How I work

We all have an inner world and an outer world. Our outer world is all the things we can see, hear, smell and touch in the world. 

Our inner world comprises our thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Our inner world largely determines how we live our life, the choices we make, our interactions with others and our response to things, both positive and negative.

In order to access our inner world we need to turn our awareness inward, gently close our eyes and become aware of what is happening for us in our inner world. This can be a disorientating experience because many people have not done this before.

We need to approach our inner world with reverence, compassion, curiosity and care as the parts of us that have been wounded and hurt live their as well as the parts of us that hold our potential and qualities for us to be the best version of ourselves. 

This is where I can help, I support you to connect with your inner world and explore what is happening in a safe and supportive way. To do this I use  Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Founded in the  80S by Richard Swartz, IFS offers a safe and highly effective way to explore, understand and bring healing to our inner world. 

We are all made of many parts we are not a singular self. We have a part that wants to watch TV and another part that things we should get up and do something. We have the part that wants to be connected to our children and the part that gets angry and yells.

Self -Self with a capital “S” is the aspect of us that is untouched by our history, our traumas and hurts. This self is our true essence and has the qualities of curiosity, compassion, confidence, creativity, connectedness, courage, calm and clarity.,
