Welcome to My Listening Space - Sandra Smith, founder
About Me
For more than 25 years, I worked in senior HR roles, supporting people through some of the most challenging times in their lives and careers. Along the way, I saw how much people often carry behind the scenes while trying to keep going and appear "fine".
That experience led me to train as a counsellor and create My Listening Space. I have also volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Support and supported young people at Mind.
I know that reaching out for support can feel daunting. My aim is to offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard and explore whatever is important to you. I won't tell you what to do or have all the answers, but I will walk alongside you with empathy, care and respect as you find your own way forward.
BACP-registered Counsellor • Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling • Accredited DiSC and Values Coach
I offer online counselling across the UK.
If you're wondering whether counselling might help, I'd be pleased to chat for a free 20‑minute introductory call. There's no obligation and no pressure, just an opportunity for us to talk and see whether working together feels right for you.

Growing up isn't easy. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, low confidence, friendship struggles, family pressures, or just a feeling that something isn't quite right — your feelings are valid, and you deserve support.
Having worked with young people at MIND, I understand the unique challenges you face and how much it takes to reach out for help. That first step is often the hardest, and I want you to know that whatever brings you here, you'll be met with warmth, understanding, and zero judgement.
Counselling gives you a safe, confidential space to talk openly, make sense of what you're going through, and start to feel more like yourself again. We go at your pace, and there are no right or wrong answers — just honest conversation and genuine support.
You don't have to carry this on your own.
