Brooks's path to healing - family counseling in Liverpool
After a house fire, Brooks has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,650.

After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Liverpool Counselling Collective cost $70 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm grateful for your kindness without judgment.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,400
• Psychiatric assessment: $240
• Workbook and resources: $10
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going, Brooks. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Stay strong, Brooks. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours.
