These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jacqueline Carter- Brown. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've been in therapy before with not much success but feel that in the past few months Jacqueline has helped me make big progress in my life much more than past years of therapy. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Jacqueline is so kind and caring. she asks the right questions and is able to help me dissect my issues so I can fully understand what is going on in my life. She gives me a lot of positive information to help me through what is going on in my life.

Jacqueline is a very sympathetic listener, non-judgemental and easy to open up to. I have appreciated the way she feeds back what she hears when I explain my feelings, and like her gentle guidance as to how I might move forward. This is my first experience of any kind of therapy and it is allowing me the space outside of the "noise" of family relationships to start to think about my own place within the dynamic. I would not hesitate in recommending Jacqueline.

Jacqueline Carter-Brown has provided me with an excellent therapy service in which she is attentive, respectful and helpful. I feel that Jacqueline asks good questions to prompt my thinking and has a strong professional career behind her to inform her knowledge on the matters we discuss in our sessions. I feel safe talking to Jacqueline about emotional topics as a young person and look forward to the relief and clarity our sessions give.
