London
After burnout at work, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at London Wellbeing Centre cost $60 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 10 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 $2,500 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $2,250 • Psychiatric assessment: $195 • Workbook and resources: $55 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      Hope it all works out, Valentina. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

        Sending love, Valentina. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of London!
