IFS Counselling & Psychotherapy

Welcome, my name is Gayle Williamson. I’m an accredited member of the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (IACP) and offer individual Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy for persons over the age of 18, IFS group supervision, IFS consultation sessions and IFS group training for practitioners in a comfortable environment in Phibsboro, Dublin 7, as well as online via Zoom.

THERE are many reasons why people choose to enter therapy and I appreciate that it’s often not an easy decision to make. I have a special interest in trauma as well as anxiety, which is so prevalent among people of all ages; and I’m passionate about equipping clients with the skills to heal.

A key component of this is helping clients to develop a better, more compassionate relationship with the different parts of themselves.

At Ferney House, I offer Internal Family Systems therapy, IFS training and IFS group supervision, and the issues I work with include:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks
  • Stress 
  • Abuse and trauma
  • Chronic pain
  • Depression
  • Poor self-esteem and lack of confidence
  • Grief and loss
  • Anger 
  • Personal development

*** Upcoming event: I’LL be giving an in-person introductory talk on Internal Family Systems therapy in Dublin this month, giving participants an accessible overview of the model and the chance to get to know one of your own parts during an optional experiential exercise.

It’s in aid of the Dublin Simon Community Counselling Service, and is hosted by the Weekend University in partnership with the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Hope to meet you there!


Date: Thursday April 25, 6.30pm to 9pm
