Integrative psychotherapy sees the process of healing as the integration of the parts of a person's inner world: abilities, parts of the self, thoughts, emotions, desires, attitudes, memories, experiences, etc. into a unified whole. It does not judge these inner realities, it does not call them good or bad, healthy or sick, it does not seek to eliminate any of them, but to find their place within the greater whole. 

It sees the human being as a bio-psycho-spiritual being, living in a particular culture, in a particular society, in contact with nature. He deals with it in its complex reality, observes it in its relations, seeks how these planes of his existence are integrated into a unity.

It uses the theoretical knowledge and practical tools of the various therapeutic approaches. It seeks the deeper reality that is universal and that the different schools express in their own language and conceptual systems. It looks at how this reality is manifested with a particular client in the here and now. What language and what techniques are appropriate to make the recognised reality accessible in a given therapeutic relationship.

A strong emphasis is placed on the development of the therapist's personal working style. The theoretical knowledge and technical skills are integrated with the personal and professional background of each therapist, resulting in a unique therapeutic style. This unique style applies the theoretical and practical elements provided by the literature in a creative and intuitive way, not following predetermined protocols. The therapist's personal and professional life experiences contribute to the development of creativity and intuition. This means that he is guided by the same creativity and intuition in his everyday life situations as in his therapeutic work.

Practice and research are integrated in the therapist's work. On the one hand, this is achieved by constantly following the research published in the literature and incorporating its results into the therapist's own practice. On the other hand, he sees his own practice as research, observing with interest the factors that promote healing, reflecting on his experiences, drawing conclusions from them and refining his methods along the lines of these conclusions.
