Help Brian afford 16 counseling sessions
Brian is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 16 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇦🇺 Victoria, Australia1,002 views
After the loss of my brother, Brian has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Melbourne Wellbeing Centre cost $115 each.
Brian has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Brian could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Brian, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,450
• Psychiatric assessment: $280
• Workbook and resources: $70
Thank you so much.

thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Melbourne.
Thinking of you and your family, James. Hope this works out for you
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Eugene but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Thane
