Whether it is getting over a breakup, a loss, dealing with overwhelm, building your self-esteem or learning how to implement boundaries in your home, work or romantic life, therapy can be an invaluable resource, especially for single parents.

As a BetterHelp affiliate, we may receive compensation from BetterHelp if you purchase products or services through the links provided. By supporting our partners you can help to support the continued running of Frolo.

We are excited to announce that we’ve partnered with online therapy service BetterHelp to offer frolos an exclusive 25% discount off their first month of therapy.

Being a single parent can be tough. We’ve heard from countless frolos that therapy has helped to shift thought patterns and experiences and allow healing that has made enormously positive shifts in their lives, and therefore their children’s lives. But finding time and money for therapy can be twice as tough as a single parent. Which is why we’re thrilled to have partnered with BetterHelp to provide a 25% discount on the first month’s bill for any frolos who sign up using the offer.

You can sign up using our affiliate link at betterhelp.com/frolo where an automatic discount will be applied once you follow the sign-up steps.

Could Therapy Help?

A lot of single parents are aware that they could benefit from counselling, but they don't know where to start, or how to find the time. The first thing you should know is that making time for yourself as a single parent is absolutely essential. You cannot pour from an empty cup. But you cannot refill a cup that is leaking.

Therapy is about fixing the cup so that you can effectively look after yourself and your kids.

Rather than being about 'fixing' yourself, it's about exploring the roadblocks in your pathway to contentment, and accepting and overcoming your past. This can be incredibly helpful for single parents who entered single parenthood through an experience of trauma, including abuse, adultery, bereavement or rejection.

It can also help single and solo parents in all situations to come to terms with changes in their lives, issues experienced in parenting and day to day stresses and anxieties. As single parents we can often feel like we don't have someone we can be vulnerable with and explore these topics in a safe space. Therapy could be the answer for you, and investing in your own mental wellbeing is the best gift you can give yourself and your kids.

About BetterHelp

BetterHelp is the world’s largest online therapy service. Rather than having to travel to see your therapist, it’s a 100% online service, making it a convenient choice for when you are a single parent with a busy schedule and limited chances to get out of the house child-free.

There are more than 2.5million users across the world, and you can be matched with a therapist in less than 48 hours from sign-up.

Not only are weekly sessions possible by phone, video call or pre-scheduled online chat, you can also use in-app messaging to contact your therapist when you need them most, and you can cancel your subscription any time, which we know is extra important for single parents whose circumstances are subject to change.

There are so many elements of single parenting that could be made easier with the support of a therapist, and BetterHelp is one of the most trusted providers worldwide.
