Integration Psychotherapy Services (IPS) exists to expand access to high-quality psychotherapy while supporting the development of well-trained, well-supervised practitioners. To do this responsibly, we offer a tiered structure that reflects both differing levels of financial access and differing stages of practitioner experience.

An initial 20-minute screening call is offered to explore suitability, availability and a sustainable fee. A £20 administration fee is payable at the time of booking this call.

We offer a reduced-cost therapy option for individuals who are experiencing financial barriers to accessing support. Sessions within this tier are typically offered on a sliding scale between £20 and £60 per session.

Clients in this pathway are matched with second-year Integration Psychotherapy students who have been assessed as competent to practise by the course director and IPS. These therapists are working within a clearly held placement structure and receive ongoing, high-quality clinical supervision.

Therapists in this pathway are trained to work competently with a wide range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, neurodiversity and relational difficulties. Since 2022, many clients who have previously been in therapy have commented on the depth, care and quality of the work offered, often expressing surprise at the level of skill and presence our students bring to the therapeutic process.

For those who are able to pay a more standard fee and who wish to work with a practitioner trained in a holistic, integrative methodology developed over more than two decades of clinical practice, IPS also offers a graduate therapist pathway.

Sessions in this tier are typically offered within the range of £70 to £100 per session.

Graduate therapists working within IPS have completed the Integration Psychotherapy training and have developed particular areas of clinical interest and experience. These currently include work with:

• trauma and complex trauma

• anxiety and mood disorders

• addiction and compulsive behaviours

• neurodiversity, including ADHD

• gender and identity-related exploration

• grief, loss and life transitions

• relational and attachment-based difficulties

Clients are carefully matched based on therapeutic need, practitioner experience and availability, and all therapists continue to receive professional supervision.

Once you have registered your interest, we will contact you by email to arrange a 20-minute phone conversation. We will match you to one of our therapists and put you in touch with them shortly after. Your therapist will dedicate the first one or two sessions to give you space to discuss your medical, psychological, and personal history and your current difficulties or reasons for seeking therapy. You mustn’t be experiencing extreme psychological distress during your assessment. 

We ask that you commit to at least eight weeks of therapy with us, and you can stay as long as the therapeutic alliance is working for you. 

Integration Psychotherapy brings a distinctive contribution to the field by integrating talking therapy, somatic practices and multi-faith contemplative traditions with a grounded, science-informed understanding of the human system and the process of individuation.

An Integration Psychotherapist is trained to recognise how the body and nervous system respond to stress, pressure and change, and to support clients in restoring balance and regulation. Through depth training and personal process, practitioners develop an embodied understanding of how individuals respond to crisis and transition, and how experiences can be integrated in ways that support greater self-awareness and coherence.

While each therapist works in their own way, all are trained to work flexibly across verbal exploration, mindfulness, meditation, breathing practices and movement. Therapeutic work is held within somatic enquiry, supporting clients to remain connected to their present-moment, embodied experience.

All trainee psychotherapists working with Integration Psychotherapy Services are in the final stage of their training and have been assessed as competent to practise under ongoing clinical supervision.

Therapists are supported by supervisors trained within our somatic supervision framework, ensuring that both client work and practitioner development are carefully and ethically held.

Below are a few words of feedback we take from our clients at seven weeks.

16-10-23 Brilliant, amazing, very helpful. You’ve no idea how much this has helped me.

17-10-23 It’s helped me understand my life and the way my mind works; I was going down a bit of a bad path but therapy has defiantly helped. I wish I’d have started a long time ago because it might have helped me to understand myself more and make better sense of my relationships.

30-10-23 it’s been really powerful and useful. It’s been just what I have been looking for. The flexibility and combination of different techniques and the focus on the body is just what I’m after. I’ve found that there is some hope, that the therapy is helping me to embody, understand and integrate.

30-10-23 Extremely helpful and really comfortable. It’s help me get my head around quite a lot things so much, I feel that it been life changing for me. The method also really suits me. I wasn’t sure how it would go over zoom, but my therapist has a good way of making it feel like she is in the room. She’s made me push myself out of my comfort zone and go with it. I’ve opened myself to more of myself – I was a bit hesitant about the spiritual – woo woo aspect of it, but everything we have done has worked and I’m opening to more. I did not have high exceptions because of my prior experiences with therapy.
I was willing to make the changes, I wanted change but I just didn’t know how to, it seems like it was the right time for me and everything is falling into place with it.

13-06-23 It’s been really good – it’s a different approach to the counselling and CBT that I have done. I find that it’s less about trying to find solutions and change how I’m thinking and more about trying to recognise how I’m feeling. I feel like there is a lot of work to do, and it’s hard but I’m understanding why it’s necessary to learn about what it is like to be me.

04-01-24 Amazing really, really helpful, it’s made a lot of difference, we have covered a lot of stuff in a short period of time. I felt like I dealt with quite a lot of stuff over the time. Many things were brought out, looked at and integrated that have been building up over the years.

3-11-25 When I think back to when I first started the process, I was going back to bed, couldn’t function: I was extremely anxious couldn’t get round a supermarket. I’m a lot more able, managing to do more, not going back to bed. I’m still in the thick of it but it has given me hope that there is a way through this. 

7-01-26 I have talked to her about things that I don’t have anyone else to talk to about. I found it a really nice thing to look forward to, even when I felt in a really low state, because I felt like I could get everything out without judgement. It’s been a marker point in my week, sometimes thinking, “if I can just make it through to then”. It has also made me think about things, and I know I can talk to my therapist about what arises. Made me feel very much less alone.
