Therapy sessions for my troubled 15 year old

Hi, my name is Stanze. I am the mum of my 15 year old Alice who has been through so much for the last 4 years.

We moved to a completely different part of the country in June 2020 after the breakdown of my relationship with her dad.

Alice used to be such a lovely and kind girl who would always have a smile and be happy.

This changed dramatically in 2020 when we moved and everything went downhill.Alice would be more and more withdrawn and started drinking and smoking and I tried everything in my power to keep her safe!

I tried to get Councelling sessions for her in 2021 but the waiting list on the NHS was 3 to 4 years then, and we are still waiting.

She now has an eating disorder, depression and social anxiety and she has had so much trouble with her mental health and our lives have been pretty miserable since then.

I am a hard working single mum and have tried everything to get help from the NHS and all other channels. We had so many doors closed on us and finally we got the break we needed so much a few months ago.

Alice got accepted by a private therapist who is amazing and the sessions really help Alice.

We had some funding from the council but only for 6 sessions and after that we have to pay £45 for one session, which I really can’t afford. It breaks my heart to see my girl in so much pain, I don’t know what else to do. A friend told me about the gofundme page and this is my attempt to raise some money, so my only child can go and have some more therapy sessions, so that she can move on with her life and have the happiness she deserves.

Please ask me anything. I am happy to share our whole story.

We hope that there are some kind people out there who see this and help me to get my only child whole again, every day is such a struggle and we just need a break.

Thank you for reading this.
