More and more, psychotherapists and researchers agree that no single psychotherapy technique can be effective and appropriate for all patients, issues, and situations. For this reason, Integrative Psychotherapy differs from the commonly used "one-size-fits-all" model of therapy. Evidence-based research has shown that integrative psychotherapeutic treatments are effective for a variety of psychiatric disorders such as, but not exclusive to, Depression, Social Anxiety Disorders, Generalized Anxiety Disorders, Personality Disorders,  Dissociative Identity Disorders, and Trauma.

Integrative psychotherapy recognizes the shared elements present in all successful psychotherapy, irrespective of the specific theoretical framework or therapeutic methods employed. Common factors are those elements that contribute to positive therapeutic results across various therapeutic approaches. This model strives to adapt to the individual, works in the context of a therapeutic alliance, and focuses on affective, behavioural, cognitive, and physiological functioning and spiritual beliefs. Integrative psychotherapy draws upon many evidence-based models and theories to create a treatment that explicitly addresses clients’ unique experiences and concerns. Irene uses a person-centred and collaborative approach and has a warm and compassionate presence, with a great capacity for deep attunement and relational cues and works in collaboration with the client to ensure each personal need is met.
