What is
Internal Family Systems Therapy?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that views the mind as made up of distinct sub-personalities or “parts”. These parts often have different roles or emotions and may come into conflict. IFS helps bring balance and harmony within.

How Does It Work?

IFS therapy works by helping individuals recognise and understand their internal parts. It encourages connection with the core Self, which is seen as calm and compassionate. Through guided exploration, parts are acknowledged, unburdened, and helped to work together more effectively.

Who Is It For?

IFS therapy is suitable for anyone seeking deeper self-understanding or struggling with emotional difficulties. It can help with anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship issues. People curious about inner conflicts or seeking lasting personal growth often find it especially valuable.

What Happens in a Session?

In a typical IFS session, the therapist guides the client to explore their internal system. Clients may focus on a specific part, listen to its concerns, and respond with curiosity. The goal is to develop trust and facilitate healing from within.
