A SPACE TO TALK WITHOUT BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO
Private, confidential listening sessions for adults.
No analysis. No judgement. No advice. Just space to say what’s on your mind.
YOU DON’T ALWAYS NEED AN ANSWER
A conversation where you don’t have to explain, defend or justify how you feel.
Most conversations come with expectations. Someone offers advice. Someone tells you what they would do. Someone tries to reassure you before you’ve even finished explaining – or perhaps you’re worried about burdening the people closest to you.
This service is different. You have dedicated time where the focus is simply on giving you space to speak and feel genuinely heard. There is no pressure to reach a conclusion, no expectation that you leave with an action plan.
You talk. I listen.
SUPPORT WITHOUT THERAPY
A calm, confidential space for the conversations you may not know where else to have.
You can bring something specific, several things at once, or simply start with whatever is on your mind. You don’t need to know exactly what you need to say. This is your time to talk openly, without having to explain, defend or justify how you feel.
I won’t diagnose you, analyse you or tell you what decisions to make.
ABOUT ME
For years, I noticed that people naturally opened up during conversations with me. They talked about relationships, family, work, worries and situations they didn’t always feel comfortable discussing elsewhere.
Those conversations eventually led to the idea behind This Is Not Therapy – providing people with dedicated time to simply be listened to.
I have completed a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and have volunteered as an NHS Telephone Befriender, experiences which have strengthened my listening and communication skills.
KIND WORDS
A few words from people who have found a little more room to speak.
