Therapy with a difference
I am a UKCP certified and insured integrative psychotherapist, a Certified IFS therapist (Level 3) and an Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) couples therapist. I run “closed” IFS therapy groups and facilitate online and in person (in Stroud, Gloucestershire) “open” community IFS Drop In Healing Circles.
Internal Family Systems helps you understand and heal your inner world, whilst giving you a new relationship with your Self. You can then return to your relationship using Intimacy from the Inside Out, helping to heal your heart and mind, in relationship with another person and in a group. IFS EMDR can help embed this process.
I’m warm, relational, relaxed and friendly.
I identify as neurodivergent (“peer reviewed” AuDHD rather than formally diagnosed) and my monotropic hyperfocus is IFS and all related topics!
I’m in weekly IFS therapy myself and have a number of supervisors whom I see regularly: UKCP, IFS, IFIO, IFS-EMDR.
*****Please note I have no space currently for new clients (Autumn/Winter 2024)*****
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a powerfully transformative, evidence-based model of psychotherapy. We believe we have a family of inner parts or personalities which contain valuable qualities and a core Self which knows how to heal, allowing us to become integrated and whole. An empowering paradigm, which is so engaging, relational and can be fun. Therapy like you've never known it!
Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO)
Intimacy from the Inside Out© (IFIO) is a model of couples therapy that draws primarily from IFS and uses the intimate relationship itself as a vehicle for growth and healing of the individual, as well as the couple. Deep and very powerful, its a model of differentiation, helping you both become more yourselves whilst being listened to by the other. It's possible to come out of the infinity fight loop and have very different conversations.
