Just that really .
I have had to work in a v stressful environment 60 hours a week through Covid and driving many hours to work so I know I'm exhausted and blowing things a little out of proportion .
On top of that I have had to move in hastily with Dp and my children which has gone ok considering he has depression and is trying also to work full time .
I haven't been able to do any school work with my daughter so am obv feeling guilty .
I however have always been the strong one and I know when I'm not coping to well .
It's coming out in strange ways though ... I'm overthinking and becoming obsessive amongst other things .
I'd quite like some online counselling but the ones I have looked at are really expensive .
TIA

what kind of budget do you have? the one below is 60 euros a session, so £53 approx (per 1hr video call session)
www.counsellingonline.ie/faqs
this website also offers video councelling, 50 euros per 50 minute session, so £44 approx for a 50 min session
www.myclinic.ie/counselling#

both are based in ireland (hence the price being in euros) but will work with people all over the world.
All the best x

What do you consider affordable?

I'm not sure what line of work you're in but most employers provide a free helpline (maybe like a basic counselling service) I think it used to be called carecall

Might depend what NHS area you are in, but many areas offer 6 free online CBT sessions through a company called IESO. I did this and it was really good. (But six is your lot. I tried to sign up again five years later and got a message that I was 'done'. Hmm)

Contact your local IAPT service. Many NHS therapy services have switched to online sessions so you won't have to pay for these. Are you in London?
