Life can feel a lot. Work stress, relationships, family expectations, the constant pressure to have everything figured out… sometimes it feels like you’re spinning twenty plates and hoping nobody notices one is cracked. And yet, finding someone to really talk to, someone who listens properly, without judgement or an agenda is surprisingly hard.
That’s exactly why I created Right Here Listening, a women’s listening service in Newcastle designed for women who just need someone calm, supportive, and on their side. Not therapy. Not small talk. Just real conversations that help you breathe again, think clearly, and feel more like yourself.
If you’ve been searching for a women’s listening service, a place to vent, reset, or talk things through with someone who genuinely gets the mental load we carry… you’re in the right place.

What Is a Women’s Listening Service?
A listening service is simply a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about whatever’s weighing on you. Think of it as chatting to a wise big sister or supportive best mate, except she’s impartial, she’s not involved in your life and she doesn’t get bored halfway through your story.
Right Here Listening offers:
A calm space to talk through anything on your mind
Support that’s judgement-free, confidential and genuinely helpful
Clarity when you’re overwhelmed or overthinking
Encouragement when you’ve lost your spark
Straight-talking guidance when you need a reality check (lovingly, of course)
Women use the service for everything from break-ups and burnout to confidence dips, overthinking, work drama, friendships, decision-making and those weeks where everything feels a bit too heavy.
Because sometimes you don’t need a diagnosis.You just need someone to sit with you, listen properly and help you figure out your next steps.
Why I Created a Women’s Listening Service in Newcastle
I’m Hollie, founder of Right Here Listening, born-and-bred North East girl and long-time go-to listener for basically every woman in my life. I know how heavy the mental load can get. I know how lonely it feels when you don't want to burden your friends, or when the people around you try to help but don’t quite understand. And I know how much better life feels after a good, honest chat with another woman who just gets it.
Newcastle is full of strong, ambitious, kind women… who are also exhausted, overstretched, and doing far too much on their own.
This service exists for you.
Who Is This For?

Weekly or monthly calls if you prefer consistent check-ins.

Why a Women’s Listening Service Matters
Because women are expected to hold everything together. We juggle work, friendships, relationships, family responsibilities, internal worries, emotional labour, people-pleasing tendencies and the pressure to be “fine” all the time. It’s no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed.
Talking to someone who will listen properly can help you:
Regulate stress
Untangle confusing emotions
Make clearer decisions
Feel grounded again
Stop spiralling thoughts
Build confidence
Feel genuinely supported
You don’t need to struggle on your own.And you definitely don’t need to “just get over it.”
Support exists for a reason and you’re allowed to have some.

You deserve someone in your corner.You deserve a space to be honest. And you deserve to feel better than “just coping.”
