I offer Internal Family Systems therapy. The core idea of IFS is that the different parts of our personality are like an inner family, and the key to healing is to respect, understand and love every part of us. I believe all parts of you, including parts that might cause difficulties for yourself or for others, are worthy of compassion, understanding, safety and fulfilment. I think of therapy as a space for you to feel heard, make sense of your past experiences, and build self-compassion, self-knowledge, and the skills needed to live in greater alignment with your needs and desires.
We might explore the impact of traumas and painful events; discuss your experiences around identity, work, sex, exercise, food, parenting, health, or money; explore what it means to you to feel fulfilled, safe, or cared for; look at your interactions with loved ones; or explore your worries, uncertainties or hopes for the future.
Together we can work to connect with different parts of you, listen to their stories, and understand why they behave the way they do. I charge £50 for a 50 minute session and £25 for the first session. I welcome you reaching out by email to discuss what you’re looking for from therapy or ask any questions you have.
