These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tsz Yan Elizabeth Yau. 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.
Elizabeth is very caring and attentive. She often spends extra time in our sessions so that topics aren’t left unfinished. She listens exceptionally well and gently nudges me to stay focused when I start to drift. I really appreciate the friendly tone of our conversations.
Her approach is flexible and adapts to what feels most important each week. She typically responds to messages about once a week, sometimes more.
If you’re looking for a very structured approach with strict plans, or constant messaging throughout the week, she might not be the best fit for you.

Ms Elizabeth has truly helped me become a better version of myself. I’ve seen several therapists before, but none compare to her. In just a few months, I’ve made meaningful progress through our sessions. She is understanding, insightful, and genuinely supportive. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering therapy.

I have only just had my first session. However, I feel very comfortable and feel like I can be open and honest about how I really feel and what emotions I have and how I should understand them

Elizabeth has been amazing, she's really helped me process childhood trauma that affects me late into my adulthood. She has used multiple techniques and adapts each session based on how successful the techniques are going. She's been very personable, and a true expert in the field. I've had quite a few therapist over the years, but she is by far the one I've had most success with.
