These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. John Hilsdon. 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.
As someone who cheated on his wife multiple times during his relationship, John has helped me get a deeper understanding in the stories I was telling myself. Besides being a great, active listener, he has also given me the right tools to help me navigate the tricky landscape of the mind. I have now taught myself I can tell myself a different story, one that aligns with my values as a respectful human being, an honest husband and trustworthy partner. If I keep putting this person in the driver seat of my life, all else will follow. Thank you, dear John, for helping me gain the insights I needed and providing me with a set of practical tools to better understand my triggers and behaviour, a crucial skill that will be helpful in any situation for the rest of my life.

Dr Hilsdon, is very welcoming and I felt instantly at ease.
He is very experienced and I looking forward to continuing this journey with him.
