Integrative Psychotherapy

Integrative Psychotherapy values an awareness of mind, body, feelings and spirit, and combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic orientations, tailored to an individual’s needs.

Fundamental to my therapeutic approach is the belief that with the right support we all have the potential to continue to change and grow throughout our lives. And that by understanding ourselves better and taking responsibility for our feelings and behaviour, we can find greater happiness.

Therapy is a process of collaboration between the therapist and client, in which together we explore the issues you have brought at a pace that feels safe and appropriate for you. My task as a therapist is to hold up a mirror to your experience, in a way that helps you see more clearly what is happening, and what part you are playing in it. This creates the opportunity for you to recognise old patterns of behaviour that are no longer useful, to try out new ways of thinking and responding, and thus to make different, more appropriate choices in your life. This process can also enable you to re-connect with parts of yourself that have been lost or denied, and can lead to a profound sense of being more truly your real self.
