<h3>A Channel 4 Documentary.</h3>
<p>With demand for NHS counselling increasing, Jackie Adedeji investigates BetterHelp, an online therapy platform offering counselling services in the UK. Do the services they claim to provide match up with reality?</p>
<p>This is a 30 minute program investigating how some clients are let down by their BetterHelp-referred therapist, and the position BetterHelp takes when complaints are raised.</p>
