Integrative therapy

As the name suggest this therapeutic approach is an integration of different therapeutic models (CBT, EMDR, schema, person centred therapy or other therapeutic approach that is tailored to your individual presenting concerns).

Integrative Psychotherapy refers to the process of integrating your personality: taking disowned, unaware, or unresolved aspects of your self and making them part of your cohesive personality. This can have the affect of reducing the use of your ‘defence mechanisms’ that do not enable you to engage fully with the world; they keep you isolated and feeling lonely and depressed. Through integration, the aim is for it to be possible for you to face each moment openly without the protection of your negative automatic opinions, position, attitude, or expectation. The aim of integrative psychotherapy is to facilitate your wholeness so that the quality of your wellbeing, and functioning, is maximised as far as possible.

Whatever therapeutic approach is used my aim will be to offer you an environment in which you feel safe and secure. Through this environment, and the building of a trusting ambiance, I will support you in facing whatever challenges have brought you to therapy.
