Listening to Andrea's guidance on empathic listening skills has been a game-changer for me. Previously, I felt confused and unsure in my interactions with others. Learning to truly listen has given me a 360-degree view of my relationships, prompting me to speak up more for myself. This newfound confidence has transformed my self-esteem and improved my connection with others.

People often ask 'is Empathic Listening therapy? It isn't, but sessions do offer emotional support and healing without judgement, criticism, analysis, blame, etc.
Our empathic listening conversation had a huge impact on the overall peace and self love I felt... In my conversations with others these past few months, I've often referred back to some ah ha moments during our conversations that fundamentally shifted my internal self talk more towards love and compassion. Thank you for that 🙏🙏

What's happens in an Empathic Listening session?
💡Focus on a specific experience
Each session focuses on a particular situation that has been taking up mental space for you.
Firstly, we have a free 15 minute connection call to see if empathic listening will work for you.
Then you have a 60 minute video call where you will be deeply heard and offered reflections of what you shared.
💖 Connect to your deeper feelings and needs
Reflections will be offered as pure empathy: free of any judgements, criticism, blame, interruptions.
Instead, you'll see your experience through the NVC lens of your feelings and needs, to get clarity and integrate it.
✨Access inspiration for practical action
From this place, next steps flow from your authenticity, rather than being overwhelmed by options or 'shoulds'.
💞Learn how to give yourself empathy in the process
All that you share is confidential and everything is an invitation for what feels ok for you.
You are welcome to record the video call to refresh on insights uncovered.
Get space for healing, possible next steps and learn about self-empathy through the NVC practice.
This could help you if...
You can share about a specific experience that caused an emotional reaction in you as a starting point.
You are willing to share your experience, even when it may be vulnerable, eg: I felt hurt, scared, lonely.
You are open to considering new ways of thinking and different perspectives.
You are curious to find out what your part may be in different dynamics.
It may not be for you if...
You want to talk in general terms about struggles in your life.
You want to focus on re-telling the details of the story/ stories. Or if naming emotions doesn't feel ok for you.
You are attached to black and white thinking of how people are either 'wrong or right'.
You want to prove the other person is clearly toxic, a narcissist, the same as the rest of them, etc.
What's that like for you to read?
Some empathy for right now is: you don't need to have it all figured out to get value from an empathic listening session! It's not about being able to tick everything off this list - think of these points more as intentions that you will be gently brought back to during the process. The aim is to have openness and curiosity to explore in order to get a more understanding of your situation.
I had a lot of old limiting beliefs coming up while beginning a new project, and her gentle presence and compassion have helped me acknowledge what I'm experiencing without getting stuck in stories... Andrea has a graceful way of bringing me back to the present moment by helping me to focus on how I feel in my body & heart. I am now moving forward with clarity and confidence to work towards my goals. So grateful for you, Andrea

Topics empathic listening sessions have helped with
Empathic listening sessions have supported others to move through self-connection challenges like:
Finding clarity and deeper insights in why that thing they said or did really annoys you.
Exploring a familiar pattern that keeps coming up for you.
Making decisions that serve your needs, rather than seeking external solutions/ validation.
Considering relationships or situationships that may no longer serve you.
Understanding why you got triggered - having a disproportionate reaction to what happened.
Or if there's something else you would like support with, book a free consultation call and we can see whether empathic listening may be supportive for you.
More about Empathic Listening
How does Self-Connection impact Relationships?
Relationships of all kinds offer a mirror into what needs to be healed in us. Things can get particularly messy when we don't have a strong connection to self. Which is where cultivating self-connection through empathic listening can help:
'Only through our connectedness to others can we really know and enhance the self.
And only through working on the self can we begin to enhance our connectedness to others.'
Harriet Lerner, Clinical Psychologist.
Whilst you may want to work on creating a strong sense of self-trust and inner guidance (which previous clients and myself have found to be a game-changer), this process also helps with understanding how everyone's needs matter. From that place, creative solutions to meet everyones' needs can be found. This is the core of Compassionate Communication, also known as Nonviolent Communication (NVC), where the practice comes from. All of this takes energy, which is why I support people with cultivating the skill of self-connection: offering reassurance that it is something you can learn!
