Billie-Jude Thorpe

I am pleased to offer IFS [Internal Family Systems] therapy for individuals interested in this model. 

IFS for couple's /dyad work - Intimacy from the Inside Out [IFIO] 

I am an integrative counsellor,  I work with individuals to address a wide range of personal issues. I am committed to working with integrity, honesty and equality. 

The counselling process allows you to choose between working short term on a particular issue, or over a longer period, providing the opportunity to explore deeper aspects present in your life. We will work collaboratively, understanding what is being brought to the room and making sense of it together in an environment of safety and respect. In our work together you are encouraged to develop a self awareness and a capacity for a fuller sense of you. This will improve your relationship/connection to Self and  significant others. By deepening your understanding and care for yourself,  perspectives can broaden- loosening the bolts on personal narratives or beliefs and creating room and opportunities for a different experience.
