The relationship between integrative and Islamic counselling

Integrative counselling is a valuable tool. However, it only considers the client within a social and natural framework. Islamic counselling on the other hand, utilizes the major tenets of integrative counselling, but adds to them an added dimension. This is the relationship between the client and his/her creator. In this paper I aim to draw out areas of commonality between integrative and Islamic counselling and highlight the main difference between these two therapeutic approaches.
