Leichhardt Counselling & Psychotherapy
IFS in Sydney's Inner West
Welcoming All Parts of You
Services
1
Anxiety & Depression
As you identify and explore the parts of you linked to anxiety and depression symptoms, you discover their origin, history and entrenched beliefs. As part of this process, parts may unburden what they have carried and the intensity and frequency of symptoms can be significantly reduced.
2
Navigating Overwhelming Emotions
You can address overwhelming emotions by understanding that external expressions are driven by internal yearnings for connection. With IFS, you explore these behaviours and big feelings as parts of yourself, not your whole identity, which leads to deeper self-discovery and fulfillment of your underlying needs.
3
Relationships In Daily Life
IFS therapy offers a way to address relationship struggles, disconnection, intimacy issues, difficulty expressing emotions, or conflicts involving communication issues or infidelity. As you connect more internally, this is reflected in healthier external relationship dynamics.
4
Personal Development
IFS helps uncover hidden aspects and depths within you, enriching life with new awareness and continuous growth. This deepened self-knowledge fosters more fulfilling relationships and inner peace. By honouring both rational and intuitive parts, you can achieve a fuller sense of vitality and presence.
5
Life Transitions
Change is constant, and when you face transitions and adjustments, parts of you respond in different ways - often simultaneously. This can cause inner turmoil and even stuckness. As you look at what is happening through the lens of parts who may hold opposing views, you can experience less frustration and more internal ease.
Investment
Choosing Your Investments
There is a reason you are considering investing in therapy and it most likely has something to do with living your best life. You invest in yourself in many ways, your physical health and fitness, your social life, your appearance, maybe your spiritual life, financial life and your relationships. You invest with your time, emotional and physical energy and your money. You invest in what you perceive to be of value.
Living our best life?
On a personal investment note, the biggest turning points for me in living my best life have been as a direct result of my own personal counselling - the unconditional love and positive regard, and the challenges offered to me from my therapists. I have discovered that living my best life means discovering how I can best give and receive love. I continue to discover what makes this seemingly simple concept less straightforward than I expected. I am wildly far from perfect in this arena but the biggest and ongoing gift for me has been becoming ok with this..accepting my imperfections with love…through experience. I continue to learn and experience a lot on this journey of discovery.
Cost Benefit Analysis? My Personal Experience
The impact for me has been in revelations made, and the ensuing choices and paths I have taken in my rocky, delightful, excruciating and amazing human journey to date. I have been fortunate and am grateful that every counsellor and therapist has been such a gift to me as they have shown me the value of therapy. I hope to continue to pass on the gifts I have received as I know this is not everyone’s experience. The investments I have made towards therapy have been 150% beneficial and worth it, (even though I may not have always said that at the time!)
Accessibility
A significant way my therapy journey has been made possible over time is due to the generosity in fees from my therapists- making therapy accessible to me.
So.. it is an investment that is priceless yet there is a cost. In light of this, my fee structure reflects this as best as possible. Hopefully you can find something that fits you, both at the stage of life you find yourself and that also reflects the value you place on the personal investment you are making.
