Overcome Avis 

My friend told me about this programme and giving it a try was one of the best decisions. I learnt many new techniques how to manage stress and anxiety and I got to practice and analyze them with my coach, which was an amazing thing to do. These sessions gave me an opportunity to be in control of my hightened emotions and overthinking. I feel more confident and safe in bad times. I’m very grateful for this opportunity and I’m really grateful for my coach Ines, she’s such a sweet person. Opening up to her was easy as she listened patiently. I could tell that she really cared about my well-being. Thank you Ines!

Ines at Overcome recently helped me deal with some difficulties I was experiencing with a career transition. Ines helped me put my finger on the unproductive thought patterns that were getting in the way; find tools that have been genuinely useful in changing those thought patterns; and brainstorm ways of consistently using those tools. The coaching was a very positive experience and I would recommend Ines without reservation.

I reached out to Overcome on a whim after googling them at a dangerously low point in my life. And the counsellor they put me with - Deanna - has been an absolute gem. Easily the best mental health professional I have worked with in all my time in the UK. She's extremely easy to talk to, to open up to, and to feel vulnerable with and she's gone above and beyond for me. I cannot recommend either her or Overcome highly enough. She's given me so much information that she's the first counsellor in all my life (and I have seen many) that I've actually taken notes with. Anyone who has her as their counsellor is in good hands and, based on their hiring of her, I feel the same could be said for anyone in the hands of any of Overcome's counsellor.

Since starting my sessions with Melany over 2 months ago I have received really great support to get my life back on track. I have learned techniques to self regulate and work through negative thoughts and feelings. I would highly recommend.

Bethany has made a real difference in my life. Working with her has helped me in such practical ways to address areas of concern in my life and problems at work.
Highly recommend.

I was full of anxiety and racing thoughts when I decided to go online and look for "free counselling" or "free mental health services" etc. When I saw Overcome for the first time I was hesitant. Was this a scam? Would they eventually ask for my cc details or somehow try to fleece me of some kind of amount making my mental health misery even worse? Thankfully none of these scenarios played out and I was assigned Dominic an extremely helpful and well trained counsellor. Dominic always listened to my concerns and was always meticulous with his notes making me feel listened and heard all the time. He was also very patient with me and never in the entire time did I feel like he was obligated to do this or felt shamed that I was not paying for anything. He provided great comfort and reassurance during one of the most challenging times of my life. And while life still isn't easy as it probably never will completely be, Dominic is always ready to help even in a small way to give me a little bit of reassurance and insight. This means a lot to me and I can fully assure anyone out there that Overcome is a wonderful organization that is ready to help you. Just be aware that in the end, difficult as it is, you will have to be the one to put in the work to heal and yes overcome your own challenges. They are just there to give some insight and hopefully point you in the right direction to healing.

I completed my clinical internship with Overcome and it was an amazing experience! Everyone is extremely supportive, and you learn so much in such a short amount of time! There are workshops and roleplays where you can practice your skills and assessments to check your knowledge. My confidence has grown greatly, and I have learned so much about what it takes to be a good therapist! This is a great opportunity for anyone who is looking for work experience or to build up therapy skills!

I highly recommend Sabina! From my first session, she made me feel welcomed and understood. She creates a safe space for open communication.

What stands out is the practical tools she shared to manage my thoughts and emotions. Each session offered strategies I could use daily, like mindfulness and stress management, which have truly helped me face challenges confidently.

Thanks to her guidance, my mental well-being has improved significantly. If you need a supportive and skilled psychologist, Sabina is the one to see.

Thank you, Sabina, for guiding me to a healthier, happier life!

I truly felt supported and heard in my sessions. The structure would always be based on my immediate needs. They are doing incredible work and the people are very kind and do the best that they can to support you. One big factor that contributed to a full rating was respect to my privacy. I have never once felt that my privacy was compromised at any point. I am truly grateful for Overcome's help.

I learnt about overcome from a Twitter comment section of someone seeking affordable therapy and I thought to myself why not?
One of the best decisions I've made in my adult life!
Let's begin with the fact that it's free!
When I started my sessions I wasn't sure what to expect and so just went in. I met my coach Vishala Baddi and the journey started. It's been a wonderful one!
My coach was always on time during all our sessions and I would like to appreciate that.

Most of the sessions felt like being gently nudged to something that I knew or wanted and that made everything almost easy.

There were 'assignments' that made the whole experience fun because I had to think about these things outside of therapy and 'inside' my life which was interesting. I especially liked these assignments because then therapy wasn't something I clocked into and out after 45 minutes. It enabled me to think about the techniques and actually apply them in my life which was good and helpful and I think quite important.

Overall I had an amazing and most importantly helpful experience! 10/10

I appreciate that the program has helped me gain clarity and grounding in myself. My coach was very attentive to detail and kept time. The techniques recommended to me also helped me to ground myself and rediscover myself. Keep up with the amazing work!

Have been chatting to Ben Paddon over the past few weeks and it’s the best thing I ever did. Such a lovely helpful individual. I would recommend him always. Just wanted to say thank you again for everything.

Training and working with Overcome has been an amazing, eye-opening experience, combining evidence-based knowledge with practical application and an opportunity to expand your clinical skills that feels rare to find. Offering free, worldwide mental health support, you get the chance to work with very diverse populations while being part of a very supportive community. A great opportunity for anyone looking to progress in the psychology field and an invaluable resource for people around the world looking for mental health support.

Overcome has been nothing but amazing! I have learned so much about the clinical world, and the team at Overcome has been so supportive and kind - not only do they care about my professional development, but also my personal development. It has been such a pleasure to be part of such organisation, contributing to a great cause of increasing access to psychological support.

I had a great experience. I was matched to a professional with knowledge handling my issues. They provided me with 6 free sessions.

Amazing experience. Becoming a mental health coach with Overcome has been such a great learning experience. It's a great way to use your skills, build new ones, and get hands on. The experience itself can be taken on for years to come.

The internship as a Mental Health Coach at Overcome is an amazing oportunity for you to learn new skills, expand your knowledge, and be part of an amazing team. The Overcome team is doing a wonderful job providing online coaching sessions for clients all over the world. They are really professional, always ready to help, and have high levels of empathy.

Great internship, I learned really great skills and built up my confidence!

My time with Overcome has been an incredible journey of growth and learning. From the very beginning, I was supported by an amazing team who were there for me at every step.

The variety of experiences and opportunities to take on different responsibilities have made each day both unique and rewarding. I feel deeply grateful to be part of Overcome's mission to provide free mental health support and make a positive impact. Their dedication to this cause is truly inspiring. I highly recommend Overcome to anyone looking to make a real difference.

I am deeply grateful for the transformative experience provided by this internship. When I signed up, my primary goal was to understand if this career path was the right fit for me. From the outset, my curiosity about mental health was answered, and my decision to pursue a career in this field was solidified. The program offered invaluable insights and practical experience.

The more I learned and practiced, the more I knew I had made the right decision. The supportive community and hands-on learning environment were exceptional. My cohort provided a safe space where everyone genuinely wanted the best for each other, fostering personal growth and empathy.

I wholeheartedly recommend this internship to anyone interested in mental health. It’s an invaluable opportunity to learn, grow, and make a positive impact.
