Let’s Work on That
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy in Melbourne and Across Australia
At Let’s Work On That, based in Melbourne, we are passionate about helping people navigate their inner world with compassion and clarity. We offer Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to individuals in Melbourne and across Australia, supporting you to meet and understand every part of yourself. From the overthinker to the avoider, the perfectionist, the inner critic, the exhausted people pleaser, and everything in between.
These parts are not flaws. They are protectors who are clever and resourceful, even if at times intense. Beneath them all is your Self, the calm, clear, compassionate core that remains, even on your worst day.
Our Approach to IFS Therapy
IFS therapy is a gentle yet powerful way of working with trauma, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, and emotional pain. It recognises that every part of you has a role and a story. In our work together, we might meet perfectionist managers, numb or reactive firefighters, and exiled parts carrying burdens of shame, fear, or unworthiness.
We also integrate evidence-based approaches, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Schema Therapy, tailoring each session to meet you where you are. Whether you are processing trauma, navigating emotional reactivity, or breaking free of old patterns, our approach is collaborative and curious. Embodying IFS from the inside out.
IFS for Suicidality, Eating Disorders, and Trauma
We specialise in IFS for suicidality and IFS for eating disorders. In this work, suicidal parts are not treated as pathology but as protectors responding to unbearable pain. Eating disorder symptoms are seen as survival strategies, shaped by unmet needs and a system doing its best to cope.
By using Internal Family Systems Therapy for trauma, we move at the pace of trust, helping you build safety and connection before inviting parts to unburden. This allows deep healing without overwhelming your system.

Here, every part of you is welcome. We honour the strength it takes to reach out and walk beside you as you find your way back to hope, healing, and wholeness.
Here to support all parts of you. Let’s work on that together.
