Therapy fund for Guo: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of family counseling for Guo could change everything; the cost is $2,350.
🇦🇺 Australia1,335 views
After a house fire, Guo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Sydney Counselling Collective cost $90 each.
Guo has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Guo 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 Guo, 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 $2,350 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $2,000
• Psychiatric assessment: $300
• Workbook and resources: $50
With deep gratitude,
Xiu

hope it all works out, Xiu. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Xiu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Sydney.
Good luck. Wishing Guo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
sending good thoughts, Xiu. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Greetings from Regensburg.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Sydney
Thanks for sharing this, Xiu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Tampa
Thanks for sharing this, Xiu. Looking forward to the next update. All the best
