After bullying at school, 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 a private practice in Birmingham cost $80 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 $1,000 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $830 • Psychiatric assessment: $160 • Workbook and resources: $10 Thank you for reading my story. - Lucy

Updates from Lucy

  1. Quick update: $424 raised so far (42%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Birmingham: I made the first payment toward 24 therapy sessions. We're at 34% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($75 in total) I made the first payment toward workbook and resources. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Take care, Lucy. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
