We live in a “now” culture...next-day delivery, instant replies, fast results.

We’re used to things happening quickly, and when they don’t, it can feel frustrating or even hopeless.

But counselling doesn’t work like that. Healing takes time. It’s not a straight line, there are ups, downs, and moments where it can feel like you’re going backwards. That’s completely normal. Real change grows quietly, through reflection, honesty, and patience.

It’s okay if it takes time to feel better. It’s okay if progress doesn’t look perfect. The important thing is that you keep showing up for yourself, because that’s where the real work, and the real healing, begins 💖

Ever wish you could just wash away all the thoughts? The overthinking, the worries that circle round and round, the noise that never seems to stop? You’re not alone, so many people feel this way.

Counselling can’t make life spotless or perfect, but it can help you make sense of the clutter in your mind. It’s a space to untangle what’s weighing you down, to breathe again, and to find a bit of calm amongst the chaos.

You don’t have to carry it all on your own. Reaching out for support isn’t a weakness, it’s the first gentle step towards feeling lighter 💖

Sometimes we push ourselves so hard that we forget we’re human.

You don’t have to break yourself to prove your worth. Your “best” isn’t about running on empty or ignoring your needs. It’s about doing what you can while still caring for your mind and body.

If you’ve been feeling burnt out, exhausted, or guilty for needing rest, please know this: you’re not failing. You’re simply human. Slowing down doesn’t mean giving up, it means choosing to value yourself, too.

Take a breath. Take a break. You deserve to feel well, not just get things done 💖

🕯️ Life After World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims 2025 🕯️

For every empty chair, we remember.

On Sunday 16th November at 6pm, join Life After for a short, heartfelt service on the Derry Wall, followed by a time of reflection at First Derry Church Hall, Magazine Street, BT48 6HA.

This day offers us all a chance to pause, remember, and honour those whose lives have been lost or forever changed by road traffic collisions. Together, we stand in support of families and communities bereaved - and renew our commitment to safer roads for everyone.

Families are warmly encouraged to bring a photograph of their loved one to include in our act of remembrance. 💙

Let us come together as a community - to remember, reflect, and raise awareness of the importance of road safety.

Counselling can help you find that light within yourself, even when things feel overwhelming. You have more strength than you think 💖

A gentle reminder that counselling can help you challenge those thoughts and rediscover your strength. You don’t have to face it alone💖

As we step into the last two months of 2025, take a gentle breath and remind yourself: it’s okay if things didn’t unfold exactly as you hoped. There’s still time for healing, for change, and for small moments of peace to find you.

Sometimes growth happens quietly, in ways we don’t notice right away. Trust that you’re still moving forward, even if it feels slow.

Be kind to yourself as the year closes, you deserve softness, patience, and hope.

How to Sit With Your Feelings

We often rush to fix or push away uncomfortable emotions, but sometimes, what we really need is to sit with them. Here’s how to do it gently (if it feels safe to do so):

1. Pause and notice.
Take a deep breath. Name what you’re feeling without judgement: “I feel sad”, “I feel anxious”, “I feel numb”.

2. Stay present.
Instead of analysing why you feel this way, focus on how it feels in your body. Notice where the feeling lives: your chest, your stomach, your shoulders?

3. Offer yourself kindness.
You don’t need to change the feeling right now. Try saying to yourself, “It’s okay to feel this.”

4. Give it time.
Feelings move through us like waves. The more we allow them, the less power they have to overwhelm us.

That’s emotional courage 💖
