Help Mercy afford 10 counseling sessions
After the loss of my brother, Mercy has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $2,500.

After the loss of my brother, Mercy 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 Wollongong Wellbeing Centre cost $65 each.
Mercy 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 Mercy could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Mercy, 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 $2,500 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $2,100
• Psychiatric assessment: $360
• Workbook and resources: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.
