Holistic Integrative Psychotherapy

Amal uses a Holistic Integrative approach to psychotherapy. This means that he uses a variety of therapeutic modalities that relate to mind, body and soul.

With this Integrative approach he uses therapeutic methods such as traditional talk therapy, inner child and shadow work, emotional expression and release, guided visualization, breath work, meditation, somatic/body awareness and somatic movement exercises.

The aim of his approach is for you to develop a greater self-awareness and expand your understanding of how both past and present experiences and relationships influence your present feelings, emotions, thoughts, behaviours as well as your health and body.Working in this framework allows the problems and symptoms you experience to become signs as to what your authentic self is asking you to envision and act upon. Your pain can become a doorway to personal growth, self-knowledge, healing and inner peace.

In addition to these modalities his work is always:

• Trauma informed- working with a deep understanding of trauma and aiming to integratethis into all aspects of therapy and understanding the neuroscience oftrauma and how trauma impacts the brain, body, thoughts, emotions andbehaviour.
• Attachment informed - working with an understanding of how we have been shapedby our earliest bonding experiences and how this continues to play out in adultrelationships.
