Internal Family Systems

Internal Family Systems therapy is a way of working with the various parts of a person, thus Parts Work is the name that IFS therapy is often referred to. We think of ‘parts’ when we experience shifting states of mind that each have unique thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, which then in turn create patterns that recur within us and that we begin to recognise as parts of ourselves. These parts can at times be quite different from each other.
IFS aims to assist the individual to gain a perspective that allows the state of mind we call “Self” to be in charge and to orchestrate a more balanced life.
