We believe in the beauty of the Internal Family Systems model — our wish is to share it with you all…

Introducing & guiding you through the practices of IFS

Welcome to OneSelf! We are committed to making professional development training in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model accessible to all. Through this systemic practice, we invite individuals to explore their inner worlds, promoting growth and healing within a supportive community. 

IFS is a powerful tool for personal growth and professional development, ideal for practitioners from diverse healing backgrounds. Whether enhancing your personal journey or supporting your clients, this model offers valuable insights that can transform your practice. 

With recent changes limiting access for practitioners to IFS trainings, we aim to bridge that gap by offering high-quality workshops in a welcoming space.

We invite you to join our community and discover how this model can enhance your practice, promoting connection and well-being for you and those you support.

“OneSelf’ provided an incredible training opportunity for 20 of the Kids Inspire team. We are a registered mental health and trauma recovery charity. The team of qualified and accredited counsellors and psychotherapists are unique in their wide range of creative trauma informed approaches offered to children and families struggling to engage in family and peer relationships and in education. . They have been delighted with the opportunity to become IFS informed and therefore to enhance their work and achieve positive outcomes with our service users. Elise and Christiane ‘talk the talk’ and ‘walk the walk’ of the IFS core principles through their clear, engaging and deeply knowledgeable delivery. The richness of the experience of learning, experiencing and practising IFS together has been awe inspiring. I highly recommend this training to individuals and teams. It is certainly an investment in professional and personal development that I am delighted we made.”

—Sue Bell, OBE, DL (CEO and Clinical Director of Kids Inspire).

Meet Us

  • Elise started her journey as a bodywork therapist in her early twenties, then becoming a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist in 2008. She built a highly successful practice in Bath based on treating the mind and body as one. In pursuit of a holistic approach to trauma therapy, she was drawn to the work of Dr Peter Levine and in 2015 she qualified as a Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapist (SEP). This led her to a deep interest in the work of Richard C Schwartz PhD, the creator of IFS, and trained with the IFS Institute, becoming a level 3 certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner. Elise has supported many IFS UK training courses as a member of their senior assisting staff and was inspired to co-found OneSelf to bring the IFS model to a broader community.

  • Christiane’s journey in the healing arts began in the late 1990s with a deep immersion in Classical Homeopathy. She ran a practice in Bath while also sharing her knowledge as a lecturer for the International School of Homeopathy, London. In 2016, Christiane first heard Richard Schwartz speak and was profoundly moved by the depth and wisdom of his teachings. Drawn to the transformative power of Internal Family Systems (IFS), she trained extensively with the IFS Institute, becoming a Certified Level 3 practitioner. Today, Christiane has a busy practice in Box, just outside Bath, where she works with individuals and couples. She also holds the role of a senior programme assistant (PA) on IFS trainings. Inspired by their shared vision, she co-founded OneSelf with Elise, with the intention of bringing IFS to a broader community.
