Developed by Dr Dilys Liu, Listening BEARS is an approach to cultivating compassion within ourselves and in our relationships with others.

Internally, it invites us to listen to our bodies, recognise our feelings and needs, and respond with a kind, supportive inner voice—even when things feel difficult.

Externally, it encourages us to bring that same compassionate voice into how we listen, speak and respond to others, creating space for understanding and connection.

Compassion begins within and extends outwards.

The approach encourages compassionate connection with ourselves and with the children and young people we support.

Professional training coming soon.
