so you feel more connected like you’re talking to a friend. Don’t get me wrong. She’s a pro...

I really appreciated working with Kelly, she's the first therapist I've worked with and I felt very comfortable opening up and sharing very private intimate details with her that allowed us to work through them without judgement. She patient, a good listener and gives practical, to the point advice, thank you so much for your help Kelly.

Kelly is an amazing listener and great at helping you see your own perspective clearly as well as the perspectives of others you may be experiencing difficulty with.
Personally I was in a very bad state and didn't have much hope that I'd get the right help. But this has been a very insightful and healing experience and thanks to Kelly I see a brighter future progressing into a better and healthier person.

This was my first time to try "online counselling" and I am glad that I had Ms. Kelly. She responds to your messages almost right away. If she doesn't hear from you for a couple of days, she just send a message to check you in to see everything is OK. She is a good listener and gives you very useful techniques/suggestions to calm yourself. She is not a typical counsellor that just listens. She gives you good advice to deal with situations. I feel I can trust her, and she actually cares for me which I really appreciate. Thank you, Ms. Kelly!! You are making differences.

Kelly was my first ever Therapist. She is a great listener and she almost glides you in a way where you rely on your own intuition to figure problems out. She was extremely professional and went beyond her normal duties to ensure I was well taken care of.
Her ability to continue conversations seamlessly is so top notch and I recommend her to anyone.

When I started BetterHelp, I didn’t know what to say to Kelly at first. I just said anything I came up with in my head, and was wondering if my problem was properly conveyed to Kelly. I think she found out my issue and helped me to deal with it.
Most of all, I highly recommend her as your counselor if you want to get quick responses from your counselor. I got her answer normally every day. I felt like she was just there for me.
Thank you Kelly!
