It is with profound sadness that I am writing this as my time with Rachael as my therapist with Betterhelp is coming to a close. I have come a long way on this journey from where I was with a deep grief and sadness that consumed me to now, where I have hope and excitement for my future. I would not be here without the guidance, the understanding, the patience, the caring and all those great messages and tools of inspiration that Rachael has provided me. Her qualities, knowledge and insight as a therapist are second to none in my opinion. I am a deep thinker and have used my thought process through my life and my career and especially in my love and beautiful relationship with my wife, Linda, for whom I have been grieving her loss for well over a year now. I know I will not stop grieving, but now it is with more happiness and that has been brought out from my brain by the methods Rachael has used to extract that, to help me organize and understand my feelings and how to move forward.
What a remarkable therapist and person she is!! She has a compassion and drive for what she does and works tirelessly to care and provide for my needs to get better. She was always there for me when I was down to prop me back up again and there with praise when I am doing better. I can only imagine what she does for others, but if what she does for me is a reflection, then Wow, she is truly amazing!
Rachael has helped me to find my smile again, to laugh and to love. What can be better than that? She has helped me find the gift of loving life again. Thank you Betterhelp for having Rachael there for me, but most of all thank you, Rachael!!!

There are not enough words to describe how much Rachel has helped me this year. She has such a kind, caring spirit and really made me feel heard. She has helped me confront trauma from my past and helped me walk through that to become much more confident and at peace. She is a great listener and has provided me with tools to handle anything that comes my way. I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a therapist. I am so very thankful for her.

In my two sessions I felt like Rachael completely understood and got me immediately. She comes across very personable and completely feels like she cares about me and my progress. Would recommend her to anyone else looking for a counsellor :)

I am not really someone that reacts very well to a typical “Therapy” environment because I use humor to mask a lot of my feelings and that’s not really the vibe when you see the therapist in my experience. Rachael not only makes me feel comfortable in our sessions, but they are actually really fun. I look forward to them weekly because she allows me to express myself and make jokes, but also helps me address my day to day stressors that may be underlying issues for my bigger problems. She is attentive, funny, but most of all she is knowledgeable and compassionate. She is extremely easy to talk to, and I could not recommend her enough!
