Integrated Practice Support

What is Integrated Practice Support

At Connected Self we have invested heavily in the development of quality, evidence informed, practice approaches, structures and systems to support the delivery of high quality integrated practice, both internally and in partnership with other organisations. To do this we have synthesised a range of different approaches that are scaffolded into an easily digestible format that can be customised to a variety of applications and service contexts – this include (but is not limited to):

• Restorative Practice.
• Attachment Theory (and the Circle of Security).
• Trauma Informed Approaches.
• Resilience Theory.
• Transtheoretical Theory (or Stages of Change).
• Cognitive Behavioural Approach.
• Schema Therapy.
• Acceptance & Commitment Theory.
• Psycho-Social Approaches.
• Psycho-Physical Therapy.
• Expressive Arts Therapy.
• Relationship Based Practice.

At the core of our approach is the belief that the relationship is the core of everything that we do and as such it is the relationship that we bring primary focus to in the first instance. We then seek to create awareness of what may be underlying the presenting issues, at the individual’s emotional core, to inform the therapeutic intent that we bring to each interaction we have with the individual we are working with.

Importantly we have developed an integrated and flexible multi-disciplinary approach to ensure that we bring rigor to the way that we deliver therapeutic intent for each organisation and individual. Our experienced and committed psychologists, art therapists, counsellors, practice leaders and youth practitioners work within a structured yet dynamic collaborative context to maintain high levels of quality in our practice and to assist partner organisations to build their capacity.
