Therapy NorthWest IFS Consultation, Training and Retreat Services

I've done two courses: Transforming trauma and the intro to polyvagal work and been on a 3-day retreat. I can highly recommend each of them! I'm so thankful that Zandra has made IFS work accessible to therapists seeking to bring it into their practice. The teaching space was highly immersive and experiential, really comprehensive, and most importantly really emotionally safe.

I was honoured to attend the Women who Run with the Wolves Retreat where Zandra and Elham created a beautiful space to be vulnerable, to laugh, to cry, to sing and to dance. If anyone is looking to connect wih the deeper parts of themselves and to be received with love, acceptance and compassion then I can't recommend this retreat enough. I'll be holding on to this experience for as long as possible and hope to infuse some of what was inspired into my life and work. Thank you so much x

I attended the women that run with wolves IFS retreat and absolutely loved it…it was a profoundly moving, heart and mind journey, compassionately held by Zandra, Lynn and Sally. Thank you

I was new to IFS when I decided to attend the women that run with the wolves retreat which spoke to me on a professional and personal level. It was everything I had hoped for and more. And I will hold the experience and the women I shared it with close to my heart always. Huge thanks to Zandra, Lynn and Sally who held our group beautifully, with such authenticity and compassion. Like others I would highly recommend

Thank you for a fantastic retreat Women who run with the Wolves! Beautifully curated by Zandra with a range of fantastic rituals and practices, underpinned by the IFS ethos, and wonderfully and safely held by Zandra, Lynn and Sally. I would highly recommend 🙏😊

This was a truly eye-opening training for me both personally and professionally. I thought I had a good understanding of parts work from recorded workshops I'd attended but this training went so much deeper and was delivered with incredible care and attention. Zandra's years of training and practice in IFS along with her gentle compssionate approach shone through and helped create a beautiful group energy that allowed for vulnerability. It's all you need to get going with parts work 💞

The training was transformational. Zandra is an incredible trainer and creates such a safe space to experience IFS so that the learning goes way beyond head-based understanding. I can't recommend it highly enough - it has already had a huge impact professionally and personally and the ongoing support from the group is so valuable.

Zandra was amazing, and the course was one of the best I’ve attended. There was such an attention to practical learning, growth and I would recommend this course to anyone interested in IFS.

I was recommended to attend the Transforming Trauma: IFS competency programme and it's the best advice I've ever been given. The training was engaging, interactive and in truth, life changing. It was a well balanced mix of didactic teaching, interactive practice and self-reflection. Zandra created a very safe, supportive and nurturing space where I was able to grow myself professionally and personally. This has changed my practice for the better and I look forward to continuing with more IFS!

This training has been life changing, personally, professionally, spiritually. I would wholeheartedly recommend it. The 9 day transforming trauma course has enabled me to begin using IFS with clients. It is an experiential course, which Zandra delivers in an incredibly compassionate caring way, whilst also covering a huge amount of content on the IFS process.

I have attended several of the IFS related programmes and have found them to be engaging and Immersive opportunities to grow and connect with other practitioners in a safe and supportive space. I am grateful to have found this approach and Zandra as a guide, it’s truly life changing both professionally and personally.

Well planned courses as an introduction to IFS, incorporating lots of good practice like mindfulness, yoga and demonstrations. Gentle, deep work by very skilled practitioners who bring the group together and create a space for compassion and shared learning. One is well held by the team. Very well paced leaving adequate time for processing.

Well planned and paced retreat with a great combination of wide ranging and lovely embodied and reflective practices and time for connection with others and with self.  Held beautifully by Zandra and other supportive therapists. I felt nourished and nurtured and most importantly for me, safe - to do some deep dive work as well as have fun! A heartfelt thank you!

Once again, a deeply welcome space for learning, healing, connecting and re-charging tired therapist batteries in a beautiful place. So appreciated Zandra's experience, gentle wisdom and loving humour during this retreat and very much looking forward to the ifs trauma training.

I have attended a retreat, trauma training and consultation groups. Zandra is a wonderful educator and leader, above all she is a kind and gentle person who has helped me better understand myself. Through my experiences within the groups I have developed more compassion towards myself and this has helped me enormously in my practice as a therapist. Every event is so well organised and beautifully facilitated. I highly recommend booking a place.

Sandra’s retreat was a lovely space to connect with parts of my self and with others. It’s emotional at times but also deeply nurturing.

Such a safely held, nourishing and rejuvenating 3 days. The venue, the facilitators and practices were so carefully carried out. I have left feeling seen, connected and a sense of calmness I have never experienced before. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
