House of Self - IFS Intensives
You understand the pattern. You know where it came from. And still, something hasn’t moved.
A two-day therapeutic immersion with Kathryn Grace, Occupational Therapist & IFS Facilitator.
There’s a particular kind of stuck that doesn’t look like stuck from the outside.
A deeper space for the seasons that ask more of us.
You've done the work. You can name your patterns and understand where they came from. You could probably explain your own psychology more clearly than most people could explain theirs.
And still, something underneath hasn't moved.
You know more, but you don't necessarily feel more free, and the distance between those two things can become its own kind of grief.
Maybe you're standing in the middle of something. A marriage that ended, or is ending. A loss you're still carrying. The disorientation of becoming a mother. A version of yourself that no longer fits the life you built around her.
A threshold of some kind, where the old way of being doesn't work anymore, the new one hasn't arrived yet, and you're somewhere in between trying to keep functioning while something much larger moves through you.
This is for the woman in that doorway.
Why an Intensive?
Most therapy happens in 50–60 minute sessions. That rhythm can be incredibly valuable, and sometimes, there are seasons where you want more uninterrupted space.
In an intensive, we don't need to compress everything into the hour or immediately wrap up just as something meaningful begins to emerge.
Instead, we have extended, protected time to slow down, follow what is arising, work with the parts and patterns that emerge, and pause when your system needs to pause.
The intention isn't to force a breakthrough or rush your process.
It's to give the process more room.
If you've ever been on retreat and experienced that particular feeling of finally having enough time to arrive without immediately needing to pack yourself back up again, that's perhaps the closest comparison.
This is for you if….
You've done significant personal or therapeutic work and can feel the difference between understanding a pattern and actually experiencing something different.
You're moving through a meaningful transition: grief, relationship change, motherhood, identity, burnout, or a season you can't quite name and want dedicated space to meet what's happening.
You notice yourself functioning well on the outside while carrying much more internally than people realise.
Weekly sessions don't currently appeal to you, and you'd prefer a concentrated period of work with preparation and integration around it.
You're drawn to IFS, relational and embodied approaches and want enough time to explore your inner experience without constantly watching the clock.
You've experienced moments of feeling more grounded, clear or connected to yourself and want to deepen your relationship with that place.
You're already familiar with IFS and would like a more immersive opportunity to explore your parts and internal system.
What to expect when we work together ↓
-
We start with a 20-minute conversation, a chance to get a feel for each other, talk through what you're carrying, and make sure this is the right fit. If it is, we'll talk through timing and next steps.
-
Before we meet, you'll receive a detailed intake form. This is where you share your story, your patterns, what you're hoping to shift. It means our time together starts from a place of depth rather than catching up.
-
We meet for 90 minutes, one to three weeks before your intensive day. We review your intake, align on what we're working with, and begin. Often this session opens things up in ways that set the tone for everything that follows.
-
2 consecutive days of 3 hours. This is the heart of the work. Unhurried, uninterrupted, and entirely yours.
You'll also receive a pre-recorded embodiment session, a therapeutic yin yoga practice and guided meditation to support your processing and integration.
-
We meet again for 90 minutes, one to three weeks after your intensive. This is where we look at what moved, what's settling, and how to bring it into your actual life. Integration is part of the work, not an afterthought.
(9live contact hours + recorded embodiment and integration practices)

Is an intensive right for me?
An intensive isn't necessarily the right format for everyone or every season. Before booking, we'll have a consultation to explore what you're hoping to work with, your current supports and whether an extended format feels appropriate for you.
For some people, ongoing therapy or another form of support may be a better fit. If I don't believe an intensive is the most appropriate option, I'll be transparent about that.

Hi, I’m Kathryn
For most of my life, people described me as calm.
I wasn't calm. I was just very good at managing the surface while my inner world felt like a minefield.
I could mould myself into almost any room, relationship or version of who seemed to be needed and I did, for years.
A personality test once called me agreeable. It haunted me. Because agreeable wasn't how I felt inside. It was what happened when I stopped trusting that who I actually was would be enough.
That gap between how we appear and how we actually feel is terrain I know intimately.
I'm Kathryn Jury, a registered Occupational Therapist (AHPRA), and my work draws together relational Internal Family Systems, embodiment and depth-oriented psychological work.

FAQs

It's a powerful, immersive way to work with Internal Family Systems without the pressure of weekly sessions. Instead of trying to squeeze deep work into 50-minute appointments, intensives give us space to stay with the process.
You're not skipping steps, you're giving yourself the gift of uninterrupted time and full presence. The healing is just as deep (often deeper), because your system has space to soften, integrate, and shift.
You’re also supported with embodiment practices and tools to support your experience. -
This is for you if:
You're feeling stuck in familiar patterns and want to feel movement now
You've been carrying something heavy, a trauma, a stressor, a recurring emotional pattern and you're ready to meet it fully
You're short on time but deeply committed to your healing
Weekly sessions feel too slow, or hard to sustain in your current season of life
If you're unsure, just reach out. A conversation is always the best place to start.
-
It’s a different shape of work. Weekly sessions build slowly, a piece at a time, with a week of ordinary life between each one. An intensive gives you a long, unbroken stretch where you can stay in a process without the clock pulling you out just as something opens. For some people, in some seasons, that kind of uninterrupted room is what finally lets something move. Whether it’s right for you depends less on which is “better” and more on what your system is ready for.
-
Once you've booked a free consult, I'll get to know you and what you're holding right now. If we both feel it's a fit, I'll offer you upcoming dates.
Before we meet, I'll send you a short pre-session workbook so I can really situate myself in your inner world and tailor our time to you. This isn't cookie-cutter. It's custom, personal, and deeply attuned.
-
Step 1: Book a free 20-minute consult
Step 2: We'll connect on Zoom and explore whether this format feels like a good fit
Step 3: If yes, I'll share available dates and next steps
Step 4: A deposit secures your space, and I’ll send you your pre-work

Yes, completely virtual. You stay home, and this is actually a positive.
The depth of this work doesn’t exist in a physical room. It loves and breathes in the attunement between us, and in the time we give it, both of which travel perfectly well through a screen.
You get to drop in to the process in a space already familiar to you. Before we begin, you will receive a guide on how to prepare your space and your morning, so it lands as an immersion, rather than just an appointment in your calendar. -
IFS is a leading internationally recognised, sophisticated trauma-informed model that understands we're all made up of parts, inner protectors, exiles, and deeper aspects of Self.
Some parts push, some avoid, some perform, some spiral. IFS helps you meet each one with compassion, not shame. It's about listening, understanding, and restoring harmony from the inside out.
IFS is the umbrella I work under, however I carry experience and training from relational and somatic frameworks and wisdom traditions. -
The list is wide, but here are some examples:
Emotional burnout / Self-discovery & personal growth / Long-held grief / Inner conflict & parts polarisation / Self-doubt and identity confusion / Trauma healing and integration / Relationship ruptures / Big decisions and transitions / Patterns that insight alone hasn't shifted / Self-esteem / Sex & intimacy / Anxiety / Spirituality & spiritual exploration
The work doesn't stop here.
