IFS Therapy North Sydney and Online
What is Internal Family Systems Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a unique, compassionate approach that views the mind as composed of multiple parts, each with its motivations and feelings. Some parts protect us, while others may carry pain from past experiences. Beyond these parts, IFS believes in the presence of the Self—a calm, wise, and compassionate core. IFS therapy aims to restore Self-leadership, where the Self guides and harmonises the parts, bringing a sense of inner balance and well-being.
My Style and Therapeutic Approach
IFS aligns with my belief that you are already complete and whole. This approach views the mind as a system of “parts,” or subpersonalities, each with its unique feelings, thoughts, and roles developed to help you navigate life’s challenges. While these parts can sometimes lead to patterns that no longer serve you, IFS sees beyond them to a deeper, inherent Self—your core essence of compassion, calm, and openness. In our work, I help you connect with this Self, empowering it to guide your inner healing process. This makes you your own healer, with me as your guide to help you break free from past patterns, embrace your strengths, and move forward wholeheartedly with your life.
Healing, Growing and Thriving
In my work with you, I help you access your Self-energy and build relationships with your parts. Through this connection, you can release limiting beliefs, heal past wounds, and nurture a deep sense of inner calm. True happiness, after all, is not about becoming someone else. It’s about fully embracing and understanding who you truly are.
