About me
It is important to me that you feel safe, seen and heard when we meet. I want to create a room where you can land and talk about what is going on inside you without feeling judged.
You do not need to know exactly what is difficult or have the words for what you feel. We can start where you are and try to understand it together. Sometimes the sessions are about getting through something difficult, sometimes about understanding yourself better or finding new ways to feel and live.
I listen with curiosity to your story and to how life is for you. We talk about what matters to you, what you would like to change, and what could help you move forward.
You do not need to know where to begin. You are welcome exactly as you are.
My experience
Education
I took my psychology degree at Linnaeus University, with a focus on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy (PDT). As a psychologist I work with adults, couples, children and young people, and I also offer psychological services for companies.
Experience
I have broad experience of working with many kinds of psychological difficulties and life challenges – from anxiety, depression and stress to relationships, life crises and personal development. I see adults, couples, children and young people of all ages.
Particular interest
I am particularly interested in working with existential questions, life crises, relational difficulties, attachment, emotions and spirituality. I have experience from both the private sector and public healthcare.
How I work
Tailored approach
I work flexibly and adapt the treatment to you and what you need. In the beginning we spend a few sessions understanding together what is difficult, how it affects you and what you would like to change. Based on that we shape the treatment and continue working with what matters to you.
Ongoing feedback
During the treatment we talk regularly about how you experience the sessions, what feels helpful and whether there is something we need to do differently. I use what you tell me to adapt the treatment going forward.
Warm and safe
In our conversations I am warm, attentive and listening. I want you to feel safe and taken seriously, while I can also challenge you when that is needed to help you move on.
Methods
CBT and PDT
My background is in both CBT and psychodynamic therapy, and I use different psychological perspectives and methods based on what suits you and what we are working with.
Couples therapy and IBCT
I also work with couples therapy using IBCT (Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy), a method that combines acceptance and change to help couples understand their patterns and find new ways of meeting each other.
