In my 20 years of coaching I have studied and used many approaches.

The approach that works best for my clients is based on Internal Family Systems. IFS, developed by Dr Richard Schwartz is based on the idea of an ever-present ‘Self’. Your Self holds tremendous potential. When you are in ‘Self energy’ you feel calm, connected, courageous and creative.

Your ‘Parts’ are the beliefs, emotions, patterns, thoughts and sensations that co-exist with your Self. The generally arose with a distinct mission - to help the Self. So, an addicted Part arose to help with an underlying problem, say pain.

The key to this unconventional coaching is to allow you to

• Distinguish between your Self and your Parts

• Understand why Parts arose

  • Follow those stories to their origin

• See

• Re-balance the relationships between the Self and the parts, so the Self energy can truly benefit from all that the parts bring to life
