Can I Help You? The Story of the "Unheard"
Welcome to The Good Listener. I seem to have found a niche, where I have had many clients who fit into four 'types'. If this feels like you, get in touch. If it doesn't but you want to improve your communication skills, get in touch anyway and lets have a free 15 min exploratory chat to see if we are a fit.
-
The "Too Much" Mind (ADD/ADHD) You feel like a high-performance computer with 50 tabs open at once. In conversations, you’re either three steps ahead or struggling to filter the "noise" of your own thoughts. You’ve been told you’re "too much," "too fast," or "not paying attention," when really, you’re just trying to find the right words to anchor yourself. You need a place where the pace is set by you, not the clock.
-
The Daughter Finding Her Voice You grew up in a home where your role was to reflect someone else’s light, never to shine your own. Having a narcissistic mother meant learning to walk on eggshells before you could even run. Now, as an adult, you find yourself "people-pleasing" or feeling a phantom guilt whenever you set a boundary. You’re looking for a space that is finally—finally—about your reality, not hers.
-
The Loop-De-Loop Relationship Whether it’s across the dinner table or across the boardroom desk, you feel stuck in a script you didn't write. You say "A," they hear "B," and suddenly you’re in the same argument you’ve had a hundred times. You’re brilliant at what you do, but "getting through" to people feels like a riddle you can’t solve. You don't need a lecture; you need a strategist to help you rewrite the dialogue.
-
The Professional Mask You’re successful, but the mental "pre-game" and "post-game" of every meeting is exhausting. You over-explain to avoid being misunderstood, or you stay quiet to avoid being "found out." You want to communicate with a clarity that matches your capability, without the crushing weight of social anxiety or imposter syndrome.
What I Offer
I offer the practical tools and guidance necessary to master the art of meaningful interaction and create stronger relationships. This is about changing your daily experience.
1. Become a Better Communicator
Learn how to articulate your needs clearly, set healthy boundaries, and ensure your message is truly heard, transforming conflict into productive conversation.
2. Deeper Understanding of Those Around You
Gain clarity on the motivations and behaviors of your partner, family, friends, and colleagues. You'll stop reacting to surface-level behavior and start responding to underlying needs, turning frustration into empathy and effective strategy.
3. Improved and Meaningful Interactions
Stop repeating the same damaging relationship patterns. I'll help you change your input so that you consistently get a different, more positive and satisfying output in every significant interaction.
About Me
Are you tired of repeating the same relationship cycles? Do you find yourself feeling misunderstood or walking away from conversations frustrated?
I understand that feeling deeply.
At 50, my life has been a relentless education in human connection. I am transparent about having navigated two failed marriages, and through those journeys, I experienced first-hand the pain and failure caused by profound communication breakdowns. This wasn't just heartbreak; it was a repeated, hard-earned lesson in what doesn't work.
My personal transformation, moving from a struggling communicator to a successful one, was deliberate and successful. I have worked in sales and marketing for 30 years, which requires effective thought-out communication. Thankfully I am married again and using the skills I have learnt to ensure a long lasting partnership.
This lived experience is fortified by intensive professional training. I have invested heavily in my understanding of human interaction, including three years dedicated to becoming a Transactional Analyst Therapeutic Counsellor*. This background provides me with a deep, specialised understanding of relationship dynamics and effective communication frameworks.
Important Boundary: While my background includes therapeutic training, my offering to you is strictly Life Coaching. We focus on forward-moving action, practical skills, and empowerment.
*Not qualified - (this is life coaching not therapy!)
