Certified Level 3 IFS Therapist and IFS Approved Clinical Consultant
Alessio Rizzo (He/They) MA, MSc
I work online worldwide with clients who would like IFS therapy, and with professionals who would like IFS Clinical Consultation and Supervision.
Currently I am on the leadership programme offered by the IFS Institute. Therefore, my focus is shifting from private practice towards making the IFS model available in Italian and adapting it to the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities.
I have extensive experience working with sexual, gender and neurodiversity issues. A list of my qualifications is on the contact page.
I am an Accredited Psychotherapist in the UK, an IFS Level 3 Certified Therapist, an IFS Approved Clinical Consultant, a supervisor, trainer, author and a Sexual Diversity Therapist.
I regularly present workshops in English and Italian, and write articles about mental health (please visit my articles page).

I had the honour to review and contribute to the chapter on Embodying IFS with Neurodiversity Clients.
The chapter in this book is a very good starting point for all those who would like to understand how IFS sees neurodiversity and the implications on therapeutic interventions.
