Maybe you are feeling stuck, find that you keep repeating the same patterns over and over, or feel as though you are in crisis?

Internal Family Systems Therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a powerfully transformative evidence based psychotherapeutic approach.
IFS recognises the concept of spirit/soul or essence being at the core of who we are. In IFS this is referred to as Self or Self Leadership. Our Self/Spirit/Soul is formed of various qualities to include an inner wisdom, clarity, calm, non-judgemental, creative, compassionate, loving, confident, assured etc.

Our soul/spirit which animates our body, functions in a pluralistic way rather than as a singular. In other words, our mind is made up of parts which we may have expressed as a part of me wanting x and another part of me wanting something else. We also say things like I’m in two minds about such and such. Read More

‘Our external communities are a reflection of what goes on within our internal communities. Getting to know our internal communities enables us to access resources to heal our inner child(ren)’

The Internal Family System (IFS) view is, irrespective of our trauma or pathology, our core Self (aka soul, spirit, essence, energy)has the innate qualities of love, non-judgemental, courageous, confident, perspective, wisdom, creative, intelligent, calm amongst others. It functions not as a singular, but rather as a community within us.

I think we’ve all had that experience of when a part of us wants one thing and another part wants something else i.e., part of me wants to go out and part of me wants to stay in. The part that wants to stay in might be seeking comfort, or have a belief that outside is a dangerous place. The part that wants to go out might have a fear of missing out connected to a belief that doing so means that they are inferior. Each of these parts has their own emotions, feelings, beliefs, memories, perspectives much a like a person and has a role to play as a member of your internal community in ensuring your ability to maintain a state of balance and harmony in your overall system/community..

What is your therapeutic approach?

I work in an integrative and holistic way taking account of mind body and spirit in the context of lived experience and beyond. I support you to understand yourself at a deeper level helping you to explore yourself for greater understanding of and insight into your real self. My approach supports a deep understanding of emotions by looking at childhood and the roots of beliefs, personality and identity, seeking causes rather than focusing on symptom relief. My approach is an interactive one based on relational methodology with the sovereignty of the individual’s experience and their personal complexity at its heart.

What is Internal Family Systems Therapy?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a powerfully transformative evidence based psychotherapeutic approach. It recognises that our essence functions in a pluralist way, with parts of us holding the emotions, feelings and beliefs (i.e. burdens) from past wounds and hurts in various parts of our system including our body and mind and even manifesting in physical symptoms. We work to understand the messages, conflicts, traumas and wounds that these parts of you hold and release any burdens that you might be carrying.

What is energy healing?

Sekhem and Reiki are essentially different frequencies of energy which assist in removing blockages and restores the natural flow of your energy. Energy healing can be done at a distance i.e. online. During a session some people experience: the flow of energy throughout their body, tingles, seeing lights/colours or other visuals, lightness/heaviness, falling asleep, immediate release of physical symptoms, feeling emotional and some people feel nothing (although this can change as a person’s sensitivity to feeling energy increases).

How many sessions will I need?

This is a difficult question to answer without having met you to explore your needs in more depth. Some issues will require fewer sessions, others still will need a much longer commitment.

Do you have any offers/promotions?

Yes, see my current packages.

Where does therapy take place?

Sessions are both face to face in Wembley & Central London and online via Zoom

What other commitments do I need to make?

To ensure that you get the most value from our sessions and to ensure that therapy does not move any slower than it needs to, mutually agreeable homework will be set from time to time as appropriate. We will also discuss any other commitments, such as around confidentiality, during our initial session.
If you are ready to book a session or to discuss how I can assist you, please do get in contact.
