Philosophy
The philosophy of integrative psychotherapy is rooted in the recognition that individuals are unique and have diverse needs, and that a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy may not be appropriate. By drawing from different theories, such as cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and systemic approaches, the therapist can tailor their interventions to match the specific needs and goals of each client.
Approach
A fundamental aspect of integrative psychotherapy is the focus on the client's subjective experience. This approach recognizes that individuals have their own unique perspectives, values, and beliefs, and that therapy should take into account their individual contexts and experiences. By exploring the client's internal world and helping them gain insight into their thoughts, emotions and behaviors, the therapist can facilitate self-awareness and personal growth.

The way psychotherapists and counselors work can overlap. Both use talking therapy to help someone tackle an emotional difficulty. But the training for each is different.
Psychologists and psychiatrists are different. Psychiatrists are medical doctors that diagnose illness, prescribe medication, manage treatment and provide a range of therapies for serious mental illness.
Psychologists have a degree in psychology and work in schools, hospitals, care homes, prisons, and private practice. They work to understand people’s behavior and address psychological distress. One way to think about it is that psychology is the study of the mind, and psychotherapy is about applying insights from psychology to help people.
