Speaks English Current Country: United Kingdom Country of Origin: United Kingdom I endeavour to create generous spaces where we can explore the simplest way to cultivate compassion, connection, understanding & growth. *I work both online & in person with:* - **Professional Settings** - **Couples** - **Individuals** **Professional settings: Organisations, Charities, Co-ops, Businesses who** - Experience tensions between staff, leaders, executives & volunteers - Recognise patterns and habits that are not serving the needs of individuals or the organisation. - Choose to nurture empathy, clear communication, connection & harmony within the workspace. **Couples : I offer therapeutic coaching for those who yearn** - Harmony - To seek deeper connection and to be heard & understood by one another. - To transform historical hurts and wounds. - Are willing to take the time for self exploration and to practise the exercises. **Individuals: who are wanting:** - Clarity about the next steps in life. - Support with relationships; (parents, children, partners, friends, work colleagues). - Explorations into parts of themselves that are stuck or carrying pain including grief, addiction and trauma. ***Do You live in the North of England?** We have a North England Community Group!

I am privileged to experience the seasons living through me, the growing of food, and a deep connection to nature. Bringing people together & cultivating spaces where people experience belonging, empathy, mattering & fun brings me joy. I hold space in various ways in my community; women circles, grief circles, NVC events, crafts events, growing food. I have been the circle lead for the UK Annual Gathering of NVC Facilitators, hosted an NVC candidate assessment event & currently part of an IIT organising team.

'Wild Geese' Mary Oliver [ LINKEDIN PROFILE ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethsilverbirch/) ““If I use empathy to liberate people to be less depressed, to get along better with their family, and at the same time not inspire them to use their energy to rapidly transform systems in the world, then I am part of the problem. I am essentially calming people down, making them happier to live in the systems as they are, and I am using empathy as a narcotic.” Ascribed to Marshall Rosenberg.” # Contact Beth Silverbirch First name \* Last name \* Email Address \* Country \* United States Your Message \* Turnstile \* ![](https://www.cnvc.org/templates/yootheme/assets/images/consent_placeholder_map.svg) ![](https://www.cnvc.org/templates/yootheme/assets/images/consent_icon_openstreetmap.svg)OpenStreetMap service required to load this map. ![](https://www.cnvc.org/templates/yootheme/assets/images/consent_icon_openstreetmap.svg)OpenStreetMap service required to load this map.
