Help Zoe afford 24 counseling sessions

After a house fire, Zoe has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $2,000.

After a house fire, Zoe has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Townsville Counselling Collective cost $120 each. Zoe 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 Zoe could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Zoe, 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 $2,000 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,700 • Psychiatric assessment: $280 • Workbook and resources: $20 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Madelyn
