Why choose an ICS counsellor?
Going to see a counsellor or psychotherapist can be anxiety producing! This is usually caused by the fact that people do not know what to expect.
On these pages we will inform you about the way Integrative Cognitive Solutions (ICS) operates - our counsellors, our philosophy, our methodology, what to expect from us and what we expect from you.
In this way, we believe that you will find your therapeutic experience to be greatly enhanced.
Philosophy
Our combination of Solution Focused and Cognitive approaches means that we are future focused, strengths based and goal oriented.
At ICS we view each individual on a holistic basis. After careful assessment, we work with each client to develop a treatment plan to address the client’s key goals.
At times it may be helpful to focus on a client’s emotions, thoughts, behaviour, relationships with others or their overall physical health. It is often found that change in one area has a positive impact on another, seemingly unrelated, area.
Method of Practice
There are many therapeutic models in the world today. At ICS we do not believe that any one model is right for all clients. Rather, we aim to tailor the counselling to best suit each individual client. This can be much more challenging for the counsellor, but results in a far more effective therapeutic experience for the client.
A professional and well-researched Assessment Procedure lays the basis for a carefully constructed treatment programme that the client helps to construct. All options are discussed with the client and they remain an active participant throughout the counselling process.
Collaboration
We believe that collaboration is key to the success of the counselling process. We work with you to help bring about effective change. We will not tell you what to do, but will help you to explore options and possibilities. We will work to significantly raise your awareness of both yourself and of others.
Typically we ask our clients to do some additional work between sessions, as this work helps to maintain the therapeutic process and also shortens the amount of time that the client needs to spend in therapy.
As a client, we ask you to be as honest and open as you can throughout the therapeutic process.
Code of Ethics
and Standards
All ICS therapists are members of professional counselling bodies and abide by their codes of ethics and standards of practice. In addition, all of our therapists are professionally insured.
Confidentiality
ICS regards confidentiality as being of the utmost importance. As such, personal details regarding your case will be kept confidential and not discussed with anyone else other than anonymously in a supervision setting (where rules of confidentiality also apply). Our confidentiality policy is so important that it forms part of our formal written agreement.
Assessment
As previously mentioned, ICS therapists are committed to providing a high quality, comprehensive assessment. This typically means that one of the initial sessions is of longer duration, as extra time is needed to complete this assessment process.
This assessment results in us needing to spend less time trying to obtain information and more time in the therapeutic process, so it results in real savings for the client.

Integrative Cognitive Solutions Limited (ICS) also provides quality counselling and psychotherapy training and conducts numerous workshops and seminars.
