A place to come home to yourself.
Online IFS therapy in British Columbia for anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, and learning to trust yourself again.
You might know this pattern by heart
You spend days replaying something that happened, bouncing between "Am I overreacting? Maybe I should just let it go." and "But that wasn't okay... was it?"
You try to stay calm, explain yourself carefully, and accommodate others to keep the peace. Inside, you might feel anxious, frustrated, or alone. You're used to considering everyone else's feelings while quietly wondering, "What about mine?"
Somewhere along the way, you may have learned it was safer to keep your feelings inside and stay small. But maybe your feelings aren't wrong. Maybe they're pointing toward something worth listening to.
How I can help
Together, we will make space for the feelings you've learned to question, minimize, or explain away.
I will teach you a practice of slowing down and turning inward - not to fix or change what you're feeling, but because your feelings have something to tell you. Over time, you might find that the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the inner critic settle when you stop fighting them. They carry wisdom when you learn how to listen.
Many clients come in longing for confidence and clarity. They find that what they were looking for was already inside, waiting to be discovered.
About me
Jessica Forrest, PhD
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering online IFS therapy to adults across British Columbia. I work well with sensitive, reflective people who want to come home to themselves.
I believe every person has an innate capacity to heal and thrive. The primary modality I use with clients is Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a practice of connecting with our core Self - a calm, compassionate presence that knows how to heal old patterns and create inner and outer harmony. My role is not to fix or direct, but to teach you the practice and guide you through it, with warmth and deep respect for the wisdom you already carry inside.
My education and training include an MA in Counselling Psychology, a PhD in Psychology, and Level 1 IFS Therapy. Sessions are scheduled weekly or biweekly for 60min ($145).
