These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shirley Colee. 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.
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 :)

I have only had a few sessions with Shirely so far but she has been a huge comfort. I feel so much ease talking to her. She also has so much knowledge and expertise, and is very great at talking me through my thoughts and helping me process/understand them better. I am really happy to be working with her.
