Internal Family Systems Therapy helps us slow down and meet all the different aspects of ourselves with compassion and curiosity.
What if the parts of you that are causing difficulties are actually trying to help? Perhaps there is a part of you that worries constantly. A part that is very hard on yourself. A part that keeps you busy because slowing down feels difficult. A part that feels overwhelmed, exhausted or stuck. Or perhaps there are parts of you carrying grief, trauma or experiences that have never quite found a way to heal. You don’t have to get rid of these parts. Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a gentle and compassionate way of getting to know the different parts of ourselves, understanding what they are trying to do for us, and helping them to let go of burdens they may have been carrying for a very long time.

About Carolyn

Internal Family Systems Therapist.

My background as a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist led me to training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. This gentle, non-pathologising therapy invites us to get curious about the parts of us that might be holding a lot of anxiety, or stress and to respond to that part with compassion and curiosity. All parts are WELCOME! even the ones that might be causing problems in your life. Maybe you are experiencing overwhelming feelings, intrusive thoughts or chronic illness or perhaps you find yourself engaged in behaviours that you don’t understand and find self sabotaging. Whatever is alive in you is welcome. Using the wisdom of your system we will get to know and befriend all the different ways your parts are trying to protect you and keep you safe. Through my work as a primary school teacher, my therapeutic qualifications and over 30 years of personal mindfulness practice, I create a space of compassion and calm to heal the toughest of situations.
