Hello
My name is Charly El Kashory and I am a registered person-centred therapist specialising in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
I provide a calm and compassionate online or in person space to help you explore your inner world and connect with your true Self.
We can work together to bring healing and harmony to the parts of you that feel lost, stuck or in pain.
Whether you're hoping to process past trauma or you are seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I’m here to support and guide you at the pace that feels right for you, with empathy and care.
My Story
My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about the human mind and relationships. Like many, I’ve faced my own emotional challenges, and through my personal experiences with therapy, I discovered the incredible potential for healing and growth. It became clear to me that true transformation happens when we prioritise and make space for it. This realisation set me on a path to support others do the same.
making space
I believe therapy is about making space both physically and emotionally, for healing, self-reflection, and growth. Trauma often limits our ability to access that space, causing us to react from places of pain or fear.
Making Space Therapy is centered on creating that inner room for your true self to take charge, rather than being dominated by parts carrying pain, fear, or self-criticism. When we make space within, we gain clarity, self-compassion, and the freedom to respond to life in new, more intentional ways. As Viktor Frankl said,
“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
By prioritising space for yourself and your healing journey, you’re making the conscious choice to reconnect with who you truly are and live in alignment with your values and desires. Through this process, you can let go of emotional burdens and create room for a life that feels more authentic, compassionate, and free.
