NVC Companion
A calm, local-first space to learn Nonviolent Communication, reflect on a difficult conversation, and practise clearer, more compassionate responses.
This companion is an educational guide inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC). It helps you organise what happened, what you felt, what mattered to you, and what you might request. It does not upload your words, diagnose anyone, or replace professional support.
If a conversation involves abuse, threats, or immediate danger, prioritise safety and seek appropriate local support.
Learn the concepts
Nonviolent Communication focuses on honest expression and empathic listening. The core pattern is OFNR: observation, feeling, need, request. Open each concept for guidance and a before/after example.
Reflect on a conversation
Use this space to “confess” what happened: describe the conversation, name how you feel, and explore a response aligned with NVC. The draft is a starting point — review it, soften it, and make it yours.
Practice, step by step

Small scenarios to try
Use these as low-stakes practice. Read the situation, then write your own OFNR response before comparing.
