Integrative Therapy is an approach in which the therapist draws on a range of therapeutic models and techniques, selecting and combining them in response to the individual in front of them. Rather than applying a single fixed framework to every client, an integrative therapist might draw on elements of CBT, psychodynamic theory, person-centred practice, somatic approaches, and more, depending on what the presenting difficulties require and what the person responds to. It is one of the most widely practised approaches in the UK and is particularly well suited to people with complex or multifaceted needs.
Theoretical Pluralism
Integrative therapy draws on the most relevant and well-evidenced elements of multiple therapeutic traditions. Your therapist holds a broad theoretical knowledge and selects the tools and frameworks that best match your specific situation, rather than being confined to a single school of thought.
The Person at the Centre
At the heart of integrative therapy is a genuine commitment to meeting you as an individual. The approach is shaped by who you are, what you need, and how you respond, rather than by the requirements of any particular model. You are the framework.
