Internal Family Systems Therapy North Sydney & Online
Crawf is a PACFA-registered clinical counsellor and Internal Family Systems therapist working with people healing trauma, improving relationships, and seeking clarity or direction in life.

Therapy for Trauma
Trauma therapy helps you understand the protective patterns that formed around past pain. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we work gently with the parts of you that carry fear, overwhelm, or shame. Together we create space for safety, stability, and healing so you can move through life with more ease and inner strength.
Therapy for Relationships
Relationship therapy explores the patterns that shape how you connect, react, and protect yourself with others. Through IFS, we look beneath conflict to the emotions and parts driving your responses. This approach helps you build clearer boundaries, deeper communication, and more secure, satisfying relationships with partners, family, friends — and yourself.
Therapy for Life
Life therapy supports you when you feel stuck, unfulfilled, or unsure of your next step. We explore the parts of you that hold fear, doubt, or pressure, along with the deeper Self that wants clarity and purpose. This work reconnects you with confidence, creativity, and the sense of direction you’ve been seeking.
Everything I’ve lived through — the challenges, the growth, the mistakes, and the turning points - has shaped the therapist I am today. These experiences have made me softer, stronger and more deeply committed to helping others move through trauma, relationship patterns, and moments of uncertainty in their lives. My work blends clinical training, business experience, and mind–body practices, using insight and compassion to support genuine, lasting change.
About Me
My Therapeutic Approach
I offer therapy grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that helps you understand the inner parts that have developed to manage stress, anxiety, and past emotional pain. Rather than trying to eliminate or control these patterns, we work to understand and respect the protective role they’ve played in your life. As these parts feel heard and supported, they naturally begin to relax, allowing deeper healing to unfold. Together, we reconnect you with your true Self—a calm, wise presence beneath the noise—so you can move through life with greater clarity, balance, confidence, and direction.

Shift from chasing reassurance to trusting your own judgment, your pace, and your inner clarity.
✅ A Voice You Feel Safe to Use
Move from staying quiet or keeping the peace to expressing what you truly think and need—without fear or guilt.
✅ Change Without Self-Doubt
Navigate transitions without collapsing into old patterns, pressure, or fear of failing.
✅ Compassion for Your Perfectionist Parts
Understand the parts that push, drive, and demand so much—so they can soften without losing the strengths they’ve given you.
✅ More Energy, Less Burnout
If you’ve been pushing through for too long, it starts to show.
IFS helps you understand what’s draining you so you can regain energy that feels real—not forced.
✅ Boundaries Without Guilt
Learn to say no without panic and yes without resentment—by working with the parts that try to keep everyone happy.
