Integrative Psychotherapy in London

The integrative approach to psychotherapy integrates different styles of counselling so that therapy can best suit each client’s specific needs at any given time.

What works for one person in therapy may not be the best approach for someone else and the Integrative model of counselling allows therapy to be flexible and adaptable in line with each client’s personal needs and expectations.

Integrative psychotherapy combines elements of several different approaches

An Integrative therapist is trained in a number of different counselling approaches and draws upon these different approaches to help each client in a way that best suits that client at the time. The Integrative approach assumes that each person is uniquely different and that no single approach to therapy can address the physical, social, emotional and psychological needs of any person. Life experiences are different for everyone and the Integrative approach acknowledges these differences.

Integrative psychotherapy is a modern, collaborative approach to therapy. The client and therapist work together. Integrative therapists actively engage in the client’s experience of therapy.

Integrative therapy allows the client control in how therapy takes shape

While some clients have strong ideas about the type of therapy they want to receive, most clients want whatever type of counselling will be the most effective for their personal needs. Because the Integrative approach is collaborative, the client may have a preference for the type of therapy used. The style and type of therapy may change during the course of therapy, using the most effective approach for the client at any given time.

Essentially, Integrative Psychotherapy is designed to tailor therapy to the client rather than tailoring the client to a particular type of therapy. This approach works on the basis that one approach to counselling does not fit all.
