🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,753 views
After a house fire, Sharon has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Edinburgh Counselling Collective cost $95 each. Sharon 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 Sharon 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 Sharon, 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 $1,105 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $940 • Psychiatric assessment: $160 • Workbook and resources: $5 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
