All forms of listening have their place, but we need to understand which kind we should develop further and which ones we may need to let go.
Pause for a moment and consider: What are you listening to in your daily life? What are you tuning into? Are you drawn to the good news or the bad? Are you hearing the possibility of growth, or are you focusing on what has gone wrong? Instead of looking backward at disappointment or challenge, what if you framed your listening around forward movement? What if you asked yourself, "How can I shift? What do I want to develop moving forward?"
Asking these questions change how we experience life. Listening to ourself with a clear mind, an open heart, and a still body allows us to be fully present in every conversation, free from bias or preconceived solutions. The more you pay attention to what you are listening, the more you will connect with the light and potential that exist within you. Within you is a powerful light that can sustain and inspire, no matter what comes your way.

How well do you listen to yourself?
Asma Rita Nosarka I Educator I SACE I Registered Counsellor I HPCSA I Reflective Coach I Group TherapistTypically, a session is called a session. However, in this space, the term 'conversations' is chosen with intention. This shift in language does not alter the process itself but instead fosters a more natural and welcoming atmosphere. 'Conversations' suggests open, cooperative dialogue, inviting you to listen deeply to yourself. It is about shaping an environment that feels less formal, more fluid, and deeply connected to your personal journey.
What the Counselling-Coaching Approach Is Not and Is
This approach is not about telling you what to do, labelling you, or diagnosing you with a problem. It is not about dwelling on your past or offering one-size-fits-all solutions. It is not therapy in the traditional sense, nor is it a standard coaching session focused solely on goals. It is not a space for judgement, criticism, or unrealistic promises of instant growth. It is also not limited by stereotypes - this is not just for women, executives, or people in crisis. Instead, this unique approach blends elements of counselling and coaching to meet you where you are, with compassion, creativity, and practicality. It focuses on promoting emotional well-being, restoring balance, and empowering you to move forward with clarity and purpose. By honouring your individuality and your story, this approach creates a space for renewal, growth, and meaningful change.
