It draws from various theoretical frameworks, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.
2. How can integrative counselling help me?

By integrating different therapeutic techniques, it allows for a personalised treatment plan that best supports your goals and preferences.

4. What can I expect from a counselling session?
In a counselling session, we will work collaboratively to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and non-judgmental space. Through empathic listening, open dialogue, and evidence-based techniques, we will identify areas of concern and develop strategies for coping and growth.
