After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Leeds Counselling Collective cost $100 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 20 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. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $1,900 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,550 • Psychiatric assessment: $310 • Workbook and resources: $40 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Nolan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($856 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Leeds: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Nolan
