While it has a growing evidence base for one-on-one therapy, IFS therapy can also be used effectively for clients in group therapy and also for clinicians in group supervision and group consultation. One of the lessons we have learned in providing IFS group therapy has been this: while there are benefits the client can achieve in individual therapy which cannot be obtained in the group space, there are also benefits that can be obtained in group therapy that simply cannot be obtained in the individual space. The power of being witnessed by peers and the impact of magnified Self energy in the group therapy space is directly linked to these benefits. The same can be said of IFS group supervision and consultation with the benefits for therapists being enhanced purely by virtue of sharing the space with fellow therapists. This presentation will outline three possible options for IFS group offerings and provide opportunities for those interested to join already available groups or set up their own.
