What is integrative therapy?
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor and have also studied CBT and psychodynamic therapy.
I combine elements of each approach to suit your requirements.
As we work together and get to know each other better, we can tailor the sessions to suit what would be most effective for you.
Person-centred counselling
You lead the sessions and can change the subject as and when you like. This approach focuses on your present feelings and current situation with an aim to become more self-aware to enable you make positive changes. This approach is flexible and can be short or long term. Person-centred counselling is great if you have multiple areas to explore.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT offers a structured approach to explore how your thoughts, feelings and behaviour connect to one another. The aim is to understand and challenge your negative thought patterns, resulting in positive actions and improved wellbeing. This approach tends to be goal-orientated and usually focuses on one area and is short-term.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is usually a long-term option. It is used to explore your past in-depth and understand how this shapes who you are today. This approach can be helpful if you wish to discuss your childhood. Having a greater understanding of past events and relationships can help identify the root cause for issues you face today, enabling you to take the next steps in improved wellbeing.
