Coaching v Therapy options

I am looking for some general pointers-not endorsement of any one option. I am not sure whether therapy or coaching is the right route for me. I have diagnoses of Asperger's and ADHD and I contacted a provider online and was told that I would be better seeking a neurodivergent consultant. The prices are astronomical. I am bothered by intruding and disabling rumination. My current episode has lasted seven months. It relates to an event many years ago when I was 'shamed' and the issue continues to hold me back. Any advice on what the best way forward would be? I have no support network and external constraints-poor public transport connections and lack of amenities makes it difficult for me to change my circumstances.

    I pay privately for psychotherapy, it's £45 per hour. I'm finding it helpful.

    I only started yesterday with a coach, I think I am entitled to 12 one hour sessions that I have to use up by March. My coach is autistic. This was a new experience for me actually talking to someone who is autistic. I have already been given some advice on how to deal with a difficult work situation.

    I am also having 6 online empower autism sessions that cover things like Assertiveness, boundaries and RSD.

    I think is you contact your local citizens advice they will give you the resources in your area. My coach and the online sessions are free.
