Internal Family Systems
Welcome to the New Zealand based website for people interested in the Internal Family Systems’ approach to therapy, human relationships and life in general.
Tena koutou katoa. We’re so glad you found us. If you are looking for IFS based therapy or facilitation, we have an up to date list of people who have completed training in IFS and where they are based in New Zealand.
Also, if you are looking to learn more about IFS or to train further using this approach, we have a section suggesting IFS trainings and resources.
What is Internal Family Systems?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a powerfully transformative, evidence-based model of psychotherapy. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing.
Our inner parts contain valuable qualities and our core Self knows how to heal, allowing us to become integrated and whole.
IFS is a movement.
A new, empowering paradigm for understanding and harmonizing the mind and, thereby, larger human systems. One that can help people heal and helps the world become a more compassionate place.
You are welcome here, and all of your parts are welcome too.
IFS Institute welcomes all people of any age, race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, class, ability, language or cultural background into the Internal Family Systems community.
