Integrative Therapy
What is Integrative Therapy?
Integrative therapy allows the therapist to draw from multiple therapeutic approaches and schools of thought, blending them in a way that best supports each unique client.
This approach recognizes that no single method fits every person or every situation. Instead, integrative therapy weaves together different theories and techniques — emotional, cognitive, behavioural, physiological, and relational — to create a tailor-made package that addresses your specific needs.
Through this flexibility, integrative therapy respects and honors the complexity of each individual. It brings together the whole system within a person, inviting deep healing and self-discovery in a way that feels authentic and aligned.
How can Integrative Therapy Help?
As Oriah Mountain Dreamer beautifully writes in The Dance:
“This coming together and moving apart is what makes us aware that we are all, each of us, alone. And when I am fully with myself, it is almost enough. Almost. But when you hold my aloneness and I hold yours, when I know we will not hold the necessary silences against each other, I am penetrated by a greater intimacy, an intimacy with the Other, the Mystery that permeates everything, that penetrates and vibrates in my skin, your blood, my bones.
It is what makes my breath and your breath the same breath, breathing us all into the next moment. It is here, where my solitude and yours sit side by side that I know this Other that is never completely other, that I meet the I that is not simply myself, that I am truly with the world…”
In integrative therapy, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome — your thoughts, emotions, body, spirit, and the unspoken spaces in between. By weaving together approaches that resonate with you, this therapy supports you in uncovering new insights, releasing old patterns, and moving toward a life that feels more whole and alive.
In my practice, I integrate body awareness, mindfulness, and relational depth into each session. I draw from humanistic, existential, gestalt, person-centred, emotion-focused, and acceptance and commitment therapies — always listening deeply to what feels right for you in the moment.
My own journey has taught me the power of flexibility and presence: leaving Brazil and building a new life in London without speaking English required deep trust in myself, my body, and life itself. It is this same trust, presence, and adaptability that I bring into my therapeutic work with you.
Together, we create a unique path forward — one that honours your individual story, supports your healing, and empowers you to step into a fuller, more authentic expression of who you are.
