Frequently asked questions

How does Compassionate Inquiry differ from traditional talk therapy?

Traditional therapy aims at managing symptoms or changing thought patterns whilst with Compassionate Inquiry, we explore the why behind the patterns. The emphasis is on mind-body connection, suppressed emotions and body awareness.

Is Compassionate Inquiry trauma-informed therapy?

In compassionate Inquiry trauma is understood by not what happened to you, but what happened inside you as a result.

What role does Mindfulness play in your approach?

At the beginning of each session you will be invited to breathe together mindfully bringing us together in the present moment. Mindfulness body and mind awareness will allow for a deeper enquiry of emotions, bodily sensations and thought patterns during your session.

Do you teach Mindfulness as a separate modality?

Yes, I teach Mindfulness as an eight week programme or as a one off to support the client’s process.
