I think you should contact her at her private business address, otherwise you run into the same potential conflict of interest scenario that has been mentioned in this thread--maybe she can't respond to you because at her position at the charity, she is not allowed to take clients from there into her private practice. I think a call or letter or email to her private business address would be very appropriate. It's not your fault her private business address is the same as her home address. That was her choice and she gets other business correspondence and calls there, so yours would fit right in. Since you've already sent one letter, a follow-up phone call be quite appropriate. Yes, it could end up that she says "no" to you, but she will probably explain why, and then at least, your mind would be at rest. Plus, she might say "yes"! You care so much about her and your therapy--don't you think it's worth asking her?

Good luck with this!
