Counselr: Therapy + Self-Care +12

I am so grateful for this app. The freedom to talk about whatever I want, whenever I want, and receive sound, non-judgmental, patient feedback is wonderful. Validation of my feelings accompanied with practical suggestions and advice is the thing I’ve been needing for years. I didn’t expect this app to be as good as it is. It truly feels like texting with a real person. Except better, because it has all the time I need at a price I can afford. Only one day after starting the free trial, I paid for the year subscription. And after using Counselr for only a few days, it has been worth it!

I used Counslr for a problem with my boss. I was delighted with how quickly the app provided suggestions. When I put in more information the advice became even more specific and useful. The best part is that by asking the question of Counslr and getting such immediate but objective advice I didn’t react emotionally in the moment and make the problem worse. I followed some of the advice given and things at work are better now

It is a convenient tool for unlimited chat support. What I don’t like is that every time you close the app in the background you have to sign in again with Google each time.

It is really annoying, so it would be nicer if the app kept you logged in. As for the AI chatbot itself, it is very problem solving focused. Any prompt you give it unless you specify differently, it will briefly summarize what you said and ask you guiding questions after guiding questions.

It could benefit from evening out the ratio of support/ asking questions . In the support category , Pi AI does a better job of breaking down a situation similar to a human.
