Integrative Approaches in Mental Health

Modern psychiatry is most effective when it sees the whole person — not just the diagnosis. My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a range of evidence-based treatments across conventional medicine, psychological therapies, and lifestyle interventions to support your recovery in a personalised, meaningful way.

Mental health is shaped by many interconnected factors: genetics, life experiences, relationships, physical health, sleep, nutrition, stress levels, and more. Rather than focusing on one narrow aspect, integrative psychiatry aims to understand the full picture — and to treat the root causes, not just the symptoms.

This kind of holistic care may include:

• Pharmacological treatments, when appropriate, to help stabilise symptoms

• Psychological therapies suited to your needs and preferences

• Nutritional and hormonal assessments to identify underlying contributors

• Sleep, stress, and lifestyle interventions to strengthen your day-to-day resilience

• Mind–body techniques such as breathwork, mindfulness, and grounding strategies

By combining these approaches thoughtfully, we can create a plan that not only reduces distress but also promotes long-term recovery, well-being, and self-understanding. Whether you’re seeking clarity, symptom relief, or a more sustainable path to health, integrative psychiatry offers a compassionate, personalised route forward.
