Integrative psychotherapy is an approach that combines elements from various therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to the individual needs of clients. This method recognizes that no single therapeutic approach is universally effective, and instead, it draws upon techniques and theories from person-centred therapy, existential-phenomenological therapy, and psychoanalysis, alongside cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT). By integrating these diverse perspectives, Dr Li can create a more personalized treatment plan that addresses the complexities of a client's psychological experience.

In the context of person-centred therapy, integrative psychotherapy emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the client’s subjective experience. This approach fosters an environment of empathy, acceptance, and authenticity, allowing clients to explore their thoughts and feelings in a safe space. Existential-phenomenological therapy further enriches this integration by focusing on the individual's lived experience and the search for meaning, helping clients confront existential concerns and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

On the other hand, the incorporation of cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT, CFT, and mindfulness-based therapies) provides practical tools for clients to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, while CFT emphasizes compassion and self-acceptance. Mindfulness-based therapies encourage present-moment awareness and acceptance, which can be particularly beneficial for clients struggling with anxiety and stress-related problems. By weaving together these varied therapeutic strands, integrative psychotherapy offers a comprehensive framework that respects individual differences and promotes healing and growth.
