- “Shirley is so amazing! I have stopped and started therapy a number of times and I never have that anxious feeling about returning. I know Shirley will respond in a timely manner with constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement all without judgement. Because of how much I've grown, I've recommended BetterHelp to all of my friends.”
- “Shirley is exceptional. I've tried other forms of therapy in the past, and I've always felt uncomfortable. I've seen psychiatrists, who either blame everything on sex, or just want to prescribe pills, and other therapists who want to have me play embarrassing role playing games. Shirley does none of that. She listens, and makes me feel heard. And then.. makes me think.. and doesn't force me to conclusions. Sometimes it just seems like I've just been talking with a friend, but afterwards I always seem to have something to think over, and I often take action on my thoughts. I've made several positive changes in my life recently, and I can't say that they've all been due to my counselling sessions, but I can 100% say that I've felt supported through these changes and am very happy to have met Shirley through Betterhelp :)”
