About Internal Family Systems
What if every part of you had a story worth listening to?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a powerful, compassionate approach to understanding your inner world. It’s based on the idea that we’re made up of different “‘parts’ - like the inner critic, people-pleaser, perfectionist or overachiever. These parts aren’t flaws -they’re trying to protect us in the best way they know how.
IFS invites us to meet these parts with curiosity, not judgment. Beneath even the most difficult patterns is usually a desire to help or keep us safe.
At the heart of IFS is the belief that we all have a core Self - a calm, compassionate inner presence that can lead us with clarity and care. From this place, we can relate to our parts with kindness, shift stuck patterns, and feel more at ease in ourselves.
I use IFS in both my fiction and coaching. In stories, I explore characters shaped by their inner lives.
In coaching, I help people connect with their own inner cast so they can stop fighting themselves and start creating from a place of clarity and compassion.
It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about getting to know yourself - deeply and compassionately.
This is the beginning of a new kind of relationship - with yourself.
