Breakup Recovery with Online IFS Therapy for Deep Feelers & Sensitive Minds

Heal, process, and rebuild your inner world after a relationship ends

BOOK A FREE CONSULTATION

The pain of a breakup runs deeper than it appears.

When someone you love leaves your life, it’s not just a loss of companionship, it can feel like a loss of self.

  • You may feel fragmented, torn between yearning and anger

  • You replay memories, wondering what you missed or could’ve done differently

  • It can stir up old wounds of abandonment, shame, or fear

  • You might even lose trust in your capacity to love or to be loved

If you’ve been told to “just move on,” or had your grief minimised – you’re not alone.

You deserve a space where your pain is taken seriously.

How IFS Therapy Helps to Recover from Breakups

IFS (Internal Family Systems) is especially powerful for healing after breakups because it helps you process all the different and sometimes conflicting feelings you might have.

A breakup rarely brings just one emotion – it can feel like you’re being pulled in many directions at once.

With IFS, we’ll work in a way that allows you to:

  • Make sense of conflicting feelings
    One part of you might want to get back together, another feels angry, another is relieved, and another is excited about the future. IFS gives all of these parts room to be heard and understood.

  • Process both old and new pain
    Breakups often stir up not only the fresh grief of losing someone but also older wounds: times you’ve felt abandoned, rejected, or not enough. With IFS, we can gently work with both layers of pain.

  • Care for the parts that are hurting most
    Instead of pushing feelings away, we learn how to be with them in a manageable way, which helps them soften over time.

  • Discover clarity and direction
    As your inner world starts to feel less chaotic, you gain more clarity about what you want moving forward – both in relationships and in how you relate to yourself.

What shifts over time

Breakup recovery is rarely linear. Still, my clients often describe:

  • A calmer inner landscape, fewer obsessive thoughts

  • A stronger sense of boundaries and emotional safety

  • Less blame, guilt, or shame toward yourself or your ex

  • A deeper understanding of your relationship patterns

  • New possibilities for connecting, loving, and being with yourself

Who this is for

This therapy is especially suited for you if:

  • It feels like this breakup has wounded you more than it “should”

  • The pain is stirring up past wounds

  • You’re exhausted by platitudes like “just move on”

  • You find yourself repeating the same patterns

  • You want depth, not surface-level fixes

My approach

  • I offer online therapy in English (available in Sweden, the UK, Europe, and Asia)

  • Sessions are 50 minutes, usually weekly or bi-weekly, but we can adjust depending on your needs

  • I provide a non-judgmental, LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamy-affirming space

  • You don’t need to have the breakup “finalised” – whether you’re going back and forth, unsure if it’s really over, or still hoping to reconcile, we can start from where you are.

 FAQs

  • It varies depending on your situation and what comes up during therapy. Some people start feeling more grounded within a few months, while others choose to work longer-term to deeply explore relational patterns and attachment wounds. We'll move at a pace that respects your process.

  • Absolutely not. Therapy is here to support you while you're still feeling the full range of emotions: love, longing, anger, sadness, confusion. You don't have to "be done" with anything to start.

  • That’s something we can explore together without judgment. Parts of you may hold different hopes and fears, and therapy can help you get clearer on what your whole system truly needs, rather than making a pressured decision.

  • Many of my clients have done previous therapy. IFS brings a different lens: instead of just talking about the breakup or analysing it intellectually, we will get to know the parts of you that hold deep emotions and beliefs about love and relationships. This can often bring a deeper level of healing.

  • Yes. I welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures. I have extensive experience working with people who are queer and/or non-monogamous.

  • Of course. While I specialise in supporting sensitive and neurodivergent people, you don't need any specific identity or label to seek support here. If you resonate with the way I work, you’re welcome.
