Why Integral Therapy?
We all go through times of challenge and difficulty in our lives. While these tough times are often our opportunities to grow, we can feel overwhelmed and alone.
"When we are no longer able to change a situation -
we are challenged to change ourselves."
Sometimes to change ourselves we need support. Integral Therapy is the kind of support that embraces all of who we are to enable our growth.
What is Integral Therapy?
An Integral Therapist takes the holistic view of your life as a human being, so that you are met in the most supportive and empathic way.
The relationship between you and your Integral Therapist is at the heart of any effective treatment, helping you:
- Better understand yourself and your struggles
- Build more satisfying relationships and more effective communication
- Regain a sense of balance and peace of mind
- Find direction and meaning that allows you to thrive
Honouring ancient wisdom and modern knowledge, an Integral Therapist integrates many diverse disciplines, such as psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, cognitive science, spiritual traditions, studies of complexity, anthropology, and consciousness studies.
Fusing all these teachings, the Integral Therapist embraces all the parts of one’s life for healing and growth.
As a Certified Integral Therapist, I am listed in the citintegral.com/therapist-directory created to help clients and professionals locate Integral Therapists from around the world.
About Me
After completing an Arts degree in Psychology, Social Work and Religious Studies and then achieving a cum laude in my Honours degree in Psychology at the University of Stellenbosch, my path veered off the conventional track I had envisioned for myself - to Asia.
Waking up in a tatami room overlooking rice paddies, I lived for three years by myself in Taiwan. Not being able to understand or be understood, and navigating the strangeness of a foreign land alone was heady stuff.
The path changed again, and my dog and I found ourselves back in Africa. I joined a consultancy in organisational development in South Africa. Our work focused on helping companies in actionable, productive, and meaningful ways to change how they communicate and coordinate to improve their results.
Again, the path curved, and I became married and a parent. Here my world turned inward as my children grew. And as they grew, so did I.
My path brought me home to becoming a certified Integral Therapist and returned me to my first love, helping people.
