Counselling, which recognises the multiplicity in all of us and fosters Self-Leadership, using the evidence-based Internal Family Systems Therapy model.
A unique approach to healing:
How’s IFS different to other counselling or therapy modalities?
The Multiplicity of the Mind & Systems Thinking
Our mind-body system is a complex, adaptive system. This inner system consist of many parts, who work in service of our protection, while others safeguard our deepest fears, pains and beliefs about ourselves & the world.
Building internal relationships in mindfulness
We go one step deeper than contemporary mindfulness, to greet what’s alive inside in the present moment and invite it into relationship with us. Lasting change begins with our ability to offer curiosity and compassion to the what we meet inside.
The body holds the story
Traditional coaching and cognitive behavioural therapy works on the level of cognition and analysis. But it’s through the body, and bottom-up processing, that we can access the deeply held belief systems about ourselves/the world, which are held in our implicit memory.
How will IFS Counselling help me?
Most people come to IFS wanting relief from part’s protective strategies that are no longer serving them, such as self-doubt, anxiety, inner criticism, perfectionism, shame, avoidance, burnout, inner conflict around life decisions/transitions or attachment strategies.
While other modalities might seek to rationalise, pathalogise or manage parts and their strategies, IFS is a practice of turning towards each part in mindfulness and offering genuine curiosity and compassion. By coming into relationship with our parts, listening deeply to their stories, we can bring harmony and healing to our burdened internal systems.

IFS Practitioner, working with adults online across the EU, UK and USA
Originally from New Zealand, I’ve lived in Europe since 2016. After a career in the Tech industry, I trained as an IFS Practitioner in 2021 with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Institute. I’m especially passionate about the blend of IFS with somatic modalities such as Hakomi: Body-centered Psychology and Polyvagel Theory - to bring a body-centered, trauma-informed approach to parts work.
