About me
Hi. My name is Tamsin Hartley.
After working as a physiotherapist for ten years and then taking time out to raise a family, I retrained to work as a coach, trainer and workshop facilitator.
​
I have created The Listening Space because of my belief in the transformative power of listening deeply to ourselves and to others.
I have also always been drawn to using metaphor in my work, and when a friend introduced me to Clean Language it wasn’t long before I was hooked. Here was a respectful way of working with peoples' metaphors that is both resourceful and richly creative.
I have combined the principles of mindful awareness with exploration using Clean Language to create The Listening Space - a structured process in which one person facilitates another to explore what is on their mind, using a combination of repeating back their words and a specific set of Clean questions.
​
My work has also lead me to creating Coming to Calm, an approach that introduces you to mindful tools that help to make you feel calmer and bring a greater sense of enjoyment to the things that you do.
​
I am the author of two books:
-
The Listening Space: A New Path to Personal Discovery
-
Captured Moments: Poems Inspired by a Listening Space
