“We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world”.

With Gabor Mate in Glasgow 2023

Compassionate Inquiry is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté and structured and organised by Sat Dharam Kaur.

This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction.

When we can release ourselves from the old stories we tell ourselves, a new way of being emerges, leading to spontaneity, choice, expansion and freedom.

We learn how to hold and integrate our younger selves in a compassionate and transformative way, helping us to be more authentic and self-directing in our lives.

There is a rich amount of personal and professional development opportunities within the CI community. I regularly meet with my mentor and CI therapist for supervision sessions and join zoom calls with Gabor, Sat Dharam, guest speakers and the facilitation team to enhance my therapeutic skills and knowledge.

I am currently the only qualified compassionate inquiry practitioner based in Scotland and see clients from my home in Edinburgh and globally over zoom. You can find my listing on the compassionate inquiry practitioners page here.

I am available to meet in person or online seven days a week, including evenings.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book an appointment.
