These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Zara Whiteley. 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.
Zara is a remarkable, compassionate, and very professional psychotherapist who has been very helpful to me. She is very focused, has an extraordinary listening ability, and has been genuinely committed to my well-being. Zara is not only an expert therapist, but is highly knowledgeable on philosophy and has shared and applied many meaningful philosophical reflections in our sessions that have added a lot of value to my healing and self-realization. I appreciate the very enriching and substantial conversations I have had with Zara, and I highly recommend her.

Zara is a great listener and I appreciate when she calls back to things I told her multiple sessions ago, she really just seems to care. She definitely chooses to encourage elaboration or empathize more often then give advice, so when she does give advice it’s really valuable.

I only had one Video session so far with her, but from that and the messages alone I would deeply reccomend her, she takes a lot of time to respond and talk with you. She also does it in a very proffesional yet emotional understanding way.
