Why Internal Family System (IFS)

Internal Family Systems is a non pathologising evidence based therapeutic approach. It is a game changer when it comes to identifying and healing the parts of you that are getting triggered or overwhelming you and positively changing the various habits and patterns of behavior that result.

No matter what the issue, whether anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, self-hatred, despair or just everyday melancholy and life-dissatisfaction, inner conflict and indecision, even physical pain that manifests in the body due to life stressors and/or trauma, IFS is getting amazing results.

Which is why, despite years of practicing as counsellor and psychotherapist, I have gone onto spending further money and time training in this therapeutic approach. I want you as my client to get the best outcomes that you are after in therapy and an opportunity to live your best life.

So what’s different about IFS?

In an IFS session, your behaviour and feelings are not pathologised with a diagnostic label. Instead, you get to know the part of you that is driving these feelings and/or behaviour. In doing so, you will discover that this part of you is trying to do the job of protecting you in some way from some past pain or trauma, even if it has become extreme in it’s approach.

As you dialogue with the part what is behind certain thoughts, behaviors and feelings that you are experiencing or that are driving you will come to light.

You will discover what to heal and why and how. In doing so, you will begin the journey of moving on from the ongoing impact of past experiences that are contributing to suicidal thoughts, addictions, anger, depression, anxiety, self-hatred, PTSD symptoms or overwhelm.

And, throughout this process, you don’t have to share with me any memories that you don’t feel comfortable sharing. It is a personal journey, with guidance, of you getting to know and healing your inner world.
