LM Counselling Omagh

I’m a fully qualified counsellor offering a safe, supportive space for adults to explore life’s challenges.

Working face-to-face in Omagh and surrounding areas, as well as online, I provide care, understanding, and support tailored to your needs.

Healing isn’t aesthetically pleasing.
It’s not all calm mornings and curated routines. It’s heavy, confronting and uncomfortable. It’s setting boundaries, feeling the emotions you’ve avoided and facing patterns that need to change.
It isn’t linear, and it rarely feels graceful. But it is worth it.
You deserve support that goes deeper than surface level coping. A counsellor who can sit with you through every stage of the process can make all the difference.

Healing is not a destination you arrive at and tick off a list. It is not a finish line where everything suddenly feels perfect and stays that way.
So many people come to counselling thinking they should reach a point where they are completely healed and never struggle again. Then when old feelings resurface or a difficult season arrives, the thought creeps in, I will never be okay again.
But healing is not a straight line. It moves in cycles. We revisit parts of ourselves at deeper levels. What once felt overwhelming may return, but this time you meet it with more awareness, more compassion, more strength.
Counselling is not about becoming a flawless version of yourself. It is about building a different relationship with your thoughts, emotions and experiences. It is about learning that growth continues throughout your life.
You are not going backwards. You are spiralling upwards. Each time you return to something, you do so with new insight and capacity.
Healing is not a destination. It is a lifelong unfolding. And you are allowed to grow, change and heal again and again.💖

I recently heard about the “Rubber Ball and Glass Ball” theory and it really changed how I see my priorities.

Life is like juggling a bunch of balls every day — work, house, friends, commitments, and family. The idea is that some of those balls are rubber, and some are glass.

The rubber ones can drop. You can miss a workout, answer an email later, reschedule plans, or have a messy house for a day. They’ll bounce back.

But the glass ones?
Those are the moments that don’t come back the same.
Time with your kids. Time with your partner. The little everyday memories that quietly become the big ones.

I’m learning that it’s okay if the rubber balls fall sometimes.
Because protecting the glass ones is what really matters.

Grounding Exercise:

Slow your scroll and ground yourself in the present by searching for any of the following:

- The initial of the person you love

- Something you’d give as a gift

- A pencil and 2 paintbrushes

- Heart-shaped locks (and keys!)

- A broken or cracked heart

- All of the conversation hearts

- Something you’d wear in winter

- Flowers that are pink or red

- All 4 of the four-leaf clovers

- The words “I love you”

- Something delicious to eat

- All the lips and lipsticks

- A heart-shaped musical note

- The words “I love me”

In looking for these, you’re using one of your five senses to connect with the present moment. You can do this anywhere by looking around you for a specific color or shape, or come back here anytime and choose an another option from the list to guide yourself back to the moment!.

Two things can be true at the same time
You can be doing your best and still get things wrong.
You can be capable and still need help.
You can like control and still feel lost when life changes.
In counselling, we make room for both sides. Not either, or, but both.
Because being human is not about getting it perfect. It is about learning to hold compassion for yourself in the messy middle.
You do not have to have it all together to deserve support.
Sometimes healing begins when you let yourself say, this is hard and I do not have to face it alone.

What if the way you scroll is shaping the way you feel

So much online life asks us to rush, compare and keep up. It is easy to feel quietly drained without even noticing.

Bloomscrolling is choosing something gentler. Content that feels hopeful, meaningful and nourishing.

In counselling, we slow things down and make space to notice what you really need. Less noise. More care. More connection.

You do not have to change everything. Sometimes you just need room to breathe 💖

You do not always need to rebuild your whole life to feel better.
Sometimes you just need space to breathe.
In counselling, we often discover that change does not come from pushing harder or fixing everything at once. It comes from slowing down, noticing what hurts, understanding what matters, and being kinder to yourself.
Growth can be quiet. Healing can be gentle. Small shifts can change everything.
If life feels overwhelming, you do not have to face it alone. Talking things through can help you enjoy the life you already have, not chase a completely new one.
Ready to slow down and start listening to yourself.
Counselling is here when you are ready 💖

We are not perfect. We make mistakes and sometimes get things wrong. That is part of being human.
Counselling offers a gentle space to reflect, learn and grow, without judgement. You do not have to have it all figured out to begin 💖

Storms can feel overwhelming, yet they often reveal strengths you did not know you had.

In counselling we create a steady, supportive space to weather those waves together, helping you rise again with resilience and self trust.

06/02/2026

You do not always have to push forward. Sometimes you just need space to pause, breathe and simply be.
In counselling we slow things down, gently, safely, so you can catch your breath and notice what has been missed while rushing through life. Healing often begins in the quiet moments. 💖

If parenting feels hard, that is because it is.
We are raising children in a world of constant advice, endless opinions and information that never switches off. It is overwhelming for anyone.
You are not failing. You are navigating more than any generation before you.
Be gentle with yourself. You are doing enough.

If you are finding parenting hard right now, it is not because you are failing. It is because parenting today really is harder.

A generation ago most parents relied on family, health visitors and a handful of books or magazines. Information was slower but simpler and usually filtered.

Today almost every household has internet access, which means advice is constant, immediate, endless but often conflicting.

We are expected to sift through thousands of differing opinions, conflicting articles, 'expert' reels and guilt-inducing forums while also somehow trusting our own instincts.

Research shows many parents feel overwhelmed by the volume and poor quality of parenting advice on social media, making it harder to know what is reliable

At the same time we are leaning on online communities for support, something previous generations simply did not have as the physical presence of a village was there for many.

So if you feel overloaded, second guessing yourself or exhausted by the mental load, that makes sense.

You are not weak. You are parenting in the most information saturated and pressured generation we have ever seen.

Be gentle with yourself. You are doing your best in a world that never switches off.
