IFS Model – Introduction and Deepening 2+2 Day Workshop, Melbourne 2026
An Introduction and Deepening of the Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) model of psychotherapy – assumes no prior knowledge.
Join our IFS Institute International Partner Simon d’Orsogna MA in a 2-Day Introductory IFS Workshop, followed by a 2-Day Deepening IFS Workshop. In this workshop series you will immerse yourself in the Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) model of psychotherapy. The workshop sessions aim to provide an opportunity for adult learning in a process-oriented group approach to foster professional development in a supportive collegial atmosphere. Suitable to mental health professionals including therapists, psychologists, counsellors, psychiatrists, expressive, therapeutic arts practitioners and social workers.
Participants in the Introductory Workshop will learn the basics of the IFS approach from the ground up. No previous knowledge of the model is assumed. The focus in the Deepening days is on further understanding the IFS approach, model and techniques through a series of exercises, demos and discussion.
Participants will be supported in the experiential work with experienced trained therapists and practitioners as your assistants. The workshop provides an opportunity for didactic presentation, watching both demonstration sessions with commentary and discussion and engaging in experiential exercises where we learn-by-doing. You will develop a familiarity with the powerful attitudes and techniques that make IFS so effective.
Testimonials from attendees of Simon’s recent IFS workshops …
The workshop inspired me to become more committed to using the model and developed my confidence. Group discussions, demonstrations and small group work created a positive and open learning atmosphere. Simon was living the values of IFS through openly embracing all the parts in the room. I had the opportunity to work with my own parts in a supportive atmosphere.
Fun, informative, experiential, respectful, and inspiring.
Useful, effective, grounding, and gave me more confidence in using IFS
Really enjoyed Simon’s presence, authenticity, compassion, and expertise in the field. It made for an engaging and fun workshop and I came away inspired by IFS.
An absolute must to attend if you are wanting to explore the use of IFS in your practice.
I really appreciate Simon’s process oriented style and his embodiment and refined understanding of IFS – he lives and breaths it.
