IFS Therapy in Brighton - Sunrise Healing — Counsellor in Brighton, England

Over the course of 4 years of working with her, Carly has not only helped me to navigate some seriously challenging times in my life, but she has actually equipped me with tools that have enabled me to navigate difficult and painful episodes, even when she is not there. This has been life changing. The modality that she uses is called ‘Internal Family Systems’ (which in my opinion is a slightly misleading name…it’s not about your biological family!) but essentially is a system that has allowed me to feel and look at things that I was previously pushing away. By doing so, physical and emotional pain has has lessened and often dissolved, old stories have resolved themselves and my relationships have transformed. In many sessions I also got insights and clarity into where the pain had originated or why it was so raw. One of the things I love about working with Carly is the way she holds the space - she has a special ability to very quickly guide me into a place where I am relaxed, more curious and compassionate towards myself. I wish I had her voice as my inner monologue all the time! Alongside her kind and gentle manner I really appreciate how serious she is about the work. She is always incredible switched on and attentive and ensures that we give full attention to things that come up, so that they can be seen and resolved. It’s not just 'love and light', I can see that Carly genuinely wants to help me make real progress, even when things feel confusing or painful. I look forward to sessions with Carly because I know I will always come away with something special, whether its an insight, a feeling of having practised a kinder way to show up for myself, or simply a more relaxed body and nervous system! Thank you Carly for everything you do.

Carly is not only an excellent, dedicated therapist, fully committed to her clients’ growth and healing, but also one of the kindest, warmest, most sensitive, and most compassionate people I’ve ever met. I’ve been seeing Carly for weekly psychotherapy sessions following the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. Her empathetic and deeply understanding way of working, paired with the uniquely powerful IFS approach, has allowed me to understand, soften, and gently shift some of the deepest and oldest patterns I have long struggled with. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone wishing to meet themselves with kindness, integrate traumatic experiences, ease the protection around old, unfelt pain, and grow into a resilient, openhearted human being in a challenging world.

What a gifted healer. I have regular healing sessions with Carly and it's always amazing. Her abilities are powerful, she has a lot of empathy and knowledge. I always leave feeling balanced, light, and full of love. Thank you so much Carly.

I have worked with Carly for nearly two years and the experience has been nothing short of life-changing. Having tried various different healing modalities over the years, for me IFS is the one that has WORKED, by which I mean creating observable, real, enduring change. Carly is a beautiful human being who holds a very clear, boundaried space, creating trust and safety which has allowed my system to open up at a speed that is right for me. I plan to keep working long-term with Carly and I would whole-heartedly recommend her and IFS.

Every week I feel growth! I have never experienced this type of therapy before, (IFS) and with the kind and supportive energy Carly holds I feel very open to explore freely. Each session I find myself super refreshed by the energy and self- love am lovingly guided through. I also have accompanied my therapy with reiki healing to balance my energy , and it was a throughly fruitful experience giving me deep relaxation. The best thing I have done to regulate myself in years... I highly recommend!

I had a lovely experience in therapy with Carly. She is ever so gentle, professional and caring. The therapy is so lovely and calming. Carly is very experienced and supportive at every stage of the process. I highly recommend this technique as a beautiful way to connect to inner self, get better understanding of the way mind and emotions work within the self and learn helpful techniques to get through a challenging times. Thank you Carly you are truly outstanding therapist.

Carly has a gentle, authentic, empowered, calm and warm way about her. I knew she was the right therapist for me to work with as soon as I heard her voice. Though the IFS work we are doing together I have learnt more and had more insights and genuine breakthroughs and healing than in any other talking therapy I have done before. I look forward to our sessions each week and am left feeling calmer and more whole at the end of each one. I am cultivating inner calm and peace, and feel I am healing on a deep level thanks to Carly’s knowledge and thorough guidance. I feel so lucky.

Carly has a nurturing energy. Her ability to carefully listen helps me to feel very comfortable, accepted and heard. Her supportive guidance has been extremely helpful in my journey to have self-compassion for all parts of myself. I am very happy to continue my sessions with her and I highly recommend her!
