About Us

Who We Are

The Healing Rooms CIC is a community based therapeutic organisation offering a range of culturally sensitive healing services to individuals, groups and communities. The Healing Rooms emerged from lived experience and a deep commitment to addressing the impact of inequalities, generational issues in all of its manifestations including grief, trauma, relationship issues as well as a range of conditions and presentations.
