Loving Every Part of Your Client
A foundations course in Parts Work, grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), for coaches
Every client who sits across from you is more than one voice. They're a system of parts, each with its own perspective, fear, and intention. Drawing on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, this course teaches you how to work with that system directly, starting with your own presence as a coach, so you can meet your clients with more depth, precision, and compassion.
What You'll Learn
How to work with your own parts before a session, so you show up with more Self-energy, calm, curious, and connected, rather than reactive or pulled off-center
A repeatable four-step framework for parts-aware coaching, moving from your own inner work, into contracting with the client, into the coaching itself, and finally into what happens between sessions
How to help a client identify, unblend from, and understand their own parts
How to work with protective parts without triggering resistance
A practical technique for accessing Self quickly, even with a client who challenges you
Who This Is For
This course is built for coaches (and related helping professionals) who want a practical, felt understanding of IFS-informed Parts Work, not just theory, so they can bring it into real sessions with real clients.
Course Format
Foundations-level, no prior training required
Live online, small-group cohort, kept intentionally intimate so there's real practice and feedback, not just lecture
A kickoff session, followed by 6 biweekly sessions (2 hours each), then a Post-Program Coaching Session several weeks after the course ends, giving you time to apply what you've learned before we reconvene
About Your Teacher
I'm Stan Ajemian, a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation. My own relationship with IFS goes back 7 years as a client myself, long before I trained to bring it into my coaching. I'm completing IFS Institute’s IFS Foundations for Coaches program in December 2026, alongside training through Conscious Heart Integration and Coaches Rising's Symphony of Self.
Last year, I taught an earlier version of this material to a small group of ICF Colorado coaches. Several told me afterward that what they learned changed how their own clients showed up in session.

FAQ
-
Coaches, and related helping professionals, who want a practical, felt understanding of parts work to bring into real sessions with real clients.
-
No. This course is foundations-level, so no prior training is required.
-
No. This course teaches Parts Work grounded in Internal Family Systems, but it isn't an official IFS certification. If you're looking for formal IFS certification, I'd suggest looking into the IFS Institute.
-
Only the teaching portions of each session are recorded and shared with participants afterward, so you can revisit the material if you need to. The practice and discussion segments, where the real relational work happens, stay unrecorded, to protect the safety and depth of live participation.
-
Full refunds are available if you cancel before January 6, 2027. After that date, refunds aren't available, but you can transfer your registration to a future cohort. Once the course begins on January 20, spots are no longer refundable or transferable, since the depth of this work depends on a stable, committed group.
-
This cohort is capped at 16 participants, small enough to protect real safety and depth in the live practice work, which is where the heart of this course happens.
