An Experiential Introduction to Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Two Morning Workshop for Therapists, Counsellors, and Psychologists
Facilitated by Dr Helen Barrett and Dr Hannah Brownlee, Clinical Psychologists
Are you curious about Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how it can deepen your understanding of yourself and your clients? You're in the right place.
IFS is a powerful, compassionate model for working with distress, trauma, and the full complexity of human experience. This two-morning experiential workshop offers an accessible and nourishing introduction to IFS through the lens of personal exploration.
You will be guided to:
Understand the foundations of the IFS model and parts work
Begin identifying and connecting with parts of your own internal system
Cultivate compassion and curiosity towards your parts, including those that feel stuck, critical, or in pain
Reflect on how transformation and healing can emerge from within
This is not just a theoretical introduction—it is a space to experience the model for yourself, in a safe, supported environment. Through gentle guided exercises and shared reflection, you will begin to develop a more spacious and compassionate relationship with yourself.
Crucially: all parts of you are welcome and will be held with warmth and compassion.
This workshop is facilitated by Dr Helen Barrett and Dr Hannah Brownlee, Specialist Clinical Psychologists with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with complex trauma and emotional distress.
