I asked a simple question which was can I not do a weekly subscription as I wanted to submit this to insurance. The response I got back was an AI bot answer (admitted it was AI) and it pretty much said no . Don't waste your time with this company
Horrendous experience: Matched with a therapist and availability was very limited and took 3 weeks to organise an appropriate appointment. In this time I was charged £60 per week despite no services rendered. Then the session online did not work and we could not get through to the therapist at. I messaged her to say we wouldnt be continuing and were seeking in person therapy and i thought this would have stopped everything. Instead I find i have been charged for 10 weeks!!! I am not in financial trouble as I am £600 down and am hoping they refund buy other reviews make me worry it is all lost. Taking advantage of people already on a vulnerable situation, it’s disgusting.
Anyone can write a CrowdTrust review. People who write reviews have ownership to edit or delete them at any time, and they'll be displayed as long as an account is active.
My partner and I scheduled a couples therapy session on the regain platform. However, the therapist was a no show at the time of the appointment. Despite several attempts made to reach this therapist via messaging there was no response and the video session did not happen. Needless to say this was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. And this scam of company charged my card before services were rendered. So now I am having a difficult time getting a response from their customer service after contacting them and asking for a refund.
It was absolutely highly unprofessional.
Unseriös.
Nimmt 75EUR pro WOCHE (egal ob ein Therapeut zugewiesen ist oder nicht) und ignoriert Präferenzen.
Habe explizit angegeben, das ich einen DEUTSCHSPRACHIGEN Therapeuten zugewiesen bekomme, wurde ignoriert (Warum wird dann erst in der Anamnese danach gefragt?). ALLE weiteren Therapeuten, ebenfalls nicht deutschsprachig.
Account wurde gekündigt, und Paypal Zahlung zurückgezogen. Für mich nicht nutzbar.
I have been left in financial hardship, on there site the Q&A states that the prices range from 45-75 billed per month, they have been taking 45 per week from my account for the last 7 weeks, a total of 315. And we only had one session and did not book again. I am honestly left feeling stressed and anxious. UPDATE: They have refused to refund, in fact they make no mention on this and instead offered me and extra 28 day free. I have responded and refused this as I already didn't need them for 6 weeks that they took payment for, and now they have not replied to me for two days. Absolutely awful company.
We signed up due looking for counselling and it seemed like a great option. We work a lot and connecting together can be quite difficult.
Upon starting a profile we was shocked to see they take payment up front for the first week and it takes a few days for a therapist to be allocated to you - although this will depend on who best matches you. Once you have connected you, ONLY then do you start to book in a session - which were all suspiciously the next week (payment farming?).
We arranged childcare, arranged our work hours, planned some time after for me and my wife to take things in - only to find our Therapist cancels an hour before the meeting. You can guess we was quite frustrated.
Upon re-arranging the next available meetings were all on days we had originally said we cannot do and given the option to find another therapist we was trust into the "waiting" game to match with another Therapist and the next available meetings/sessions were almost a month out.
All this time we are paying £60 a week.. you get whats happening here - we are basically being taken advantage of with poor management in this platform and its just about collecting as much money as possible.
We actually had the choice to go through government options but we chose to do it via Regain as we felt going private might be a better option and didnt mind paying for a quality lead service. We have since decided we will be approaching the other options and going down that route instead or paying for a local private therapist. We will not be sucked into the online subscription based farming strategies again.
Note : Regain did offer us 2 weeks credit to the account in the end - only to find out the next time we can meet with a therapist is a month out. It really defeats the offer.
The platform design is not good. Customer support staff communication is horrendous.
The platform design is really not good in several ways.
The communication from customer support staff is horrendous.
The therapist was amazing, though.
The platform needs to do much better if people want to go back to use it.
Terrible company, charged me for 2 sessions despite offering me having no sessions. I have continually asked for a refund and all my emails have been ignored. I would avoid at all costs
As soon as I paid the app stopped working now they won't give me my money back. DO NOT USE. Tried them previously too and had a very unprofessional therapist who kept talking to her cats when we were discussing our issues!!!!
Regain/Better Help has TERRIBLE customer service. Our therapist had to cancel three different sessions so I was directed by the therapist to notify Regain so I would not be charged. At one point, they “extended” my contract for two weeks but continued to withdraw monies from my account. Through a series of emails and being redirected to multiple incompetent customer service representatives, the issues were still not remedied. The customer service team refused to follow through on the credit and later stated “it’s a weekly membership program”. So regardless of whether your therapist cancels or they “extend” your contract, you pay for the service. Customer service is slow to respond, and there is no way you can speak to a real human via telephone. I do NOT recommend the Regain/Better Help platform. I was able to locate my therapist via private practice and it is much cleaner to work with directly and have my insurance billed. Regain has the worst customer service of any professional platform I have ever worked with.
Better Help was a nightmare. They took my $360.00. They gave me a few counselors suggestions, that were totally unrelated to me. It is as though they are trying to push therapists , who need clients and never ever read the info that the customer submits. I asked for an adult lesbian therapist, the list provided had none. I emailed ask asked WTF. They said ok we all try again..... yup no lesbian therapists. Really, really, none in your supposed large data base. ??? They agreed to refund my money, but I have yet to see it . They are thieves and frauds. Stay away
I moved my whole schedule to have my first session today and it was cancelled at 1.5 hours notice. I am extremely unimpressed. People have work, children and very busy schedules. I am put off by this and do not wish to invest my money into a counsellor who can simply cancel. People sign up to this with the need for assistance. The next available appointments were 10 days away. NOT GOOD
My husband and I carved this time out of our schedules for this session. The therapist never showed up. I refreshed the page. Then my husband tried twice on his computer, because, well, I must not know what I am doing despite the pre-meeting computer test. I sent a message. No answer. If anything, you've sunk us lower than we were.
Wish I could give 0 stars. I did not sign up for any plan or membership at any point I was just looking through their website and started filling out the questionnaire but I never finished it! Suddenly they emailed me saying they had a therapist signed for me and I emailed saying that I am still looking into my options. Then they informed me that I have a plan that costs. This cannot be legal. It was never mentioned nor did they ask for a credit card information or gave a price for service that would even indicate that you have signed up for a plan. They should be sued for this type of false information.
For me it is a fraud!!!
first it is not clear that it is a membership where if you do not book a session the cost is still charged
second they promise messaging with your therapist 24/7 and she never answered us and we only texted her two time in emergency
again when I asked for explanations both to our therapist and to customer service they bounced each other off and then stopped answering and the therapist advised me to go to couples therapy sessions in person , if I could I would never find myself in this horrible situation
Be careful do not use this platform
My first therapist was unresponsive and never showed up on several occasions. Then, I switched to another therapist and she didn’t say much at all during our sessions. It wasn’t helpful at all.
Terrible service for a 'therapy' provision. Would never reccomend.
Booked for couples therapy to try to save my marriage and family life. original therapist never responded at all! So i requested a new one and weeks later was matched with a new therapist (Julia S) cancelled last minute for her own health reasons and then didnt contact us again for over 3 weeks when I had asked if she was feeling better.
When i tried to rearrange i heard back after christmas, by which time my husband had decided he didn't want to try couples therapy anymore,
I contacted regain to request a refund, to which they agreed in emails response as we had not used their services at all. I responded to their email to confirm I had followed all the steps they had given to cancel my direct debit and let my therapist know we were not continuing (interestly she responded to that)
That was 3 weeks ago, I've sent 3 chaser emails on a weekly basis and am being ignored. I will be taking the matter further as I have it written in black and white and this is adding further stress to my already overloaded stress and depression levels and a failing marriage that I was trying to save, Not to mention i had paid 4 installments of £260 whilst this was ongoing so have spent over £1000 and recieved nothing in return. They are very clearly only interested in your money and causing further disruption and chaos in an already fraught and dismal situation.
