Online IFS Drop-In Healing Circle this Wednesday evening ☀️
(UK and Ireland)
Wednesday 17th, 6:15–8pm on zoom.
Tickets available on my website, we go ahead if just a few of us or any number up to 18 🧡
No IFS experience necessary - saying that, therapists and counsellors welcome too!
These circles are a space to come together in community—co-regulating, connecting, and sharing warmth. 💜
Therapy can feel out of reach financially and are a big commitment. These groups are low-cost, and rooted in community connection.
I hope you’ll join us.

☀️Community IFS In-Person
Drop-In Circles ☀️
These circles are built by community, for community.
It’s wonderful to witness the healing and growth that
happens when people come together in such a warm,
“safe-enough”, and brave space.
I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge all our
wonderful team of facilitators, who selflessly give their
time and energy to serve our community, unpaid and
voluntarily. 🙏
A huge thank you to:
✨ Abby
✨ Anna
✨ Jeremy
✨Julie

These incredible IFS enthusiasts, IFS and IFS informed
therapists, practitioners, and coaches beautifully hold
the space each month. Whether I’m with them or not,
their presence brings clarity and healing to all. Healing
happens in community, and we are so lucky to have
each and every one of you. 💖
Together, we’re creating a space where every part of
you is welcome, where Self energy can radiate out to
the community, and where connections bloom.
Join us next time – everyone is welcome!

What a lovely and intimate start to the Cirencester Drop In!
Beautifully, gracefully, and warmly held by Anna, with Karen’s lovely voice guiding us in meditation and creatively mapping our parts. We explored such a fascinating sculpt and shared some deep reflections.
It was truly a heartwarming experience! 🧡
Thanks to everyone who joined us — and big thanks for supporting the Grace Network and contributing to The Long Table in Cirencester.
🤗
Here’s a photo of 3 of us, Shân with us in spirit (we forgot the photo before we left, but she was right there with us!) ☀️
Join us next month for “Connectedness” - Friday 10th October, 2-4pm at The Old Department Store, Cirencester

Come and join us! There’s one place available in a small, closed IFS Healing Circle for therapists starting this month at my home on Lansdown.
This is my only closed group running at the moment, as I balance my energy, so it’s a rare chance to join an established circle with a couple of new faces.
When:
Thursdays, 3.45–5.15pm (arrive a little early for a cuppa)
Dates:
25th September
9th October
23rd October
6th November
20th November
4th December
(18th December to be confirmed together)
In this series, we’ll be able to focus more deeply on each of you – offering the chance for one sculpt or one-to-one each session.
Contribution: £30–50 per session (sliding scale), ideally paid in a lump sum at the start.
If this speaks to you and you’d like to join, message me to arrange a brief chat.

In IFS, Clarity isn’t something you have to work for—it’s a natural quality you already have ☀️
When we are not blended with our parts—like anxious or reactive parts— Self brings calm, clear insight into a situation.
This isn’t about overthinking or analysing harder. It’s about relaxing, creating some space, and letting Self guide your perspective.
So, if you’re feeling foggy or confused, take a moment to check in inside and meet with your parts.
The clarity you seek is already within you 🥳

Following on from my post about boundaries needing to be both protective and containing - a sailing ship works so beautifully as a metaphor for psychological boundaries:
Protective:
Your ship floats because its hull keeps the sea out. Waves can crash against the sides, but the water only comes aboard if you open a hatch. Likewise, not every word or opinion from the outside world gets to soak in.
If it isn’t true, the hatch stays closed.
If you’re unsure, you pause, test the waters, maybe ask your crew before opening.
If it feels true, you choose to let it aboard.
Containing:
A ship also needs to contain its own power. The wind in your sails is your passion, words, and emotions. Without rigging and knots to hold the canvas, the sails flap wildly, the ship loses direction, and others may get hurt. Containment keeps your energy purposeful, moving you forward instead of lashing out.
A seaworthy vessel sails best when both sides are balanced: the hull strong enough to keep the sea out, the sails disciplined enough to harness the wind. This way, you stay connected to the sea around you (part of the world, open to wind and tide) while also protected and contained (not sinking or capsizing and not crashing into others!)

Hi, I'm Natasha. I am an accredited UKCP psychotherapist offering Internal Family Systems therapy as this has been my focus and particular passion over recent years If you've ever said 'a part of me feels X, and another part feels Y' you'll get this type of therapy. The aim is to meet your voices/parts and your deeper Self, with the idea of bringing the whole into harmony. It's creative, sometimes fun, really interesting, deep, healing and proven to work. I work with a wide range of people and I have considerable experience working with anxiety, panic and depression, trauma, ME/CFS, relationship issues and addiction. I am friendly and not afraid to delve into dark places. In IFS my role is to be a facilitator/friendly guide as you get to know your 'internal system' and help you ask the questions which lead to system changes, unburdening and healing.
Our initial meeting is mainly to see how we get on, to answer any questions you might have and to maybe start 'part detection' (where we begin to notice the different voices inside, what they have to say, what their roles are...). Generally I then work with clients weekly, in full hour sessions, but some clients work better less frequently or even just when they get stuck or want to ‘unburden’ exiles!
I’ve recently trained to facilitate something called the Safe and Sound Protocol. This is different to neurofeedback (which I also do), in that its all about training the middle ear muscle to pick up a feeling of safety and to learn to coregulate. The Safe and Sound Protocol is a research-based intervention that has given significant results in reducing stress and anxiety and improving the well-being of people of all ages. Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a five hour auditory intervention designed to reduce stress and auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience. Based on Dr. Porges’ Polyvagal Theory, by calming the physiological and emotional state, the door is opened for improved communication and more successful therapy. It works using an App and headphones, and having a trusted other to help the coregulation. Lets have a chat about it if you’re interested!
Presently I work with clients using Skype and Zoom or on the phone.
My practice is centrally located in Stroud, near the library. Please note I have no disabled access, the practice is in a private home and there are pets who live on the property. I am less than 5 minutes to the train and bus stations.
Do give me a ring or send me a message to start your IFS journey or you’d like to discuss taking the Safe and Sound Protocol. I hope you’ll be as fascinated in your journey as I was in mine!
My usual fee is £50 a session online or face to face in Stroud. The Safe and Sound Protocol is £250 which includes an initial consultation and then considerable support during the 5 hours of the Protocol (this is often divided into smaller chunks)
