BetterHelp - Therapy Erfahrungen und Bewertung

Ich habe wirklich einen tollen Counselor und schon den ein oder anderen Aha-Effekt erlebt. Mir hilft es, meine Geschichte jemandem erzählen zu können. Mir fällt das auch leichter, da es nicht Face-to-Face passiert. 1 Stern Abzug wegen des hohen Preises.

I moved from the US to Berlin in the fall of 2019. It is notoriously difficult to find a therapist in Berlin, especially one that is covered by your insurance and can speak fluent English. (Although I speak German, I wanted my therapy sessions to be in my native language because 1) I am more comfortable speaking English and didn’t want to spend my therapy sessions stressing about my grammar, and 2) I wanted to make sure that there was absolutely NO miscommunication.) I searched for several months without any luck, and then BAM, pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic obviously made finding a therapist near-impossible, so I put it off for several months. However, in the fall of 2020, I decided to try Better Help. I used to think that I wouldn’t like telecommunications for therapy but it has been amazing. I text with my therapist a few times a day, which is great for talking through smaller, day-to-day issues, and we also have weekly video sessions to address some of my heavier issues. It’s the perfect balance and is totally customizable to your needs, so I would recommend this service to anyone.

I think this platform offers a lot of us who are still hesitant on getting help in improving your mental health. It point you to a good direction in getting the therapy you need.
I believe even a bad experience is a learning one. And maybe one as convenient and affordable as this may convince you to have a go at it.
I hope those who want to better themselves get have the opportunity to do so.

It says “anytime, anywhere”, “get help now” but actually that’s a lie. Therapists are in US, so it is hard to arrange a time slot during the day in EU. I had to start paying one week ago, but it took many days to arrange just first call, then it was re-scheduled for later day and inconvenient time which i didn’t choose - it was chosen by therapist who does not see my calendar and can not know what times are good/bad.
“real time messages” also work in US only - i typically write something during day in EU and get a response during the night, so it’s a daily cycle instead of “instant”.

So I have just hit Rock Bottom emotionally a couple of days ago and I am done with running away from problems and building up anxiety and stress. So I decided to just go for it, found better help and was matched with a very nice Therapist that listenes and has amazing Tips and Tricks for everyday life. Not much else to say, definitely worth it for me personally!

Because of the Coronavirus I wasn’t able to see a therapist, so I decided to give this app a try. I’m very grateful for it! You answer a few questions in the beginning and by the answers you’re gonna be set up with a therapist who matches with your needs. It’s a great concept and I highly recommend it.

This app is a good idea in theory. You get to talk to real people, which is great. It’s also beneficial for people who may struggle to actually open up to somebody.
However, counselors don’t answer as frequently and elaborate as you might need and you don’t really get to try if this actually works for you without paying the entire costs for a month upfront. I have figured quickly that this type of counseling does not suit me but it doesn’t look like I’m being refunded for the rest of the time I didn’t use. Most expensive 4 messages of my life. It wouldn’t recommend it.

I love better help because I can get in touch any given day or time. I don’t have to get to an appointment on time or wait for one for long periods. Also sometimes it’s just easier to write things down than to look someone in the eyes. Also the process of writing it down for me is therapeutic in itself. All in all I’m super happy with it so far.

Very helpful and competent therapists, great user experience and a lot of additional guidance. There is no reason not to get the help you need today.

I had just a few sessions so far but the constant support I get already helped me challenging so many issues and I see improvements!

I had a problem recognizing my stressors, the sources of my problems and bad mood. I had great sessions with professional and competent therapist and I managed to reflect better, be more assertive and feel better. Great help!

Its a great service, eventhough it isnt cheap. It helping me alot. Also meetings with therapists in their office would be so mich more expensive so its great to have the therapist basically in your pocket and getting things sorted out.

I moved to another country and still can’t figure out how to find a doctor. I needed help ans diese App matched me within a day and I was speaking to an amazing therapist within 48 hours. Worth it!

This app helped me have more hope and try to tackle issues directly, very uncomplicated and very helpful. Also great group seminars.

I couldn‘t try it because it costs 50$ a week, that‘s just too much for me. In Germany where I live therapy is free but I thought this app could help me right now, because I dont like to go and talk face to face to a therapist but I read here that the app will also tell you this when you really need help and leave you alone.

They supposed to offer support. I’m studying psychology and decide to make a check of this service app, like I do with others, this app send you straight to a face to face therapist without more counseling if you seem to have suicidal thoughts. Not bad but if a person open this app looking for help they need to provide that otherwise I think is more dangerous to leave a suicidal person alone with that kind of thoughts and not help at all!

I’m used to building up all my emotions inside of me without telling anybody. My counsellor here helped me understand myself more and gave me worksheets to get a better grasp of what effect my unconscious decisions have on myself.

10/10 would recommend if you need help fast and fitting to the problems you are experiencing

I think it can help just knowing you have the option to speak to an expert in a timely manner.

While certainly not cheap, I believe that the price is absolutely justified. If you're like me who suffers from anxiety and seeing a therapist in person stresses you out... this is a good alternative so far.

I’m using it from Germany and love the service. Make sure I’m the beginning to choose a counsellor who is available to good times in your time zone.

I think this app is a very helpful tool for when you are feeling lost and need someone to talk to. Just by writing about your day, your deals with life helps you put your real problems into perspective.

I can definitely recommend this service, I am absolutely happy with the help provided.

This is an easy to use service that provides many benefits and is somaccessible

All works well. Customer service is very good.

It does have issues scheduling across different time zones though.

The app could be a little more pretty and run a little more smoothly, but the service is great and I have a wonderful counselor at a fair price.

Therapy is work, I’m finding this to help with the current situation called life

the online service. It works.
