Integrative psychotherapy

Integrative psychotherapy means seeing the person as a whole. Body, thoughts, emotions and life history are in constant interaction. In integrative work, different therapeutic approaches are combined in order to best accompany the individual process. This creates a space in which understanding, change and stabilization are possible at the same time. The goal is to recognize old patterns, enable new experiences and develop a stable connection to oneself. This is not about diagnoses, but about relationship, resonance and development – at your own pace, with what is currently there.

How Integrative Psychotherapy Works

Integrative psychotherapy combines deep psychological, behavioral and experience-oriented methods with body-oriented and mindfulness-based elements. It uses what is felt in the moment, thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and translates it into understandable processes. This creates the opportunity to question old strategies, test new ones and sustainably stabilize the nervous system.

What is used in my practice

In my practice, I work with various psychotherapeutic procedures that complement each other depending on the concerns. These include:

• IFS (Internal Family Systems), working with inner parts
• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), working with acceptance and values
• Hypnotherapy and hypnosis
• Compassionate Inquiry by Gabor Maté
• Trauma-sensitive and body-oriented procedures
• Grief guidance and grief therapy

All methods are combined individually. The aim is to reconcile the body and the psyche, to create access to inner resources and to open up new scope for action.

When Integrative Psychotherapy Can Be Helpful

• During stresses, crises and exhaustion
• fear, grief, shame or guilt
• Psychosomatic complaints and chronic stress
• accompanying disease, pain or loss
• Strengthening self-worth, clarity and ability to relate
