Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kim Forbes . 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.

This is my second time returning to Kim for therapy after a year of me having no therapy, as I did not feel the need for it for that time period. However, I am very grateful to be able to return to work with her, as she helped and supported me through some very difficult and turbulent times last year. And I have complete confidence that we will work well together again now. Thanks.

Kim is very professional and informative, the shape of sessions is dynamic between reviewing experiences and providing insight for self advice on the issues.

She is such a motivating and inspiring presence! Very empathetic and very understanding of me. I feel like I can finally face some of the more complicated issues in my life, because she just offers me support every step of the way, so I never feel like I’m doing this alone.
