Internal family systems therapy

for over-achievers + high-performers

You’ve tried everything to feel better, but nothing’s really worked.

Despite trying therapy in the past, and despite being a “really good student”, nothing has worked in the way you hoped it would. You’re still waiting for that shift, that change, that… inner peace.

You’re still struggling with:

Anxiety & dread at a time in life when you’re sure you should be feeling content.

Imposter feelings despite the promotions.
Self-doubt despite the accolades.

Often feeling triggered, resentful and reactive at work, in your relationships or with family members.

Internal family systems, the ground-breaking psychotherapy, can help.

This nuanced and specialised approach offers new pathways to healing and a blueprint for living in a more aligned and self-compassionate way.

In IFS we recognise we are multiple and all parts of us are welcome. The one simple aim of IFS is to increase your sense of self-love, in order to balance and harmonise your inner system.

The impact of IFS is certainly felt in the therapy room experience, but the practice quickly becomes a sacred source of wisdom, connection and comfort that you can draw upon in all aspects of your life.

  • The underlying concept of IFS is that we all have parts living within us that fulfil both healthy and more extreme roles.

    Life events or trauma, can force parts to take on extreme roles. However, these internal roles are not fixed and can change with time, understanding and processing.

    IFS offers a healing pathway where you can move forward with your hopes and dreams instead of feeling at war with yourself, using tried and tested techniques from neuroscience such as memory re-consolidation.

  • IFS is a very experiential modaliy and the best way to understand a session is to experience it first-hand.

    For this reason I am happy to offer trial sessions for new clients so they can try the modality for themselves. Please contact me to book in for a paid, one-off session (there may be a waiting list).

  • Clients describe feeling huge shifts and transformations after experiencing IFS therapy and that it has helped in much deeper and more longer-lasting ways than other talk therapies they have tried in the past.

    Many say that IFS has given them profound healing as well as a greater insight into parts of themselves they previously didn’t understand.

    Clients who have worked with Lucy using an IFS Therapy approach have reported the following:

    1. Shifting from a place of self doubt and self blame to a place of empowering self-compassion.

    2. Feeling no longer at war with their parts (for example their ‘inner critic’ or ‘procrastinator’ parts)

    3. Experiencing an utterly transformative sense of healing

    4. Developing a deeper understanding of their relationship triggers and a better awareness of the struggles their significant others face

    5. Being equipped to speak out, find new confidence and take up more space in their world, both at work and at home.
