 Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) East London/Online 



‘You can’t hide from your inner shit. Nope. You can’t sleep it off. You can’t surgically remove it. You can’t eat/buy/wish or exercise it away. You have to turn towards it and embrace it. Look into its eyes. Be patient and so fucking tender. Then get intimate with it until it shows you another way…' - Tanya Markul

You can’t outrun the parts of you that are hurting. Unfortunately can’t shop them away, talk them down, or bury them under routines and responsibilities. Sooner or later, they find their way to the surface  through anxiety, burnout, disconnection, or a persistent feeling that something just isn’t right.

 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a different path. Rather than fighting or fixing what’s inside, IFS invites you to turn toward it  with curiosity, compassion, and courage. It’s a therapeutic approach grounded in the understanding that we’re all made up of parts: inner voices, emotions, and behaviours that once tried to protect us, even if now they feel stuck, critical, or overwhelming.

 

IFS helps you develop a relationship with these parts. Not to get rid of them, but to understand them. To meet them with patience and tenderness. To unburden the pain they carry. And eventually, to let them show you another way one that’s rooted in clarity, calm, and connection to your core 'Self'.

 

This isn’t quick-fix therapy. It’s deep, meaningful inner work. But if you’re ready to stop avoiding and start listening, IFS can help you reclaim your inner world and your life with honesty, compassion, and strength.
