These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Helen Lamming. 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.
Helen is excellent. She is able to quickly get to the heart of a matter and has a great sense of when to ask questions, when to challenge and when to simply provide support. Her handouts outside of sessions are also super insightful and helpful. She has command of a broad range of tools and puts them to excellent use. I feel very lucky to have found her.

Helen Lamming provided valuable support and clarity in navigating a difficult breakup involving a partner with suspected covert narcissistic traits. She created a safe space for me to understand my relationship dynamics, offering insightful perspectives that aided in processing the experience. Her empathy and ability to validate my experiences were very helpful. I gained a better understanding of relationship patterns and tools for self-care. I would recommend Helen to others navigating complex breakups and seeking to understand potentially manipulative relationship dynamics.
