Does This Sound Familiar?

Why Professional Support Matters

Most of us naturally turn to friends, family members or colleagues when life feels difficult.

Whilst these relationships can be incredibly valuable, they are not the same as professional support.

The people who care about us are often emotionally invested in the outcome. They may want to fix the problem, offer advice or share their own experiences.

A professionally held space offers something different.

The Relief Room™ provides:

✓ Confidential support

✓ Professional boundaries

✓ A non-judgemental space

✓ Skilled listening

✓ Compassion and perspective

✓ Space focused entirely on you

A place where you can be radically honest without worrying about upsetting somebody else.

What Happens In A Relief Room™ Session?

Every session begins with a simple question:

"What would be most helpful for you today?"

From there, we explore whatever is present for you.

This might include:

✓ Workplace stress

✓ Family challenges

✓ Relationship concerns

✓ Confidence issues

✓ Life transitions

✓ Overwhelm or burnout

✓ Difficult decisions

✓ Feeling stuck

Throughout the session you'll be offered:

✓ Professional listening

✓ Reflection and perspective

✓ Gentle challenge where appropriate

✓ Practical insights

✓ Space to slow down and breathe

Many clients leave feeling lighter, calmer and more able to move forward.

What Happens In A Session?

Arrive As You Are

No preparation is required. Simply bring whatever is on your mind.

Explore What Feels Heavy

Together we'll create space to untangle thoughts, worries and challenges.

Leave With Greater Perspective

Most clients leave feeling lighter, calmer and more able to move forward.

What Clients Often Tell Me

Whilst every person and situation is unique, clients often tell me they leave their session feeling:

✓ Lighter

✓ Calmer

✓ Less overwhelmed

✓ More grounded

✓ Better able to make decisions

✓ Clearer about their next steps

✓ More connected to themselves

✓ Less alone in what they're experiencing

✓ Better able to understand what is really going on beneath the surface

Many people arrive carrying weeks or even months of unspoken thoughts, worries and responsibilities.

Having a confidential, professional and non-judgemental space to talk things through can help create perspective, reduce mental load and provide a sense of relief when life feels particularly heavy.

Clients frequently describe leaving with a greater sense of calm, clarity and confidence in their ability to move forward.

Sometimes the greatest benefit isn't finding all the answers.

It's finally having the space to pause, breathe and feel heard.

What The Relief Room™ Is Not

The Relief Room™ is not:

✗ Trauma therapy

✗ Counselling

✗ Crisis intervention

✗ Deep trauma processing

For deeper therapeutic work, please explore my longer-term therapeutic coaching programmes. The Relief Room™ is designed to support life's everyday challenges before they become bigger problems.

Who The Relief Room™ Is For

The Relief Room™ may be right for you if:

✓ You're carrying stress, overwhelm or mental clutter

✓ You have a work situation you need to think through

✓ You're navigating a difficult relationship or friendship

✓ You're facing a decision and feel stuck

✓ You need a professional sounding board

✓ You want support before things reach crisis point

✓ You simply need space to pause, think and be heard

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Relief Room™ is ideal for people who:

    • Feel overwhelmed or mentally overloaded

    • Need support navigating a challenge or decision

    • Want a safe space to think out loud

    • Are experiencing workplace, family or relationship stress

    • Feel emotionally exhausted

    • Want professional support without committing to a longer programme

    If life feels heavy and you would benefit from being heard, supported and guided back towards clarity, The Relief Room™ may be exactly what you need.

  • Not at all.

    The Relief Room™ was specifically created for those moments when life feels challenging, overwhelming or emotionally heavy, but not necessarily because you're experiencing a major crisis.

    Many clients book because they're struggling with a difficult conversation, workplace stress, a relationship issue, decision fatigue, feelings of overwhelm, ongoing worry, or simply because something is taking up more mental and emotional energy than they'd like.

    You don't need a dramatic reason to seek support. Sometimes having a professional space to talk things through before they become bigger problems can make all the difference.

  • No.

    The Relief Room™ is a professionally held wellbeing support session designed to offer space, perspective, reflection and emotional support.

    It is not counselling, psychotherapy or trauma therapy.

    Whilst my work is trauma-informed, this service is intended for life's everyday challenges and is not designed for deep trauma processing or complex therapeutic work.

    If you are looking for longer-term transformational support or deeper therapeutic work, please explore my therapeutic coaching programmes available through My Relaxation Coach.

  • Every session begins with a simple question:

    "What would be most helpful for you today?"

    From there, we explore whatever feels most present and important for you.

    There is no set agenda and no expectation that you have everything worked out before we meet.

    You may want to discuss:

    • Workplace challenges

    • Relationship difficulties

    • Family dynamics

    • Stress and overwhelm

    • Confidence and self-belief

    • Life transitions

    • Difficult decisions

    • Feeling stuck or emotionally drained

    Together we create space to untangle thoughts, explore options and help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

  • That is completely normal. Many clients arrive simply knowing that something feels heavy, confusing or unresolved. You do not need a perfectly formed problem or a clear agenda. We will begin gently with where you are, and together we will explore what feels most important.

  • Yes.

    Many people find a single Relief Room™ session gives them the space and perspective they need.

    Others choose to return periodically when life feels particularly busy, stressful or demanding.

    Some clients use the service as an occasional wellbeing check-in, whilst others book more regularly for ongoing support.

    The choice is entirely yours. More frequent and or monthly memberships are available.

  • All Relief Room™ sessions take place online via Zoom.

    This allows you to access professional support from the comfort and privacy of your own home, office or any quiet space where you feel comfortable.

    Your Zoom link and joining instructions will be included in your booking confirmation email.

  • Yes.

    Creating a safe, respectful and confidential space is central to how I work.

    What you share during our session will be treated with professionalism, care and discretion.

    As with all professional wellbeing services, confidentiality may only be broken in exceptional circumstances where there are serious concerns regarding safety or legal obligations.

    If this ever became relevant, it would be discussed openly wherever possible.

  • The Relief Room™ is available as a 60-minute online session for £69.

    Sessions are booked and paid for in advance through the online booking system.

  • Friends, family and colleagues can offer wonderful support, but they are often emotionally invested in the outcome.

    A professional support session offers something different.

    The Relief Room™ provides:

    • A confidential space

    • Professional boundaries

    • Skilled listening

    • Compassion without judgement

    • Objective perspective

    • Space focused entirely on you

    Many clients find it incredibly freeing to speak openly without worrying about burdening someone they care about or managing another person's reaction.

Meet your Coach Ro

Ro Harstad (She/They)

Founder

For many years, I have supported people through life's challenges as a trauma-informed practitioner, therapeutic coach, hypnotherapist, yoga teacher and wellbeing professional.

Throughout my work, I began to notice something important. Many people didn't necessarily need a full therapeutic programme or deep trauma-focused support. What they needed was a safe, professional and non-judgemental space to pause, breathe and talk things through. A space where they could be heard without feeling judged.

A space where they could untangle difficult thoughts, navigate challenges and reconnect with their own wisdom. That's why I created The Relief Room™.

Whether you're carrying workplace stress, relationship difficulties, family challenges, overwhelm, difficult decisions or simply feeling emotionally stretched, The Relief Room™ offers a calm and confidential space to help you regain perspective and move forward with greater clarity.

My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ inclusive and grounded in the belief that everyone deserves support before things reach crisis point. You do not have to carry everything alone. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give ourselves is the space to stop, breathe and be heard.
