Loneliness Awareness Week (15th - 21st June) is a reminder that connection really matters.

Loneliness is a normal human emotion and it can affect anyone. Small moments of contact can make a difference.

We see every day how important the therapeutic relationship is in counselling, being able to trust and feel understood is often where things start to shift.

Reports and videos of violence can leave us feeling shocked, scared or overwhelmed. Seeing this kind of content on social media can have a real impact on how we feel.

It’s okay to protect your thoughts

- Mute or unfollow accounts that are upsetting you
- Turn off notifications
- Take a break from scrolling or the news

If something you’ve seen online is affecting you, you don’t have to cope with it on your own.

Lighthouse, a mental health and su***de prevention charity in Belfast, is here to support anyone who is struggling. Please reach out to us through our usual contact channels.

If you are in emotional distress or despair and need to speak to someone immediately, you can call:

Hi everyone,

I’ve had a few new followers recently so I thought this would be a good chance to reintroduce myself for anyone who doesn’t know me. My name is Brenda Mc Elroy, I’m an accredited counsellor with over 20 years of experience working with young people. I use an integrative approach in my work, so therapy is tailored to meet the needs of my clients. I also offer workshops promoting positive wellbeing in schools and community settings. I absolutely love what I do and I’m so passionate about promoting positive mental health.

I do a lot of work in schools and colleges so, as the summer break approaches, I have more availability for counselling support in my own private practice in Ballygawley, County Tyrone. If you feel you would benefit from counselling, or would just like to know more, please get in touch for a chat.

Please share this post to help me spread the word.
Thank you!

Perhaps you’re taking action this by speaking to a counsellor for the first time 🤍

That step can feel big, unfamiliar, or even overwhelming – so here are some questions you can save for later, ask in a first session, or share with someone else who might be thinking about getting support too.

Because feeling informed and supported can make reaching out feel a little less daunting.

What does New View Well-Being and The Devil Wears Prada 2 have in common??? 🤔

Answer - EFT, or tapping.

In The Devil Wears Prada 2, you may have noticed Emily using a tapping technique to manage her stress. This tool is known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), a therapeutic tool that is proven to help reduce stress, anxiety and emotional distress by tapping on meridian points on the face and body to shift a negative flow of energy. It's pretty amazing!

I'm delighted to share that I have recently achieved the Level 2 Practitioner training in EFT after completing training and assessment through Key2Empowerment, and will be offering EFT, either within therapy or as a stand alone technique.

If you would like to be like Emily and give it a go please get in touch.
Please help me spread the word by giving this post a like, comment or share, I really appreciate it 🫶

Interested in finding out more about EFT or tapping and its many benefits?

Have a read through the attached information and if you would like to be like Emily and give it a go please get in touch 🫶

One of our favourite parts of Devil Wears Prada 2? Emily finally learning to deal with her stress. Gone are the positive affirmations and in their place: EFT tapping. But does it actually work? Turns out, it can. We spoke to the experts to find out how it works and its benefits:https://marieclaireuk.visitlink.me/0BhWzq

Not all counsellors are created equal – and choosing the right one matters more than you think.

The right counsellor will not only have the right qualifications, but will also create a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. Therapy should feel collaborative, ethical, and grounded in respect – not rushed, pressured, or one-sided.

If you are considering counselling, save this checklist and use it as a guide. You deserve support that feels safe, empowering, and aligned with your needs. 💓
