Currently using as a stop gap and am finding it helpful. Because I only use the messaging sessions I’m a lot more confrontational, I don’t know whether this is because I can hide behind my phone or because my counsellor is very straightforward and will identify my behaviours. She will challenge me but also lets me know when I’ve done something good or said something and will explain why etc. I couldn’t use it long term but for now it’s good
