Help Fen afford 20 counseling sessions
Fen is working through military deployment and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇦🇺 Hobart, Tasmania, Australia2,586 views
After military deployment, Fen has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Hobart Wellbeing Centre cost $70 each.
Fen has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Fen could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Fen, and we're 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 $2,450 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $2,000
• Psychiatric assessment: $410
• Workbook and resources: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Hope you get there. Sent it to 6 people at work. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
sending strength, Yang. Looking forward to the next update. After 24 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Hobart.
