These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lorraine Ballintine. 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.
Lorraine has been an incredible anchor for me, she's present, she's engaging and above all she just understands. I feel no fear opening up to her and I know she has my back.

Lorraine has taken the time to get to know me and understand what I am looking for from therapy. I’m starting to address things I have held against myself for a long time and decades of self loathing

I don't normally write or read reviews but here goes, Right from the start, Lorraine has demonstrated an ability to unpack certain issues - in a way that's helped me navigate my own path through some difficult situations. Patient, kind and just ....there.
Priceless.
