Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Uppsala
I customize my approach to fit you, leaning on modalities like IFS and DBT that allow for big feelings and focus on self-acceptance.
You're living far from home, and things have been feeling heavy. As a newcomer (especially if you have or suspect ADHD), even simple things take SO much effort. You feel isolated, overwhelmed, and you don’t understand why everyone else seems to find this so easy. Maybe your partner doesn’t get why you can't just enjoy your life here - but you want to! You just need to find tools that actually work. You dream of feeling at home, making friends, finding your rhythm and thriving - not just surviving. You’re ready for a real change, but you’re not sure where to begin.

My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems ( IFS)—an evidence-based method for building trust and connection with all parts of yourself and creating lasting inner change.
Are you a highly sensitive person or deep thinker dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, or inner criticism? Were you were a gifted kid expected to go far—and now find yourself burned out instead?
You’re not broken—you’re wired differently. I offer a space where you can slow down, listen inward, and meet the parts of you carrying pain, pressure, or exhaustion. Together, we’ll untangle the beliefs and patterns keeping you stuck—so you can feel more grounded, make clearer choices, and connect more fully with yourself and others. It's possible to move through life with more ease—without leaving any part of you behind.

IFS Therapy helps you to explore hard-to-reach-places within yourself, in a safe space for introspection, embracing your emotions and beliefs without judgments.
Having worked with clients over the years, I've seen many of them feeling stuck and lacking control in their personal and professional lives. They express hopelessness, frustration or fatigue. Changes such as children leaving, challenging relationships, loss, work-stress, hormonal shifts or trauma often lead them to question their identity and purpose, leaving them wondering, "What now?"

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Counsellors
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
