Improving Self-Worth and Enhancing Relationships with Online IFS Therapy
You feel anxious in romantic relationships, constantly worried about not being enough, or questioning whether the relationship is right for you.
You have a hard time setting boundaries, often saying "yes" when you want to say "no” and prioritising others’ needs at the expense of your own.
There is a sense of unworthiness that’s been there as long as you can remember and an inner critic that keeps reminding you of your past mistakes.
Sound familiar?
I see you.
When parts of you feel worthless, it is difficult to fully see your own value, strengths and abilities.
When you're constantly dealing with inner criticism, self-doubt, and perfectionism, being yourself in relationships seems like an impossible task.
You might find yourself in relationships where you give more than you receive, or where you never quite feel safe and secure.
How IFS Therapy Can Help
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy offers a compassionate and insightful approach to working with the parts of you that struggle with self-worth.
Through IFS, we can:
Identify and understand the parts of you that feel unworthy: We’ll explore where these feelings come from and how they impact your relationships.
Build a new relationship with your inner critic or perfectionist: Instead of trying to fight or silence them, discover a new way of working together with these parts with more calm and compassion.
Heal from past wounds: By addressing the root causes of low self-worth, we can begin to heal the parts of you that feel unworthy, and transform how you see yourself.
Develop healthy boundaries: We’ll work on setting boundaries that honour your needs and help you build more balanced relationships.
Access more self-trust: You’ll learn to trust your instincts and decisions, feeling more confident in your interactions with others.
It is possible to find your way to more self-acceptance and fulfilling connections.
FAQs

We typically start by talking about how you've been feeling or whether there's anything that's happened since we last saw each other that you'd like to bring into therapy.
From there, we might do some insight work, which involves closing your eyes (if that feels comfortable for you), going inward, and connecting with different parts of you.
Sessions are often a mix of regular conversation and direct connection with your parts. How much time we spend on each depends on what feels most comfortable and useful to you.

This depends on your goals, how far along you are in your healing journey, and your own unique life experiences. Most clients I work with are in therapy for at least 6 months. That said, you can always end the therapy when you feel like it’s time.
