These are some of the things I find myself saying a lot in sessions.

Simple words, but they can land deeply when someone’s holding space for you.

Therapy isn’t about fixing or rushing. It’s about slowing down, being real and feeling safe enough to explore what’s going on - in your own time, in your own way.

If one of these lines stuck with you, that might be your sign 💛

A lot of people wonder if their struggles are “big enough” to come to therapy.

Here’s the truth:
You don’t need to be in crisis.
You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need a clear reason.

Therapy is for anyone who wants to feel more connected, grounded or understood.

It’s for the questions, the grey areas, the “I don’t know where to start.”

You’re allowed to take up space, even when things “don’t look that bad.”

At Time to Bloom Therapy, I offer a gentle space for whatever’s showing up; big, small, or in-between, you are welcome here.

Adult availability on Tuesday mornings in Trim, Co. Meath. Link in bio for enquiries. Adolescent and Child sessions are full - join wait list in link in bio.

🌸Sometimes words don't come easily and that's ok🌸
⠀
In therapy, we don’t always need to talk it out to work things through.
Sometimes emotions live in the body or stories show up through shapes, textures and colour. Healing can start by simply making a mark on a page.
⠀
In my practice, I offer the option to explore through:
🌼Mandalas
🌼Painting & drawing
🌼Collage
🌼Symbol work or objects
🌼Journalling or writing prompts
⠀
You don’t need to be “good” at art or have any experience whatsoever. This is about expression, not outcome. Think process over product.
⠀
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to begin, creative therapy can offer a new way in.
⠀
At Time to Bloom Therapy, I honour your pace. You’ll never be pushed into using art, but it’s there when words feel far away.
⠀
Have you ever felt something you couldn’t quite put into words? You're welcome here.

🌸Weekly Quotes Dump🌸
Anyone who knows me personally or professionally knows how obsessed I am with poems, song lyrics, quotes - anything to do with words put nicely.
I always save quotes, words or affirmations that resonate with me to my stories and in folders/notes on my phone for further processing. So I've decided to share some that hit this week. Sometimes it's related to my life, sometimes it is relevant to my client work (which always remains confidential) and other times I'm just intrigued by them.
1. A personal favourite - my therapist told me something that stuck with me - "you did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time" and I will always take that with me and gift it to my clients.
2. Live your life for you. Honour your own path, pace and process - Time to Bloom's tagline, which I'll probably make another post about soon🥰
3. Clients can struggle with setting boundaries with people in their life. Therapy can help by exploring your identity and values and staying true to your authentic self with others in your life.
4. Change blooms not from self-criticism or shame, but from the compassion we dare to offer ourselves.
5. Always, always, always honour the feeling. Action can help.
6. I absolutely love love 😍 Parents can lose themselves in parenthood. Children are watching and learning about what love should look like from you.
7. Grief and loss work is not just about death. It may be the loss of the life that could have been but wasn't e.g. a relationship that didn't work out, an opportunity you never got to experience, the loss of your healthy body after a medical diagnosis, the list goes on.
8. Love metaphors. Boundaries are healthy, not mean.
9. Love anything related to blooming, hence the name 😅
10. LOL, I used to be the mam who stressed about the playdoh mixing! Be a dare devil and join in on the mixing, it's great fun.
I love bringing words, music, affirmations and the likes into my work. It's all creative and I love when I read something and feeling like "wow I'm not alone" - and neither are you.
Can you relate to any of these?

🌸 Hi, I'm Sophie Kelly - the therapist behind Time to Bloom Therapy 🌸
I’m an integrative psychotherapist and art therapist based in Co. Meath, offering a warm, non-judgmental space for adults and young people to explore what’s going on beneath the surface.
🌱Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a primary school teacher and it was there I saw just how important emotional support is, especially for those going through difficult times. That passion led me to train in counselling and art therapy, and I’m now just finishing a Master’s in Creative Art Psychotherapy.
🌱I’m also a mam to one and that experience deepens my understanding of how layered, tender and complex life can be - especially when you're holding space for others while trying to care for yourself too.
🌱I believe therapy doesn’t look the same for everyone. Sometimes it’s talking things through and sometimes it’s using creativity when words feel out of reach. Either way, my approach is gentle, collaborative and grounded in trust.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or simply curious about therapy, you’re so welcome here.
🌱Time to Bloom honours your unique path, pace and process.
Let healing unfold in your own time 🌼
