  • One Free Month of Counselling: Valued at USD$300

Why choose online therapy?

Here at Griefity, we offer a range of grief support services and self-care tools, but it is also important to have access to licensed mental health professionals. This is even more important if you are experiencing anxiety, trauma, distress, or complex grief. Mental health professionals are trained to assist you in clinically relevant ways so you can receive the care you need.

  • Grief can feel overwhelming, and counselling offers a safe, supportive space to process your emotions with a licensed professional.
  • This offer provides a flexible, affordable way to try online counselling and receive professional mental health care.
  • Online counselling isn’t for everyone, but research shows it can be just as effective for many people, especially for those navigating grief or life transitions, and especially for people who may struggle to access or afford in-person local therapists.
  • You can cancel at any time, with no reason needed.

“Honestly this was life changing for me. I tried a few therapists until I found one that was a really good fit. She has helped validate so many of the things I was feeling, and gave me very specific strategies to help move forwards.” – Sharon, United States

“I found it so difficult to access a counsellor locally to me in New Zealand. The services I contacted were often outside of my budget or with long waiting lists. I used BetterHelp to connect with an amazing therapist in the USA, who has helped me significantly in processing grief and trauma.” – Shelley, New Zealand

We have thousands of members, and if only a small number of them of them sign up for this offer, it will total well over $1 million of free mental health support, thanks to BetterHelp.

Why is Griefity partnering with BetterHelp?

Griefity and BetterHelp share a mission of making mental health support more accessible. We know that therapy can feel out of reach for many due to financial or logistical barriers. This partnership is one way to reduce those obstacles and provide an accessible starting point for healing. BetterHelp is the largest online therapy provider in the world, making it the most available to our members, regardless of their location.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

Online therapy isn’t for everyone, but research shows it can be just as effective for many people, especially for those navigating grief or life transitions. BetterHelp’s platform is designed to offer flexibility and accessibility, helping people connect with licensed therapists from the comfort of their own homes.

What if I don’t feel ready for therapy?

Grief is deeply personal, and there’s no timeline or “right way” to navigate it. If you’re not ready for therapy right now, Griefity offers other resources, like guided pathways, reflective exercises, and community support, to help you process your loss in your own time.

I’ve heard criticisms about BetterHelp. Why choose them?

We understand that some people have concerns about online therapy platforms. BetterHelp is the world’s largest online therapy platform. It has a network of licensed, accredited therapists and offers flexibility, affordability, and access to care for those who might otherwise go without.

This partnership is one way to break down barriers to mental health support. It might not be right for you, and we encourage you to explore the best options for your own situation.

What if I don’t like my therapist?

BetterHelp allows you to switch therapists at any time, free of charge. It’s important to find someone who feels like the right fit, and they make the process easy to ensure you get the support you need.

Is this offer available in my country?

BetterHelp is accessible in most countries worldwide. However, there may be some regional restrictions depending on local laws or licensing. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out to BetterHelp for assistance.

What if I start online therapy and I don’t like it?
