Just signed up to Betterhelp to get a therapist

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone else used them? I have tried and failed to get a therapist locally so I thought I'd give them a go. The fee is £60 weekly.

What is the 60 quid for

Presumably for the therapists fees. If it's crap I will cancel it.

Private healthcare fees can be quite costly.

Oh right
I just looked at the site

Have you ever looked at Qwell
https://www.qwell.io/signup/where-do-yo ... FQEALw_wcB

It's free and NHS but it is all done via email I think

That looks like the Samaritans site. [email protected] They're helpful but it's a different person each time so you can't build any kind of relationship and trust with them.

Yeah I know what you mean there
Plus I think it's better to say things out loud as well

I'm just giving Qwell a go so let's see how that goes. Cheers bb.

OK cool

Qwell have just told me they don't have chats when someone's been drinking so that's a non starter.

Oh right

I wonder why though

Therapy doesn't work well when someone is intoxicated. Too hard to build connections that are authentic

I got therapy at BetterHelp for some months last year. It was wonderful! I had to stop when I ran out of money. If you don't care for the first therapist you get, there's a button to click and a screen comes up where you pick another. No explanations. My first was young and baby oriented; I needed somebody old like me. Done, in no time flat. So much good help and guidance received - I was looking for help in practical matters.

All the very best to you in your endeavours.

That's really good

I'll keep Better Help in my bookmarks I think
It's good to know there's help out there isn't it
