Integrative Psychotherapy

Integrative psychotherapy is a flexible, personalised approach to therapy, offering a thoughtful space to explore your experiences, relationships and the changes you hope to make.

A place to begin

Integrative psychotherapy shaped around you

Integrative psychotherapy draws on ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches rather than relying on a single theory. It offers a flexible way of working that recognises each person's needs, history and circumstances are different.

Our conversations can explore what is happening for you now, how past experiences may influence the present, and what might help you move forward. Together, we can find an approach that feels meaningful and appropriate for you.

Five complementary perspectives

Approaches within integrative psychotherapy

My training includes a range of therapeutic models. These five approaches help inform my integrative practice.

✧

Person-centred therapy

Developed by Carl Rogers, this approach offers an accepting, empathic space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.

✧

Transactional analysis

Associated with Eric Berne, transactional analysis explores patterns of communication, relationships and the ways we interact with ourselves and others.

✧

Psychodynamic therapy

Psychodynamic thinking considers how earlier experiences, relationships and less-conscious feelings may shape our responses in the present.

✧

Cognitive behavioural therapy

CBT looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and can offer practical ways to recognise and change unhelpful patterns.

✧

Systemic theory

Systemic thinking looks at the wider context of our lives, including families, relationships and the systems that influence how we relate to others.

Working together

Integrative psychotherapy: more than one way to understand

There is no one-size-fits-all way to experience life, and there should not be a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Integrative psychotherapy allows us to consider different perspectives while keeping your individual needs at the centre of our work.

Whether you want to make sense of a recurring pattern, understand a relationship, or simply have a space to talk, we can begin with what matters most to you.
