I have met with Julie once. I have had quite a bit of different kinds of therapy in my life . I have learnt from a first meeting with your therapist you will know if this is the right person for you. I was very honest in what kind of therapy I was looking for. Betterhelp matched me with Lucy Ball. A few minutes into my first session I knew I had been matched well. You should feel confident and comfortable that you can share what you need with your therapist and I felt that straight away with Lucy I am now going to work with Lucy until I feel healed and healthy again. Thank you Lucy Best wishes Jenny

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
