Better Help

Has anyone used better help for therapy for depression? I heard about it from a podcast but it’s £220 initial payment which seems crazy if I might not like it. I wish they did a one off trial session so you can see before signing up monthly.

Avoid, there's no guarantee that you will get regular sessions with the same therapist, or that the online platform will work, and you have to pay anyway.

Many therapists will offer a free initial chat so that you can get a 'feel' for each other before you make a decision. Might be worth checking out other options and local practitioners.

Yeah. I don’t know why I didn’t do this first.
