I needed immediate therapy and this app assisted. If there was a more flexible payment program I would have stayed but £180 a month is too much. If it was £45 a session and I could pick the times this would be great. The app is an amazing tool; I was paired with a perfect councillor and the messaging, diary, work space tabs were brilliant. I just couldn't commit to the price

Really disappointed so far. The areas of specialty of the counselor that was assigned to me do not match my needs, the list of issues one can seek help for doesn't even include postpartum depression etc, and most annoyingly, a pop up keeps taking the whole screen to get me to set up a session, preventing me from reading the message the counselor sent me. After going back and logging in again 5 or 6 times, I'm giving up. I had high hopes but this is too frustrating. Please fix it.

Finally found a therapy and therapist that work for me. And from the very first match Brilliant exeprience. Just one piece of advice. I should be able to write journal entries for past dates. Sometimes i am not in the right space or do not have the time to write. Please improve the journal function with a feature that allows me to write an entry to any past date. Also, theapp overall needs improving, but has a decent levef of functionality.
