Ciro Coelho is an Internal Family Systems Level 3–trained Practitioner and Certified Integral Coach who works with individual clients worldwide and facilitates several ongoing IFS groups. His clients include, among others, IFS Trainers, Therapists, Coaches, and other helping professionals who seek a deeply attuned, Self-led container and precise guidance within the model.

His work is grounded in rigorous professional training and more than four decades of lived experience overcoming chronic depression. That lived experience informs the depth, precision, and compassion he brings to his work. Ciro offers a grounded, integrative approach that honors psychological depth while supporting clarity, agency, and meaningful forward movement. Sessions are rooted in Internal Family Systems and enriched by Polyvagal Theory, Nonviolent Communication, Integral Theory, Mindfulness, and Meditation.

Since 2020, Ciro has been facilitating online groups that support participants in reconnecting with their inner wisdom and making life choices from a clear, internally anchored sense of agency. In his group work, he draws on advanced training in Chris Burris’s Creating Healing Circles model, an IFS-based approach to group facilitation that emphasizes intentional group process, relational safety, and access to corrective relational experiences.

Today, Ciro works with individuals navigating depression, crisis, and major life transitions, as well as those seeking greater agency and freedom of choice in their lives. His approach integrates two inseparable movements of change:

Resolving what remains unfinished from the past

and

Building the internal capacities required for an empowered, purposeful future.

His approach is integrative: sustainable transformation requires both unburdening obsolete protective patterns shaped by earlier experience and actively cultivating the developmental skills that allow life to move forward.

His work includes:

• 1:1 IFS-based sessions supporting deep, regulated inner work

• Integral developmental coaching focused on capacity-building and forward action

• Facilitation of IFS groups on themes including depression recovery, psychedelic guiding skills, life transitions, relational patterns, and groups for therapists and practitioners

• Multilingual support (English, Portuguese, French) for international clients

• Specialized guidance for those rebuilding life after long-term depression
