These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lesley Parfitt. 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.
Lesley had been very helpful with a couple of current issues I have. She is sympathetic but challenges you to really think and reflect on things.

I’ve had three sessions so far with Lesley, and she’s amazing! I feel truly listened to and understood. She helps me unpack and process things in ways that really work for me. I’d recommend Lesley to anyone who wants to explore, heal, or challenge themselves. She creates a safe space and gently guides you through the issues you want to overcome. I’m genuinely grateful to be working with her.

Lesley was very easy to talk to and share my negative experiences and help to encourage me to help myself and added some tools for my issues. I was grateful and it was helpful.
