Compassionate Check In, Compassionate Listening
My name is Kandiss. I am the owner and sole parctitioner of Compassionate Listening. I have a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, am a mother of 3 and have been described as a people person. I was inspired to create this company after hearing the concerns of people arond me, wishing they had someone to talk to but without the pressure of therapy. Hearing people apologize for over sharing in my workplace, simply because they didn’t have anyone to share thier feelings or experinces with and seeing elderly people lose cognitive skill from lack of socializing. I though to myself, there should be a service for people, adults, where they can call and talk to someone and feel heard…. like a friend. So here I am, eager to listen with compassion to what you would like to say, This is a safe space where you can share your experiences, feelings, dreams and aspirations and its not therapy so I promise there won’t be homework!
Looking forward to Compassionately Listening to you soon!
How It Began
Compassionate Listening was founded from a deep-seated passion for holistic, patient-centered wellness. Recognizing the importance of genuine, compassionate care, I established this clinic to provide a space where understanding and support come first.
