I started counselling in mid November when I had issues to deal with. Since then this lovely lady has been my counsellor and confidant traveling with me on a new journey. And I hope she continues to do so. An excellent listener and great at goal achievement/targets, and great at putting big issues into perspective. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

A great start to my sessions so far. Really looking forward to seeing how BetterHelp can help me in the near future.
