🌍 Today is World Mental Health Day — a reminder that your mental health matters every single day.
Whether you’re struggling quietly or finding your strength again, know that reaching out for support is a sign of courage, not weakness.

Take a moment to check in with yourself today 🌱
You don’t have to fix everything — just notice.
Awareness is the first step toward care.

Proud to be sponsoring Carrickfergus Grammar School U13 Rugby team this season! 🏉 Wishing the team the very best of luck – let’s go! 💪🏻🔥
Rugby isn’t just about the game – it’s a huge boost for mental health too. 🏉💪 From easing stress and building resilience, to creating strong friendships and boosting confidence, the sport strengthens both mind and body. Being part of a team gives purpose, belonging, and a safe space to grow on and off the pitch. 🌟

🚨 Nationwide Emergency Alert Test — Sunday 7th September, 3pm
The UK’s new emergency alert system will send a loud siren, message, and vibration to every compatible phone even on silent. Survivors of abuse with hidden phones could be put at risk if the device is discovered.
You can opt out in your phone’s settings to protect your safety:
✅ iPhone: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts
✅ Android: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts (and other threat categories if listed)

Hi everyone ☺️ It's Nichola here. Just wanted to share that there are still some places left on the cpcab level 2 courses starting in September. This is one of my favourite courses to teach, and I have to say I think everyone should do it. It's a great way of learning about yourself, some counselling skills and meeting lovely like minded people. Take a look! ❤️

Some extra training today. I have done some online training with Rosjke so couldn't wait to hear her talk in belfast today. Working from an attachment informed practice you need to consider the gender roles, and it's fascinating to be able to make sense of your experiences..was also great to see so many of my lovely colleagues and students. A Saturday spent with great women ❤️ Nichola xx

We are Nichola Burke and Frances Lindsay and we are ‘integrative counsellors’. What this means is that we have trained in several therapeutic approaches so that we can meet each individual clients needs. Between us we have over 10 years experience of training and practicing within a GP surgery settings and within the local communities providing both counselling and su***de intervention services.
We know how hard it can be to make that first step in asking for help. We are both very open about the fact that we individually became counsellor’s because at one time (and a few since then) we needed a counsellor ourselves. Sometimes we all need space to figure out how we feel about a certain situation or issue before we can talk to our loved ones about it, and we will always endeavour to create a safe and welcoming environment to help you in this process.
We firmly believe you have the answers within yourself, its just sometimes you don’t get the time or space to figure them out, and sometimes we all need someone who is on the outside looking in with a bit of perspective or just helping you join up the dots of your story.
Counselling is not about the counsellor giving advice, rather we like to assist our clients in finding their strengths and empowering them to find their answers because the only expert in your life is you. What we bring is knowledge and experience that will help you along the path, which is always led by you.
Please feel free to message me with any queries you may have about counselling, we look forward to hearing from you.
