Hi, without going into too much detail, it’s pretty obvious I need some counselling for the abuse I suffered by the hands of my ex.
Ive spent hours looking for counselling that is actually free!
I work part time (all I can do as my DD’s nursery only had two days available, no family close by to help) so don’t earn a lot, especially when you take childcare out of it!
OH earns quite a bit, but this means that I’m not eligible for any financial help to get counselling/benefits. They either want £45 a week or £65/75 a week. Despite my DP earning a nice wage I can assure you we don’t have £4.50 left a week, let alone £45! (We don’t smoke or drink, can’t even afford to go on a uk holiday this year, don’t have the latest phone, no sky packages, cars on their last legs, no takeaways. So certainly not living a luxury lifestyle)
my question is- are there any counselling services out there that are actually free? Without going to the doctors and being put on a waiting list for years.
I appreciate there’s some services that you can text 24/7, but they seem to be for people who are in a crisis situation. Don’t feel I need that, just someone professional to talk to on a weekly basis. I’m in the York area if that helps. Thank you ☺️
