As a trained, accredited and experienced career and life coach, mediator, counselling skills user and telephone helpline specialist, the “Listening Service” offers and provides anyone in need of emotional and many other forms of support, with a confidential, non-judgmental ear, where you are safe to talk about whatever you want - whether it’s a big or small issue, personal or work related and you just need someone to talk to, I am here to listen, to walk alongside and to support you.
You could be going through something new or have been struggling with it for some time, experiencing difficult feelings and need to talk to someone quickly, including if you're not ready or able to access other types of support.
I will simply let you talk through your feelings and experiences without judging or making decisions for you, but support with any decisions you may want to make yourself as you are the expert on your own life and may just need to talk it through. Either way, I am here when the feeling of needing that extra support may come along.
If in addition you wanted support with Mental Health, Wellbeing & Mindfulness and other related matters or advice, literature and signposting, I am there to offer support, coaching, options and may be able to give you contact details for organisations that specialise in helping with specific problems and situations.
People contact me with all sorts of concerns, worries and issues, some want to just talk it through in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment, either on the phone or face to face (in person and/or virtually), others want to do the same and in addition, be coached and supported through whatever it may be that they’re going through or concerned with.
Some of the common reasons people contact me are:
- Health and Wellbeing
- Mindfulness - Sessions or teaching the techniques
- Depression - Discussion and support
- Anxiety - Discussion, support and learning ways to manage it
- Thoughts of suicide - Discussion and support
- Financial worries - Discussion, solutions and signposting to support functions
- Work/Job related stress - Discussion and how to manage, learn techniques
- College or study-related stress - Discussion and how to manage, learn techniques

If what’s troubling or getting you down isn’t on this list, please still do feel free to get in touch as I am able to support with many other situations and feelings that you may well be going through.
