Reviews

"Counsellors and psychotherapists alike increasingly seek a holistic approach to practice. Finlay offers us here an inevitably personal approach to integrating several key modalities based on a core belief - which I share - that it is 'the relationship that heals'." (Therapy Today, May 2016)

"In summary, the book is a well-organised, engaging read that is brought alive by case-studies. I would recommend it (for the first section) to therapists in training, recently qualified therapists and anyone wanting to reflect upon their practice, irrespective of their therapeutic approach (integrative or otherwise). It would of course, be particularly useful to those who intend to integrate approaches in their practice." (South West Reviews 2016)
