Mental health support for Lillian after the loss of my brother

After the loss of my brother, Lillian has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,500.

After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Leeds Counselling Collective cost $60 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 24 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 $1,500 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,150 • Psychiatric assessment: $290 • Workbook and resources: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Keep going, Lillian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Leeds.

          Hang in there, Lillian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 7 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Leeds.

          • Inés K. López

            good luck, Lillian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
