Therapy Toolbox

An Integrative Therapy Approach

✨ Integrative therapy is a holistic approach that combines various therapeutic techniques and practices to address your emotional, mental and physical well-being.

It recognises that each one of us is unique, so methods are tailored by blending elements from different modalities, such as CBT, mindfulness, EMDR, person-centred etc...

This approach encourages self discovery, promotes resilience, and fosters healing by considering the whole person - the interconnectedness of the mind/body/soul - the emotional, the mental, the physical and spiritual aspects of you, and helping you to achieve a balanced and healthier life.

♡ Not only integrative but heart-centred too ... with the emphasis on:

empathy, compassion & understanding
a holistic perspective
mindfulness and presence
authentic connection
emotional healing
and an increased self-awareness

What's in my therapy toolbox?

For those who appreciate a bit of 'psychobabble' ...

Person Centred Approach:

... is a supportive way of talking, where you can explore your feelings and thoughts with a therapist who listens without judgement, helping you understand yourself better and find your own answers.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy:

... is about looking towards the future and finding solutions to challenges rather than getting stuck in the problems, helps you set goals, identify your strengths.

Psychodynamic Approach:

... helps you understand how your past experiences and unconscious feelings affect your current thoughts and behaviours today, often by exploring your relationships and emotions.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT):

... helps you understand and express your feelings better, so you can work through tough emotions and improve your relationships with others by learning to connect with your feelings in a healthy way.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT):

... understanding how your thoughts affect your feelings and actions. Teaches you to challenge negative thoughts, change unhelpful behaviours, and build problem-solving skills.

Eye Movement, Desensitization & Reprocessing - EMDR:

... helps you deal wth tough memories by guiding the brain to process them in a healthy way, using a specific 8 stage protocol.
