I was matched with Sandra Winterbottom on the Betterhelp platform. When I first started therapy sessions with Sandra, I was really struggling with anxiety and it was preventing me from functioning properly in my day to day activities and preventing me from enjoying life. Sandra listened to what I had to say and through conversations with her, helped me understand what I was feeling and why I was feeling it. Conversation was easy and I made a lot of good progress with her help. She listened with empathy and was kind and understanding. I definitely recommend her as a therapist to support people dealing with anxiety.

I feel very comfortable expressing myself. Sometimes when I am focussing more on the people rather than the issues and myself, Sandra helps to steer me back on the course. This helps me stay focused. Thank you Sandra for continuing to help me.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Sandra is a great person and excellent at her profession. She helps me understand my emotions and work through them. She knows where to drill down to help me understand my emotions and deal with them. Her technique is all about letting me find my own solutions, but at the same time, she helps me get to these solutions. She helps me flourish. I am grateful to her and thank her for all her work.
