Individual
Therapy

Integrative individual therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that combines techniques and theories from various therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to an individual’s unique needs. Instead of adhering strictly to one theoretical framework, integrative therapy draws on multiple perspectives to address different aspects of a person's mental health and well-being.

​

A breakdown of how integrative individual therapy typically works:

​

1. Personalisation: Our therapist will assess your specific issues, preferences, and goals. This assessment helps in selecting the most appropriate therapeutic techniques from various modalities.
    

2. Flexible Approach: The therapy may blend elements from different approaches, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, or mindfulness-based approaches. For example, a therapist might use CBT techniques to address specific thought patterns while also incorporating elements of psychodynamic therapy to explore underlying emotional issues.
    

3. Holistic Focus: Integrative therapy often takes a holistic view, considering various aspects of the individual’s life, including their emotional, cognitive, social, and sometimes spiritual dimensions. This comprehensive approach aims to address multiple facets of a person’s experience rather than focusing solely on one area.
    

4. Goal-Oriented: The therapy can be goal-oriented, with both the therapist and the client working together to set specific, achievable goals. The integrative approach allows for flexibility in achieving these goals by using the most effective methods for each individual.
    

5. Collaboration: The therapeutic relationship is central, with an emphasis on collaboration between the therapist and the client. This collaborative process helps ensure that the therapy remains relevant and responsive to the client’s evolving needs.
    

6. Evidence-Based: Integrative therapy often incorporates evidence-based practices from various approaches, ensuring that the techniques used are supported by research and have been shown to be effective.
    

In summary, integrative individual therapy is about blending different therapeutic techniques and theories to create a customised and flexible approach. It aims to address the complexity of an individual’s issues by drawing on the strengths of various therapeutic modalities.
