About Me
I'm Liam, and I'll be your listener. I am not a clinician, I am a human who listens. At You Have My Ear I provide a safe space for you to be heard. To help you get to know me and feel comfortable, I've introduced myself in the text and short video interview below.
Liam
Founder, You Have My Ear
An Ear for Listening
Loneliness is becoming an epidemic. One in six people worldwide, and over 40% of young people in the UK, experience loneliness, according to the World Health Organization and the Office for National Statistics. I created You Have My Ear to address this.
“
I'm not here to diagnose you.
I'm here to listen.
”
I'm not a therapist and I don't diagnose. I simply offer a calm confidential space where you can speak freely and find some human connection.
My life journey has been a combination of work in government project management roles; study in history, IT and marketing; and travel, including from Perth to Perth. Communication, and human connection, have guided me on that journey.
​
Whether you're lonely, overwhelmed, or simply need another human being to talk to...I'll listen.
Meet Your Listener
I'm a friendly Scot, who enjoys meeting a diverse range of people. I'm positive, calm, and easy to talk to.
I love life, and have many interests including travel, running, walking, sport, history, books, classic film and TV. No matter what your interests or circumstances I'll be interested in what you have to say.
The Values Behind You Have My Ear
Every conversation is guided by three simple values that have shaped both my life and my work.
Listening
What I enjoy most about meeting new people is listening to their stories and getting to know their character.
​
Communication and listening skills have been major assets in my working life. Listening in particular, helped me get many projects over the line, and my career taught me the value of honest and sensitive conversations.
Now I'm using these same skills to help lonely people who are struggling.
Sociability
Growing up, my life was very social. I loved spending time with friends at the pub, in cafés, on day trips and adventures. At university and through travel, I met people from all walks of life.
These days, people live more isolated lives because of changing society and technology.
I want to help lonely people find and experience the human connection, which brings so much wellbeing, meaning and joy to our lives.
Trust
During my time in the Scottish Government, I worked with confidential information and sensitive personal records. Trust, discretion and respecting people's privacy were essential to everything I did. I learnt trust isn't built through promises, but by consistently respecting people's privacy and treating sensitive information with care.
​
I bring that same commitment to You Have My Ear. What you share with me stays between us, allowing you to speak openly in a safe, confidential space.
