IFS Practitioner
or IFS Therapist?

Experientially, working with an IFS practitioner or an IFS therapist is equivalent. Personal fit and style of work have a much greater impact on the effectiveness of the work and how it feels.

The main things that set my practice apart from a therapist’s are about role and scope rather than how the work feels: I don't diagnose or treat mental health conditions, I don't provide clinical assessments, and I don't keep a clinical record.

There are also forms of support that fall outside my scope but may be within a therapist's. If something arises that calls for specialized care (and I'll be honest with you if I think it does), I may recommend or even require that you have additional support alongside our work. Examples of situations that might call for it are certain mental health conditions that need ongoing clinical management, an acute psychiatric crisis, or the presence of domestic abuse. If the need ever arises, I'll be there to help you find the right kind of support.
