Title: Starting therapy
Post by: rielly89 on January 07, 2019, 12:15:36 AM
Hello everyone,

This is my first time here :) So I'll be going to see a GP soon (I live in Perth, Western Australia) for a referral to a therapist to begin my transition.
This part concerns me as money is really scarce for me at the moment, I'm happy to go through the process and talk with a therapist but I'm worried just how many sessions it will end up being.

So I'm wondering what some of your experiences have been? How many sessions did you have to do before you were able to start HRT?

Thanks in advance  :)
