Mental health support for Naomi after a violent robbery
After a violent robbery, Naomi has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,700.

After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Newcastle upon Tyne 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 20 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 $1,700 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,500
• Psychiatric assessment: $170
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Naomi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Newcastle upon Tyne!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 20 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Naomi.
Sure. The biggest one is 20 therapy sessions, $1,500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. Love from Faisalabad.
Sending love, Naomi. Wishing Naomi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
