How Our Service Works – The Good Listener

Note this is not a crisis support service. If you feel that you, or someone you know is in danger see the crisis support options available below.

How The Service Works

Sometimes in life you just need to talk to someone to let go of whatever is bugging you! A safe space to VENT! Confiding to family and friends can come with fears of embarrassment, judgement and unwanted advice.

At The Good Listener we are skilled in being your empathic ear; however we are not licensed therapists or psychiatrists. We do provide you with an ‘Authentic connection’, consisting of empathy and compassion. The Good Listener will give you their full undivided attention, in a non-judgemental environment, free from professional advice and diagnosis.

We provide you with a safe and anonymous space, to cater to your needs, giving you the opportunity to simply vent out, Talk through your true feelings and emotions, share your events and experiences, your concerns. Most of all we give you the feeling of presence, a place to validate your true feelings and emotions. We as humans crave to be heard, and The Good Listener allows your voice to be truly heard and acknowledged, so you don’t feel alone.

Conversation Scenarios

Infidelity

Jemima is in a high-flying corporate job and loves her job. But she accidently slept with her boss when they were both drunk, at the Christmas party. She feels disgusting, she does not know how to deal with the guilt and moreover she is petrified that if word got out then her reputation would be tarnished. She worked her way to the top; she never slept her way to the top! She just needs to talk it out with someone to lift the heavy load from her soul.

Parenthood

New parents Hayley and Adam love their new born baby, but they feel like there is no more fun left in their lives. They can’t do any of the things that they used to do. They are sleep deprived and argue all the time. Hayley feels resentment towards Adam because he still has a life! They feel isolated, old and bored, but are too scared to discuss this with anyone because people will judge them as being selfish and undeserving parents.

Familial Relations

Kwame has always had a rocky relationship with his brother. But nobody understands that it’s so difficult to be civil with his brother. Nobody understands how his brother is jealous of him and succeeds in annoying him beyond measure. Often, he is told to grow up, nobody listens to him!

Infertility

Anna and Mo are going through IVF treatments. They feel like nobody understands the pressure of conceiving! Mo finds the pressure to perform on the ovulations days is overwhelming. He finds his wife physically attractive, but he feels like there is no fun in the ‘baby making sex’! This is causing a great strain on their relationship, and they can’t discuss this sensitive matter with anyone.

Workplace Relations

David has just moved from a small village to the big city. He is new at work and all his colleagues have been there for a long time. He is absolutely struggling to make friends, his colleagues are polite, but they never involve him in any social events. He feels so lonely, he knows nobody in the city and really misses having someone to talk to, someone to listen to him.

Toxic relationship

Elise has a group of friends that are not pleasant people. She feels stuck because if she does not affiliate with them, she is left with nobody. Being with or without them is equally horrible. She does not want to be left out of all the social events. But equally does not like the way her friends talk down to her and to other people. She really needs to vent out to someone, what her friends say and how that makes her feel.
