An Integrative Approach to Counselling

Working with an integrative approach allows me to draw from the different therapeutic modalities that I’ve trained in — including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This flexibility means that sessions are tailored to you as an individual, shaped around your unique needs, experiences, and goals.

The person-centred approach is at the core of all types of therapy.

It’s a supportive approach that places you at the heart of the process. Work takes place in the here and now, with a focus on your emotions, experiences and needs. It’s a non-directive way of working that is based on the belief that you have the inner resources to better understand yourself and move towards healing and personal growth, promoting self awareness, self acceptance and independence.

The psychodynamic approach is a reflective form of therapy that explores how early life experiences and past relationships may be influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the present. A key part of this work involves gaining insight into unresolved conflicts and the emotions attached to them. By bringing unconscious patterns into awareness, psychodynamic therapy can help you better understand yourself, make sense of emotional difficulties, and support lasting change.

Together, we’ll explore these unconscious processes, helping you understand yourself on a deeper level. This kind of therapy offers the opportunity for meaningful insight, emotional healing, and personal growth — reconnecting you with parts of yourself that may have been hidden, unheard, or unspoken for some time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that works from the understanding that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are closely connected — each influencing the other and shaping how we experience the world around us. CBT helps to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and self-defeating behaviours, supporting more balanced and effective ways of coping.

This is a collaborative process, where therapist and client work together to build insight and develop practical tools for change — making it a more active and solution-focused approach compared to some other forms of therapy.

If you’re struggling with any of these issues – or something else entirely – you’re welcome to get in touch. I’m here to listen, support and help you take that first step toward change.
