how i workI am an Integrative therapist, which means I work with a wide range of psychotherapeutic theories. Each theory has value in explaining how we interact with the world around us. When considered alongside each other these theories can complement one another, which means for a broad understanding of the challenges we face in the world each day.
Working integratively also refers to the process of integrating the personality. We habitually hide, suppress and defend aspects ourselves, often without realising that we do so. These behaviours may serve a purpose in the short term, but we are denying ourselves contentment and fulfillment in the long run as the effort of so much hiding, suppressing and defending takes its toll. Integrative counselling seeks to reacquaint us with those hidden and forgotten parts of ourselves and remind us of what potential lies within. |
