What is Integrative Psychosynthesis?
Integrative Psychosynthesis is a holistic approach to working with you as issues and feelings are explored together. It embraces the whole person - the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of the individual.

It has many strands although I would describe my predominant style of working as psychodynamic. In this way we can explore how unresolved conflicts from the past can still influence the present. This means that the way that we work together and relate will be an important aspect of the work.

I also like to work with dreams and the creative imagination. It is through these that the therapist and client can explore both the psychological and soul issues that are calling to be addressed.

By bringing awareness to our inner life we may find a strength and balance, and allow a sense of soul to emerge. Soul in this context is not a thing, but qualities of depth, richness and heart through which new meaning and possibilities may be found.
