After graduating, 28 year old Health Coach, Haruka found herself in a toxic work environment. Due to her increasing anxiety levels, her partner suggested therapy. Haruka has now been using Wysa’s 1-1 human text-based coaching for over 2 years and has learnt ways to cope with her stress and anxiety, and built strength and resilience. Here is her story.
“I’ve been using the Wysa coach for about 2 years and 2 months now. I started talking to a coach on Wysa after I graduated from university. The company I joined turned out to be a very toxic workplace, and my anxiety got really bad. My partner suggested I get help, since therapy was really helpful for me during university (therapy sessions were free at my university).
I knew therapy would be expensive, so I didn’t think I could continue. However, I found out that Wysa coaches are really affordable, and I was able to continue getting help. I liked that I could book unlimited sessions whenever I wanted, depending on the coach’s schedule. It took some time to get used to message-based therapy, as I was used to in-person therapy. One thing I learned using Wysa is that it’s important to tell the coach what you like and what you don’t like. I felt that it could be sometimes hard to understand what the other person is thinking, so you can ask them not to use certain expressions or to use more emojis.
I received so much help from my coaches, Smriti and Mahima. After two years with Wysa, I became a more compassionate and resilient person. Many difficult things happened during the past two years, but each time, I grew stronger and learned ways to cope with stress and difficulties. I can’t appreciate Wysa coaches more and I recommend it to everyone looking for affordable therapy sessions.”
