One of the most helpful things I’ve learned with negative self-talk is this: You don’t have to accept everything your inner voice says at face value.
Sometimes you've got to teach it some manners instead of letting it run rampant.

As we step into a new year, we want to warmly welcome you — whether you’re already part of our counselling practice or simply finding your way here.

The year just gone may have brought challenges, loss, change, or quiet moments of learning about yourself to your life. The new year doesn’t ask you to start over — it simply invites you to carry forward what you’ve learned, at your own pace, with kindness and compassion.

At The Therapy Rooms , we hold a hope for those who are hurting to find healing, for the sad to find moments of hope, and for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed to feel less alone. However you’re feeling right now — hopeful, uncertain, tired, or curious — you’re very welcome here.

If you’ve been thinking about counselling, or feel ready to talk things through, please get in touch .

Wishing you a gentle, supportive year ahead ✨

A Christmas Thank You to our past, paused and current clients.

On our last day of work in 2025 and as the year comes to an end, we just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for trusting us, for showing up, and for doing the often-hard work of reflecting, talking, and taking care of yourself.

We know that Christmas can feel very different for different people. For some, it brings warmth and connection; for others, it can be a difficult or lonely time, or simply one that brings mixed feelings. However this season feels for you, it’s okay — there’s no right way to experience it.

We want to acknowledge the courage it takes to come to counselling, especially during a busy or emotionally loaded time of year. Even small steps matter, and we notice the effort you make.

As we head into the holiday period and look towards a new year, we hope you’re able to be kind to yourself and take things at your own pace. That might mean resting, keeping routines, staying connected, or simply getting through the days — all of that counts.

Thank you again for allowing us to support you. We’re really glad to walk alongside you, and we look forward to continuing our work together in the year ahead.

Take care and warm wishes for hope, peace and joy,

Michelle and all The Therapy Rooms

“I’ve always felt I had to do things because they were expected of me, or more important, to make people like me. The hell with it! I think from now on I’m going to just be me—rich or poor, good or bad, rational or irrational, logical or illogical, famous or infamous.”

Anyone should be able to access therapy when they need it.

But right now, that’s not the reality for too many people. Waiting lists are growing, services are underfunded, there are still barriers to access. Despite promises, mental health is still being left behind.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re calling on the Government to make mental health a priority with proper investment for services that meet people’s needs.

The focus of World Su***de Prevention Day is the theme of ‘Creating Hope Through Action”. It is attempting to highlight the power of small acts of kindness, open conversations, and timely support in su***de prevention.

Let’s make this for more than one day …. The Therapy Rooms’ mantra is ‘People really do matter’ - let’s make the time for each other, be kind to each other, especially in times of crisis.

If you need professional support please call us on 07961 218256.

Please also remember about Northern Ireland’s lifeline service- it’s YOUR lifeline service. The line is open 24/7 and your call is answered by trained counsellors. If you feel at risk of su***de please have an open conversation with one of them - there number is 0808 808 8000.
