Does anyone know if its as good as like places like mind?
Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    I have used it, it’s basically private therapy. The therapist I had through it was wonderful, she really helped me at the time. I would use it again if I had the money but you can get up to a 40% discount if you’re unemployed or otherwise struggling financially

    @independent_ do you think it's worth the money

    It's only £60 a week for teens apparently

    I was watching reviews on YouTube about BetterHelp a few months ago. I tried to find the ones that were legit and based on personal experiences rather than paid advertisements. From what I could gather, it’s hit and miss depending on what therapist you get. I guess this is also true for in person therapy too. Sometimes you connect with people and sometimes you don’t. I read that you can change your therapist though if you’re not a fan, I think that’s a positive.

    I think they offer video chat/phone call sessions which imo is kind of important for therapy to be worth it. It helps for them to see if and when you’re uncomfortable and also avoids any miscommunications that can happen over text bc of lack of body language / tone of voice

    Tbh, for £60 pw I’m pretty sure you can get private therapy locally if you wanted to but it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try if you’re curious. Just look to see if it’s a subscription you can cancel if you’re not a fan

    @JustV Thank you for this I wasn't aware of this but I have heard mixed messages from people who have accessed their services, but like you said I wouldn't want this to put people off but it's always good to know

    Also side note - love the new pfp, very wholesome!

    Haha thanks! The longer I look at it the weirder it gets, so I might change it :sweat_smile:

    I no longer work at The Mix! If you need anything, message or tag @TheMix

    @JustV I did love the cat one but there's some clear bias there 😆
