INNER RELATIONSHIP FOCUSING

Why Inner Relationship Focusing?

When you are asked to speak in front of a group, what happens to you, inside?

You may have excited parts, but also doubtful and self-critical parts. The result is often an inner tug-of-war that feels very stressful.

Inner Relationship Focusing shows you how to relate differently to yourself in a way that brings change.

“ Not only did IRF teach me techniques to listen and care for my wellbeing, but it also taught me how to focus on those internal messages in my everyday life. Fiona is a marvellous focusing teacher and guide; what you learn from her, you will remember your whole life.”

Paul Sloan, Vienna.


What Is IRF?

Inner Relationship Focusing is an evidence based process that helps you sense more deeply what is keeping you from moving forward.

It moves beyond using just rational thinking to help you solve your problems.

Originating in research carried out in the University of Chicago by Eugene Gendlin, it draws on how some people - successful in making changes in their lives - related to themselves.

My story with IRF.

I developed extreme anxiety as a consequence of being seriously ill for many years. I was drawn to the work of Dr Claire Weekes who claimed that anxiety would heal if you accepted it.

There were parts of me that really wanted to accept, but other parts that simply couldn’t. I tried many techniques and methods, but none helped me really relax.

I finally found IRF which in just one session helped me ‘be with’ extremely difficult and intense feelings. It resulted in a changed inner relationship to anxious parts which has resulted in far less anxiety in my life.

I recently experienced a serious car crash, and the loss of a parent, and was able to feel through each unflinchingly in ways that made them much easier.

  • A gentle partnership with my inner self

    "Unlike other approaches, Focusing felt like a gentle partnership with my inner self, where I could move at my own pace."
