Frequently Asked Questions | IFS Therapy with Sanni
Answers to common questions about online IFS therapy, what to expect, and how we’ll work together.
-
I offer sessions on a weekly basis only. Consistent weekly sessions create the continuity that allows the work to go deeper, and I've found that this rhythm best supports real and lasting change.
When we start working together, we’ll find a set day and time for our session.
-
Because my calendar has limited spots, I have a limited cancellation policy. This means you have two free cancellations per calendar year, as long as you give at least 48 hours' notice. Any further cancellations are charged at the full fee.
If you can't make a session, let me know at least 48 hours in advance and we can try to reschedule it to the week before, the same week, or the week after. If we can't find a time that suits us both, the missed session is charged.
-
I work 100% online, allowing you to meet with me from the comfort of your home or wherever you might find yourself in the world.
For in-person therapy in Stockholm, I can highly recommend my friend and colleague Anuschka Hallander.
-
I offer therapy online in English for clients across Sweden, the UK, Europe, and Asia.
We meet on Zoom, and you’ll get a private link for our sessions. Many clients actually prefer online sessions; they’re more flexible, easier to fit into your day, and let you meet from a comfortable, private space.
Many of my clients are based in Stockholm and London, or elsewhere in Europe, but I’m happy to meet with you regardless of where you are.
The only exceptions are US and Canada, as I can’t work with clients there for legal and professional-liability reasons.
-
This depends on your goals, your history and how far along you are in your process.
Most clients I work with are in therapy for at least 6 months.
That said, you can always end the therapy when you feel like it’s time or if you want to take a break.
-
I offer sessions between 8 AM - 3 PM Central European Time on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
-
You can find my fees here.
If you’re based in Europe, you can pay with a regular bank transfer in your own currency. If you live outside Europe, you can pay by credit card.
-
At this time, I don’t accept insurance from any country.
-
You don’t have to have it all figured out before starting. Many clients come in feeling confused, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. That’s part of the process – we’ll sort it out together.
-
Fill out this form to get in touch with me.
In our first session, we'll start by talking more about the issues you'd like to work on and what kind of changes you'd like to see.
I’ll tell you more about the type of therapy I do and you can ask me any questions you have.
If we feel like we'd be a good fit to work together, we'll decide how we want to move forward with the therapy.
If we don’t feel like it’s a good fit, I'm happy to give you referrals to other IFS therapists that may be a better match for you.
-
I work with adults (20 and older) who want to understand themselves on a deeper level, make sense of difficult past experiences and how they still affect you, and move toward a steadier, more connected life.
I’m not the right fit if you’re currently dealing with schizophrenia, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a personality disorder, or an acute crisis such as active suicidality or a recent suicide attempt, as I don’t have specialist training in these areas.
I recommend finding a therapist with specific expertise in these topics so that you can get the best possible support.
-
The clients who get the most out of our work together are those committed to attending weekly sessions and willing to explore the deeper patterns keeping them stuck. Weekly attendance matters because real, lasting change happens through consistency, not just in the sessions themselves, but in the momentum that builds between them. Part of our work is helping you build the skills and tools to connect with your parts on your own, so you can use them between sessions – in your relationships, at work, and whenever difficult situations come up.
The people who benefit most are those who are ready to truly get to know themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives.
That said, we will always move at a pace that feels right for you and your system, and there's no pressure to go anywhere you're not ready to go. The most important thing you can bring to therapy is an openness to the process and a commitment to yourself.
-
You bring what’s going on for you, and I ask questions, offer perspective and guide you to explore the patterns underneath. Together we’ll identify tools and strategies that grow out of that deeper understanding, rather than quick fixes, and over time you’ll build the skills to connect with your parts yourself and bring that into your relationships, emotional regulation and the challenges of everyday life.
