Hello, I’m Jodie Benveniste

Author | Psychologist | Storytelling Consultant

I believe creativity is sacred work - and real creativity asks something real of us.

As a published author and psychologist, I know the vulnerability of bringing meaningful work into the world and how inner critics, fear, and pressure can block the stories or ideas we’re here to share.

Discovering Internal Family Systems (IFS) gave me a new way forward. It helped me meet the parts of me that felt stuck - not with force, but with compassion. That approach now shapes everything I do.

Whether I’m coaching a creative through resistance, helping shape a healing narrative, or supporting the creation of story-led wellbeing tools, my work is about holding space for emotional depth, creative truth and meaningful expression.

Real support for the real work of creative expression

The Inner Framework

A compassionate foundation for creative, story-led work

At the heart of my approach is Internal Family Systems (IFS) - a powerful psychological framework for understanding the different parts of ourselves and how they shape our stories, creativity and emotional lives.

Whether I’m working with a creative, a professional or a school, this framework helps guide the process with clarity, connection and depth.

Grounded, accessible and deeply human
