Level 3 Internal Family Systems Practitioner, working online with adults across the EU, UK and North America.
Tori Lock
Originally from New Zealand, I’ve lived in Europe since 2016. After studying Education Sciences in Berlin and a career in Learning & Leadership Development in the tech industry, I trained as an IFS practitioner in 2021. As a highly-sensitive person (HSP), I was drawn to IFS for how it places mindfulness, self-compassion and systems thinking at the centre the healing process. It was a relief to train in a modality that didn’t focus on pathology or ‘corrective’ interventions. I believe deeply in the potential of this work to transform lives and the way we all coexist together.
My Story:
I’m dedicated to best practice and take part in weekly peer consultation groups and supervision, not to mention my own personal IFS sessions.
