Focusing with Fiona has been one of the most rewarding things I could do for myself. Not only did this course teach me techniques to listen and care for my wellbeing, but it also taught me how to focus on those internal messages in my everyday life. Fiona is a marvellous focusing teacher and guide; what you learn from her, you will remember your whole life." Paul Sloan, Vienna

Really loved all the teaching so far and you are an amazing course leader!  Felix Neubauer, UK

Why Inner Relationship Focusing? 

Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF) is a refined and expanded form of Focusing developed by Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin. It works with ‘parts’ as well as felt senses. Parts can often be in conflict with one another, or hidden from us, and IRF offers an approach of working with these in an educated and compassionate way that can lead to new shifts.

About Fiona:

I was drawn to Focusing through deep suffering. I am improving from chronic illness, which put me in a wheelchair for over 15 years.

Focusing taught me how to work with physical pain and despair, leading to significant bodily shifts.

I am Certified Inner Relationship Focusing Professional and Trainer, as trained by Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin. Based in Dublin, I’m also a professional coach.
