After the death of both parents, Niamh has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Kilkenny Wellbeing Centre cost $95 each. Niamh 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 Niamh could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Niamh, 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 $2,600 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $2,450 • Psychiatric assessment: $135 • Workbook and resources: $15 Glad we found this place. - Eimear

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Niamh.

      It's all in the list in the story. 20 therapy sessions is the big one at $2,450, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Hope things get better soon, Eimear. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.

    • Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.

        Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.

        • Hope things get better soon, Eimear. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Quezon City.

          • Wishing you peace. Get well soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Hubballi!
