Integrative psychotherapy views the person as a holistic system—body, mind, and spirit—and therefore adopts a systemic approach that recognises how deeply these dimensions intertwine and influence one another.

These processes are rooted in dynamic dialogue, as in classical psychotherapeutic work, while also drawing on therapeutic insights from the body (e.g., muscular contraction caused by emotional tension) and the spirit (e.g., the impact of personal beliefs).

A cornerstone of this work is cultivating an empathic, inclusive, and finely attuned therapeutic space—one that supports deep internal processes.

 

What the journey may include

The therapeutic process is often long-term (though not necessarily); it is individually tailored and may include the following dimensions:

• Past – Processing trauma and significant life events; facilitating healing, release, and emotional rebalancing; exploring internal patterns, meanings, and narratives; fostering self-acceptance and integration of previously disconnected parts of the self.

• Present – Navigating change, crises, and current life events; transforming limiting beliefs into empowering ones; learning to harness emotions as a driver of growth and resilience; acquiring tools for emotional regulation and for reducing stress and anxiety; cultivating the capacity to experience joy, satisfaction, and fulfilment in everyday life.

 

Integrative tools (used when appropriate)

• Somatic work – Exploring bodily sensations to deepen inner connection, decipher internal and external signals, and process held emotional charge within the body (inspired by Focusing and Somatic Experiencing).

• Guided imagery – Leveraging imagination as a means of access to the unconscious and a powerful tool for regulation and relaxation.

• Parts dialogue – Encouraging awareness, compassion, and integration among inner parts of the self (inspired by Gestalt Therapy, IFS, and related approaches).
