Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Orlando Hollingsworth. 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 would like to thank Mr. Hollingsworth for our first session. I didn't know what to expect and was hesitant even to start. But he made my first experience with therapy really, really good. I am lucky that he is my first therapist. I've had some safe spaces before, but they often felt limited, or there seemed to be other intentions later on. With Mr, Hollingsworth, I felt a genuine love for what he does and a sincere desire to help people understand what they've been through. I feel hopeful that I have someone I can trust who will help me understand myself and find what I need. He created a safe space that I've never really experienced before. When he said this is a safe space with no judgment, It felt he really meant it-and he followed through on it.

Orlando is just brilliant; he is patient, empathetic, insightful and kind, and he has a great sense of humour, which takes the edge of my own anxiety about therapy generally. Our sessions are highly constructive and I feel that he is helping my feel my way through a number of pretty radical recent life changes. I highly recommend Orlando on every level.

Orlando is a great therapist, he understands me and my issues and talks to me in a way that I can really relate to. I always leave our sessions feeling clear headed and with the tools to take on an issues that pops up for me.

Straight speaking, respectful and supportive. Orlando gave me a new perspective on my issues and equipped me with helpful ideas to make progress.

Changing a therapist from the one I had (very nice, but not what I need) to Orlando, may be one of the best decisions I made in the last couple of months!
He makes the therapy suit me and my needs, and explains the process and work methods to make sure they are good for me.
Orlando understans me, helps me process what I am going through, gives me the support I need and we even get some good laughs.

Orlando is excellent. Really friendly. Really approachable and clearly very skilled. Has made a real effort to understand how I work and respond. Couldn’t have asked for a better therapist

I'd like to write a more extensive review at a later date but for now I want to say that he has had a massively positive impact on me, my life, and my personal growth in such a short space of time. He is a compassionate listener and natural problem-solver and warm human who has been excellent at encouraging me to explore questions or pathways where I've gone on to found the answers I was looking for every time. It's been an effortless and motivating experience thus far :-)

Orlando is absolutely brilliant. He listens without judgment and gives nuanced and insightful responses. He has been instrumental in helping me unpack and realise how I truly feel about situations and has helped me understand myself much better allowing me to make incredibly tough decisions that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to make. He is an incredibly respectful and patient guy who will go above and beyond what you expect from a counsellor on this platform. He makes you feel Incredibly comfortable, allowing you to discuss anything with him. I have nothing but immense respect for Orlando and I recommend him highly!

10 months into therapy with Orlando, i couldn't wish for anyone better. Not only does he listen and make our sessions and chats feel like a safe space since the day one, he makes sure his approach is personalised. Orlando is a therapist who goes extra mile to make sure his patients are getting the most from the sessions. I'm still on it but he's helped me start healing and understand so many things. His personality and approach is so welcoming, from the first session i could open up because i knew i was talking to the right person.

I haven't had many sessions with Orlando yet, but he exceeds my expectations and our talks create a very tangible difference in my life already. Whereas I felt that my previous therapist would ''sweettalk" me and ask vague or unimportant questions, Orlando asks me questions that makes me think twice about certain things and challenges my beliefs in a way that is direct but not uncaring which is really what I need personally. I like his unconventional approach and being both professional in his approach yet human in his responses. Orlando is a champion.

Orlando is by far one of the most understanding and caring therapists I’ve ever come across. His ability to put himself into your situation to truly feel what is needed for you, his problem solving skills and ways of bringing forward techniques and processes of how to better deal with problems when they arise in the future are truly outstanding. Can not recommend him enough!

The best therapist
Written on Jun 28, 2024 after therapy with Orlando for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes
I have seen many therapists over the years, but none compare to Orlando. His ability to quickly identify issues and uncover their root causes is unparalleled. Orlando’s approach is both thorough and adaptable; he provides multiple exercises to address the issues, and if one doesn’t work, he promptly offers alternative solutions until we find what works best. Even after just two sessions, I can already see a difference in my journey, and I am confident in his ability to help me further. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective and compassionate therapy.

Best therapist around. Prior to him, I saw therapy as a waste of time. Very good at providing analytical breakdowns, merged with casual observations and most importantly, next steps.

Orlando is a breath of fresh air, he just gets me. He knows what I'm trying to achieve and he knows the path that I'm trting to take probably because he is on that path himself. I trust in his wisdon, gudance and expertise. I think the most important thing is though I connect with him. He is excellent at breaking down barriers, breaking the ice and is extremly down-to-earth. I feel open to share and I experience healing through his service. He listens really well and has suitable solutions. I'm just glad that I have finally found a therapist that I can gell with. Orlando is awesome.

Orlando kindly took the time to connect with me and learn about my experiences. I feel like he really listens when we speak, and I find his responses and commentary so thoughtful, that it really helps me reflect and come to my own conclusions. I look forward to our sessions and feel like I'm speaking with a friend

Orlando has been an incredible help already and I am feeling very confident in our journey together towards not only my wellbeing goals but my business goals and personal mission as well. He has been able to strongly identify what I need from our time together and focuses on practical support as well as filtering in a lot of empathy, compassion and encouragement throughout our sessions. I am so pleased to have reached out for support and to have been connected with Orlando, he has a wonderful spirit and I would highly recommend him as a therapist.

Orlando helped me get from a state of being all over emotionally to being centered in a very practical way. He has vast knowledge and tool at his disposal which is very helpful. Highly recommend.

Orlando's approach is so supportive. Having tried counselling before I was sceptical what I would get out of it, although I was struggling with mental health and relationship issues, it took me a long time to sign-up, mainly as I was desperate as nothing was helping me improve. The weekly sessions I have with Orlando are a huge help, combination of reflecting on how my week has gone and my past have generated so many useful insights in a short space of time. Orlando supports me to understand how i may respond to my emotions, thoughts in a more healthy way, providing encouragement to make real change. I know I have some way to go, to change the habits of my lifetime, but I am confident that through regular sessions with Orlando, I will go onto enjoy life in a way I can only imagine right now.

So far, I’m very satisfied with my sessions. I’m confident and happy with the direction the sessions are going. I can feel a different personally and look forward to my sessions.
