What are Confidential Chats?

One-to-one conversational support for people who need a sounding board. We can sit or go for a walk — at a café, in the park or along the beach. I offer three ways of working:

Just Listen. How do you feel when someone really listens to you? I listen without interruption or judgement. I just pay attention and acknowledge your situation. 

Reflective Listening. When you’ve finished talking, I will reflect back on what I’ve heard. With your consent, I can then ask questions to help you gain clarity of your options and look for a way forward.

Listening with Suggestions. After reflecting back on what I’ve heard, I then offer suggestions for next steps which you may agree with or discard.

All you need to bring is your current challenge or set of questions and an open mind.
