January seems to last forever but we are very nearly at the end of this seemingly never-ending dark, cold, wet month.

I just wanted to show you this list of animals that hibernate (or go into a torpor) because I need you to know the simple fact that rest is biological - some nervous systems survive by slowing down.

Rest isn’t quitting. It’s regulation.

I struggled today, as I know many of us did.

Some days the world just feels… broken.
Everything feels too heavy, too loud and too hurtful right now.

At the moment it feels like bad news stacks on bad news whilst everyone seems exhausted, braced and holding their breath.

If you’re finding it harder to concentrate, harder to sleep, harder to feel hopeful - you are not alone.

We are all responding to a world that keeps asking us to stay alert, outraged, productive and compassionate all at once.

In these hard times, please remember that you are not alone.

Apparently yesterday was the most depressing day of the year.
Is the science solid? Nope.
Does it feel real? Yep.
I wrote a blog about it - https://www.jessrosetherapy.co.uk/post/january-is-hard-this-month-can-be-a-bit-of-a-dick

Post Christmas and in the middle of winter with way too many expectations. It’s cold. It’s dark. Your bank balance is non-existent.
If today feels heavy, flat, or like you’re one minor inconvenience away from actual hibernation then you are having a very normal human January.
Feeling low in January doesn’t mean you’re failing, broken, or “doing life wrong”.
You are not broken. You are wintered.

If you’re sick of carrying everything alone, therapy is a place to come and say “actually… I’m not fine” without having to mask, pull yourself together or fix it immediately.

I’m here if you want me.

You don’t need goals, a word of the year, or a perfectly curated plan to be doing life 'right'. Sometimes the most honest thing you can do in January is admit that you’re tired and meet yourself there with a bit more gentleness.

Some days you’ve got your life together and some days your nervous system thinks a text mesage is an attack on your life.

Brains are weird.
Life is hard.

Therapy isn’t about fixing you or turning you into a calm, enlightened being who never panics or overthinks. It’s a space where you can say “I’m not coping and I’m sick of pretending I am” without anyone telling you to try going for a run or eat a kale smoothie.

If everything feels like too much right now then come talk it out.

No bu****it.
No judgement.
Just somewhere to put the s**t down for a while.

Some days you hold it together.
Some days you don’t.
Both are human and both are totally ok.

Therapy isn’t about having the right words or knowing what you need. It’s just a warm, safe space to show up exactly as you are.

If you’ve been telling yourself “I should be coping better” this is your reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.

I know showing up isn’t always easy.
Especially when you’re tired, overwhelmed, or carrying more than you let on.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you - you are not broken.
It is about having a space where you don’t have to perform, hold it all together, explain yourself, or be 'fine'.
If you’re feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or just ready for things to feel a bit lighter, you don’t have to do that alone.
Jess Rose Therapy is a compassionate space to pause, breathe, and start from wherever you are. Please get in touch.

Hi, I’m Jess, the therapist behind Jess Rose Therapy.

To be completely honest, I absolutely hate self-promotion and marketing. But showing up matters - especially if you’re thinking about trusting me with the important stuff - so here I am.

Outside of my work, I love reading with a mug of hot chocolate, saying hello to every cat or dog I pass, re-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and listening to Taylor Swift.
I value connection, warmth, and showing up as a real person - and that’s the same way I approach therapy: gently, honestly, and at your pace.
I work with people who are exhausted from holding it all together, overthinking everything, or feeling like they should be coping better than they are. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you - you’re not broken. It’s about having a space where you don’t need to perform, slowing things down, and making sense of what’s going on underneath.

I particularly enjoy working with clients who are ADHD, autistic, and/or LGBTQIA+. Thoughtful, curious, perceptive, courageous - all the good stuff. Zero small talk. Maximum honesty.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling, you don’t have to do it alone.

Wecome to 2026.
Just a few gentle reminders for us all.

“The most wonderful time of the year”… or just the loudest?

If Christmas feels heavy, awkward, lonely, or emotionally exhausting you’re not broken.
Joy isn’t compulsory. Cheer isn’t a personality trait.
Struggling in December doesn’t mean you’re failing.

I’ve written a short blog about why Christmas can be hard and how to stop beating yourself up for it.
