These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sara Pawelkoski. 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.
Sarah is a great coach, knows how to lead me to my own conclusions and highlights areas that I need to improve at. She is also great to virtually kick my bum when I start under valuing myself and always has great examples to gently direct me to the right track.

Sara has been a huge help and support during some of the most difficult times in my life. She always offers practical, sensible advice and doesn’t just tells me what I want to hear, but rather what I need to hear.

Sara has helped me come out of a dark place and helped me enable myself to be the best version of myself since I started therapy. She has also helped me learn the importance of putting myself first and I can now look at the mirror nowadays feeling confident in myself.
