If you have further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Integrative Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach that combines techniques from various psychological theories and frameworks to tailor the therapy to the unique needs of each individual. It draws from different schools of thought to create a comprehensive and adaptable treatment plan.
Integrative Psychotherapy can benefit individuals dealing with a wide range of emotional, mental, and behavioral issues. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem, or personal growth, integrative psychotherapy can provide support. An initial assessment session can help determine if this approach aligns with your needs.
I offer an initial 15-minute session either online or over the phone, where we can have a chat and decide if we are a good match for therapeutic work. If so, I offer an initial 50-minute session to understand your concerns, background, and goals. You'll have the opportunity to discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and ask any questions you may have. This session is also about establishing rapport and ensuring you feel comfortable with me.
Each therapy session, whether online or face-to-face, lasts 50 minutes. The number of sessions needed varies based on your specific needs and goals. Some clients find relief and progress in a few sessions, while others may require more extensive support. I will discuss this with you as therapy progresses.
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. Information shared within sessions is generally kept confidential. However, there are legal and ethical exceptions, such as situations where there's a risk of harm to yourself or others. I will explain the limits of confidentiality during your initial session.
Initially, weekly sessions are recommended to establish a therapeutic routine and build momentum. As you make progress, session frequency can be adjusted to bi-weekly or even less frequent, based on your needs and progress.
Your comfort is a priority. It's okay if you're hesitant to discuss certain topics initially. I understand this and will create a safe space, allowing you to share at your own pace. Over time, you might feel more comfortable exploring those areas as trust develops between us.
The ending of therapy is a collaborative process. As you work towards your goals and experience positive changes, we will discuss your progress and readiness to conclude sessions. A termination phase allows for reflection, reviewing accomplishments, and discussing strategies to maintain your progress independently.
In some cases, integrating different therapeutic approaches can be beneficial. However, it's important to communicate openly with me about any other therapies or treatments you're engaging in to ensure they complement each other effectively.
To begin your journey with Integrative Psychotherapy, simply book an initial 15-minute session, where you can share your concerns, ask questions, and determine if my approach aligns with your needs.
