Ambarisa Crisfield
Registered Clinical Counsellor & Psychotherapist
MA Counselling • BSc Health Science (Naturopathy)
My practice is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), supported by EMDR, somatic, and compassion-focused approaches within a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming framework.
I support clients navigating trauma, relational challenges, life transitions, shame, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other forms of neurodiversity, guided by deep respect for each person's inner wisdom and capacity for healing.
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS)?
IFS therapy is a gentle way of getting to know your inner world — the many different parts of you and the ways they think, feel, and respond. By understanding and listening to these parts, the Self can begin to work together with these parts, rather than against each other, creating more clarity, balance, and self-compassion.
In this process, we can begin to heal parts that hold pain or trauma, release old protective patterns, and open space for new ways of being.
Benefits of IFS
IFS can support deep and lasting change, helping you to feel lighter and more at ease, respond to life's challenges with greater choice and calm, and grow in connection, acceptance, and compassion — both for yourself and others.
