Natasha Wilson IFS & IFIO Therapist, UKCP Psychotherapist
Internal Family Systems (IFS) for individuals & groups, IFIO with couples and open IFS community Healing Circles online and in Stroud Gloucestershire
26/07/2025
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Stroud and Online Internal Family Systems (IFS) Drop-In Healing Circles this month! We focused on the theme of Courage – an innate quality of Self: a sense of capability and inner strength, taking action and facing what comes your way!
The community turned inside and met parts during a meditation, then represented parts externally on paper, and then had lots of time for sharing.
Here’s Abby handing over your donations at The Long Table Stroud (with the rest covering room hire at the Exchange). £175 this time so around 17 meals paid forward for our community.
We’d love for you to join us in September as we focus on another quality of Self: clarity🧡
🌞 Courageous Saturday morning at the Stroud IFS Drop-In Healing Circle, with some new faces and lots of heart-centered sharing. 💖
Here’s a photo of our dream team conveners – from left to right Abby, Karen, Andie (not today, social media 😉) and David.
Much appreciating their care and warmth in holding our community healing circle.
(FYI I’m on sabbatical until September, recovering from knee surgery)🌸

💬 One participant recently shared:
“I’ve grown more in these groups than in years of therapy… Being part of a living, breathing community of people practicing IFS together has taken my growth to a different level. That mirroring has been really touching and powerful. I leave more in Self, and more able to meet life with clarity and poise.”
💛 Come as you are. Be held. Be heard. Be witnessed. Experience Self-energy in community.

It often makes me chuckle when I hear Terry Real - Relational Life Institute say give yourself 60 seconds to feel like a rotten person then breathe yourself up again.
Im very much enjoying training with the Relational Life Institute as I recover from my surgery. I hope you’ll enjoy some posts I’ll share as I come across them and find them inspiring

A few of us have been dreaming of more in person community IFS drop ins…
16/07/2025
Can you relate?
I’m often reflecting on people-pleasing moments and my “anticipatory scout parts”. For a long time, I didn’t even realise these were parts/adaptations/defences —especially since I only realised I’m AuDHD later in life. 🙈
For me, masking and putting others first was just the default. But it’s been a journey of recognising these inner parts of me and befriending them. And let’s be real, sometimes I still blend with them before “I” even notice! 😅
But there’s hope! 🙌 Terry Real at the Relational Life Institute has some useful tools that are helpful for navigating relationships—especially once we start to make peace with these parts of ourselves and they realise we’re a team. 🌟
It’s all about balance, self-awareness, and kindness to yourself along the way. Anyone else on a similar journey?!

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)
