Pooja's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Birmingham
Pooja is working through bullying at school and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,539 views
After bullying at school, Pooja has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Birmingham Counselling Collective cost $55 each.
Pooja 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 Pooja could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Pooja, and we're 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 $2,100 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,650
• Psychiatric assessment: $390
• Workbook and resources: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Nakuru
So sorry you're going through this, Diya. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings.
Hang in there, Diya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Birmingham.
