Integrative Counselling

You were born to be real, not perfect...

Counselling and psychotherapy are both forms of talking therapy that involve working with a trained professional to explore personal thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a confidential and safe environment. Both allow you a safe space to talk and work through the feelings and behaviours that are distressing or troubling to you, helping you to make sense of your experiences both current and past. Your therapist can then help you to develop healthy and effective coping strategies to deal with the ups and downs, and find new solutions to old problems.

Both forms of therapy involve a collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client and are considered to be effective forms of treatment for a wide range of emotional, psychological, and behavioural problems. The therapist will listen, ask questions, and provide guidance and support to help the client explore and understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

An integrative approach to therapy combines elements from different therapeutic models and techniques to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. This approach has the advantage that it allows the therapist to be responsive to your unique needs. Your therapy can be adapted to your progress and may change over time whilst still maintaining a coherent and effective treatment plan.

Our range of therapeutic approaches include CBT, DBT, Parts Therapy, Hypnotherapy (clinical and cognitive), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, REBT therapy, EMDR, and IEMT.

We can support you both face to face, online or a combination of the two.

Psychotherapy and counselling are similar yet different

Both are forms of talk therapy that involve working with a trained professional to explore personal thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in a confidential and safe environment. Whilst counselling tends to be shorter term, psychotherapy is usually more mid to long-term. Psychotherapy generally helps people with past issues that may be the underlying reasons for present behaviour. Counselling is often more focused on the present day challenges.
