  • The Integrative-Interactional Approach: Bringing It All Together
    Aug 22 2025

    In this episode of The Art of Therapy, we explore how to move beyond single-school approaches into an integrative-interactional model. By weaving together person-centred principles, communication theory, and systems thinking, therapists gain a powerful higher-order lens for practice. We discuss how this synthesis helps therapists adapt to each client’s unique needs, making therapy not only effective but truly an art of human connection.

  • From Theory to Real-World Practice
    Aug 15 2025

    In this episode of The Art of Therapy, we talk about bridging the gap between knowing and doing. We explore how therapeutic theory becomes powerful when applied in real time, in the room, with the client in front of you. From integrating multiple approaches to staying grounded in the moment, we unpack what it takes to bring theory to life.

  • Between Us: The Power of Interactional Insight
    Aug 8 2025

    In this episode of The Art of Therapy, we explore the interactional approach: how focusing on what happens between people (instead of within them) shifts therapeutic understanding. We break down the difference between intra-psychic and inter-psychic perspectives and introduce concepts like trained observation and inter-rater reliability. This is the final building block in our integrative framework.
