Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy in London
Understand and heal your parts.
Feling pulled in different directions?
Do you notice conflicting parts of yourself—one that’s driven and ambitious, and another that just wants to rest? Or perhaps anxiety keeps you on edge, even when you know you need a break? This inner conflict can be exhausting, but it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It simply means that different parts of you are trying to protect you in their own way.
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is an approach that helps you understand, connect with, and heal these different parts of yourself. Instead of battling inner critics, avoiding anxiety, or pushing through exhaustion, IFS encourages you to listen to these parts with compassion and curiosity. Each part of you has a positive intention, often to protect you from past pain or trauma. By understanding these parts and their intentions, you can create more harmony and healing.
At the core of IFS is your Self—the calm, wise, and compassionate part of you that holds the ability to lead and heal. In IFS therapy, the goal is not to eliminate your parts but to help you reconnect with your Self so that your parts no longer need to work so hard to protect you. As you do this, you can experience greater clarity, balance, and ease.
The Benefits of IFS Therapy:
Reclaim your sense of balance: Understand how your parts interact and create a sense of internal harmony.
Heal past trauma: Address the underlying causes of pain, anxiety, and overwhelm in a gentle, supportive way.
Deepen self-awareness: Build a compassionate relationship with all parts of yourself—those that protect you and those that are hurting.
Create lasting change: With IFS, you can experience lasting emotional growth and empowerment from the inside out.
Whether you’re dealing with burnout, trauma, self-doubt, or internal conflict, IFS provides a gentle yet powerful way to uncover your inner wisdom and promote healing.
IFS THERAPY:
What you can expect from an IFS therapy session.
In our sessions, we’ll explore your inner world with openness and curiosity. IFS therapy is about understanding and connecting with the different parts of yourself—whether it’s your inner critic, anxious side, or other protective parts—without judgment. Rather than focusing on fixing anything, we’ll work with what’s already working and help you listen to what each part truly needs.
I’ll guide you in connecting with these parts from your Self—the calm, wise, and compassionate core that exists within you. With IFS, the goal is to help you understand the positive intentions behind your parts and the protective roles they’ve taken on, rather than eliminating or suppressing them.
Together, we’ll go at your pace, uncovering insights and resolving inner conflicts. As we move through this gentle process, you’ll learn to embrace and appreciate each part of yourself. Over time, this work will help you bring more balance, harmony, and healing into your life.
