After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Newcastle upon Tyne Counselling Collective cost $85 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 16 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $1,050
• Psychiatric assessment: $210
• Workbook and resources: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you and your family, Serenity. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace, Serenity. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Thane.
Good luck, Serenity. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Ottawa so I could bring a meal. Love from Swansea.
Thinking of you and your family, Serenity. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 8 people at work.
