Heal with internal family systems therapy

Hi, I’m Victoria and I do Internal Family Systems therapy in Newcastle UK and online. Internal Family Systems therapy or IFS therapy Newcastle is built on the idea that mental distress is the result of inner conflict and emotions from the past that may be resurfacing in the present. Through IFS therapy Newcastle, we can work to reduce this inner conflict, discover our inner choices and create healthier relationship dynamics.

The power of compassionate listening

I understand that there are times in life that can feel overwhelming and daily life feels like a struggle. It can feel like there are barriers that are blocking our path and our feelings can be emotionally overwhelming, stressful and painful. It can feel scary, isolating, confusing and we can feel stuck in our life due to a difficult upbringing and a lack of support.

Through truly being heard and having someone fully understand your pain, things get better. With a client-centered approach using Internal Family Systems London, I will support you through difficult times exploring issues ranging from depression, anxiety, neglect, abuse and trauma.

My primary method

My primary framework for my therapy is Internal Family Systems London. Internal Family Systems London is a type of therapy that is grounded in the theory that our inner world consists of parts (or sub-personalities) and that together these parts form a protective system in an attempt to protect us from pain. From time to time, our various parts conflict with each other and act in unhelpful and dysfunctional ways and we can feel fearful and stuck.

Most people can think of a time when they were aware of different parts of themselves. For example, we might think ‘Part of me saw the red flags but another part of me felt rejected’ or ‘On the one hand I know I need to speak up for my needs, but on the other hand, I am worried that others will get angry at me’.

The good news is that these internal parts are not set in stone and they can change and transform with time and inner work. Our parts also have innate gifts and Internal Family Systems London can help us draw upon our vulnerabilities to find resilience and wellbeing. The goal of Internal Family Systems London is to become aware of our own parts, befriend them and unburden them from hurt and pain, so we can achieve balance and find inner harmony.

Turn struggles into strengths

I believe that you have all of the answers inside of yourself and my role is to provide a compassionate cocoon for you to heal and alchemise your struggles into your strengths, so you can show up in your life and relationships with more vitality, autonomy and personal power.

I aim to nurture a therapeutic relationship based on acceptance and compassion and I will support you in your choices without judgment.

REDUCE EMOTIONAL STRESS

find healing with deep compassion

Internal family systems therapy invites us to look deeply into the experiences that have left us feeling hurt or misunderstood. By connecting with the parts of ourselves that carry the memories and emotions of our past, we gain a greater understanding of how these experiences impact us in the present.

We can meet ourselves with compassion and care, providing the love and support that may have been missing in our early experiences. Through “reparenting” ourselves, we can rewire our brain, releasing old emotions and behaviours that no longer serve us. We can become more present, better able to connect with ourselves and others in the here and now.

Testimonial

"I've had years of different therapy and nothing has ever got to the root of my issues like what you've introduced me to"

“I just wanted to thank you firstly, for all the incredible sessions. You’ve made a massive difference to my inner children. I’m understanding myself better and I’m checking in with them and some of them are pretty much healed now. So thank you, thank you. Like I’ve said before, I’ve had years of different therapy and nothing has ever got to the root of my issues like what you’ve introduced me to so thank you. I’m very, very grateful to have found you and for all the incredible help you gave me. And I’ve had almost 40 years of just not feeling good enough and my inner critic ruling and I’ve really learned to love my inner children and understand where they’re coming from and I’ve just got a very different relationship with myself now and I don’t feel petrified of people anymore”.
