What Does an Integrative Psychotherapist Do?
I work as an integrative psychotherapist, which means I draw on different approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you. This may include focusing on the person-to-person relationship (humanistic), exploring how early experiences and unconscious processes shape the present (psychodynamic), or noticing how emotions live in the body and how neuroscience and attachment studies can support change (body-based).
I also bring in existential ideas about the wider human experience and pay close attention to the relationship between us (relational), as this can reflect patterns in your life. For neurodivergent clients, I aim to offer a flexible, collaborative, and non-judgmental space that adapts to different communication styles, sensory needs, and ways of processing, so that therapy feels supportive and accessible to you.
Session Structure
Each session will be 50 minutes and will start on the hour.
In our first session, which may be the assessment, we’ll talk about what brings you here and what you hope to get from therapy.
You will be able to decide if I am the right therapist for you.
From there, we’ll build a working relationship rooted in trust, compassion, and curiosity.
Sessions will take place on a regular day and time, e.g. Mondays at 3pm or every other Tuesday at 2pm.
Working minimally with one session per week is best, but in certain circumstances, I will consider working on a fortnightly basis or as and when required.
What we will be doing over the course of our sessions
In our sessions, you’ll have a safe, confidential space to explore what’s going on in your life, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or navigating grief or change. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here; we’ll work together in a way that suits your pace and needs.
Sessions may involve discussing the past and present. We may use creative tools like drawing or writing. I will encourage you to notice what comes up in your body, and together we will explore patterns in relationships and behaviour. Some people prefer a structured session with clear goals, while others prefer a space to explore freely; both are welcome.
Psychotherapy can offer insight, relief, and a sense of being heard. We might look at your past to understand how it shapes the present, and we’ll also think about how to support you in the here and now. Over time, many people find that therapy helps them feel more connected to themselves and others.
Fees are payable in advance or on the day, and I have a 48-hour cancellation policy; otherwise, you will be charged for the session.
