Heal deeply.Live fully.Find harmony.
I offer Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy online, in English and French, to locals and international expats across Europe (GMT+2 / CEST) and the world.
This is a path of profound and lasting change. I'd be honoured to walk it with you.

This really allowed me to move forward with and better deal with the intense distress I was feeling."

Who am I ?
Ben Carey Donaldson - IFS Therapist
Ben is a French and English-speaking, IFS-certified therapist, group facilitator and organisational consultant based just outside Paris (GMT+2 / CEST). he offers online sessions for locals & expats in Europe and across the world.
His path has taken him across continents and into different cultures, societies, and traditions, giving me a deep appreciation for the diversity of human experience.
Before therapy, he worked in education, coaching, and leadership, always focused on helping people overcome obstacles, cultivating a deep faith in people’s capacity to change and a drive to create systems that support that change.
Having experienced the transformative power of IFS as a client himself, he now supports others in finding clarity, compassion, and lasting change.
He offers in-person consultations at premises in Melun and Fontainebleau, and online services across the globe.
"Ben is dynamic, gentle, and a great listener. He knows how to ask the right questions and provides accurate and kind guidance.
I found the IFS method particularly useful for connecting with different parts of myself and fostering genuine inner dialogue"

What is IFS?
IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a scientifically validated, evidence-based psychotherapeutic approach clinically proven to be effective in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, and many related struggles. (Studies Here)
It is a client-led, non-pathologising, compassionate, gentle yet profoundly transformational collaborative work that is just as effective online as in person.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you explore and heal your inner world by working with different 'parts' of yourself.
Sessions begin by slowing down and turning inward. With my guidance through prompting questions and reframing suggestions, you notice different 'parts' of yourself and learn to listen to them with curiosity and compassion.
Only if you want to! In IFS, It's not necessary to explain every detail. The focus is on your present-moment experience and how your parts show up right now.
Many people feel calmer, lighter, or more connected to themselves. Sometimes strong emotions surface, but these usually lead to relief and new understanding.
Yes — IFS works just as well online as in person, making it ideal for expats, internationals, and remote workers across Europe or anywhere else in the world.
