Our inner world holds deep wisdom, often hidden beneath the stories we tell ourselves. By tuning into our emotions and listening to our bodies, we can uncover a personal map to a more meaningful life. With support and encouragement, we can recognise what we long for, what we need, ‘what truly feels right for me'. Together, we can explore how past experiences and the world around you shape your present-moment experience. When you become aware of old patterns, you can decide which ones still serve you - and which ones don’t - allowing you to step into new ways of being that bring greater connection, fulfilment, health, and wellbeing.

My work is grounded in Gestalt therapy and focuses on what’s happening in the here and now — in your thoughts, feelings, body, and relationships. I support clients to notice patterns that often develop in response to earlier experiences and how these patterns can show up as stress, emotional shutdown, anger, anxiety, or feeling stuck.

I work with kind, intelligent, and reflective individuals who, despite their outward achievements, feel trapped by unhelpful patterns and past experiences. My clients often feel a sense of being lost, broken, or tainted. They may struggle with chronic self-doubt and the belief that they are not worthy of a fulfilling life.

Many people find themselves troubled by long-standing symptoms, or a sense of feeling held back by something. Often, for a range of different reasons, there have been experiences that have not been able to be spoken, and therefore silence persists when it comes to deeper longings or deciding life direction. I aim to provide a space where people have the opportunity to speak freely and be heard in their particularity; as an individual and not a label or category. I help people find creative responses to the impasses that can arise in many facets of life.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
