Integrative Therapy
Integrative Therapy is a flexible, holistic approach to mental health that combines elements from different therapeutic traditions to meet each client’s unique needs. Rather than following a single school of thought, integrative therapists draw from a variety of methods—such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic approaches, and mindfulness-based practices—to create a personalised treatment plan.
This approach recognises that no one method is effective for everyone. By tailoring therapy to the individual, integrative therapy supports healing on multiple levels: emotional, psychological and physical.
