Healing unfolds through relationship – with ourselves, with one another, and with Life

The Art of Self-leadership

Hi, I’m Christiane

Rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and informed by over twenty years of therapeutic practices, co-founder of OneSelf Institute, my work offers spaces for learning, healing and professional development.

Whether you are looking for psychotherapy, wishing to deepen your understanding of IFS, or seeking thoughtful training as a practitioner, Unfolding Self offers a place to explore with curiosity, compassion and depth.

Foundation February-May 2027

Blending clear teaching, immersive experiential learning, and supportive small-group practice, this training is designed to help you deeply embody the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS) – both in your own inner life and in your work with clients.

Our next comprehensive 12-week, in-person Foundation Training begins in February 2027 (limited to 15 participants).

Upon successful completion, you will graduate as an IFS-informed practitioner, having been trained by Christiane Churchill-Ley and her experienced team of five IFS therapists.

Throughout the programme, Christiane and her team will guide you with warmth, humour, depth, and clinical wisdom, creating a learning environment that is both professionally rigorous and personally transformative. The emphasis is not simply on learning the IFS model, but on living it – so that your presence becomes as healing as the methods you use.
