Based on 30+ yrs of experience in different cultural and work contexts I offer a range of psychological services for individuals and couples, aimed at enhancing your well-being and life-satisfaction. Depending on interest I will facilitate a group in dance and expressive therapy.

Hurdan är jag som psykologi
There are transformative psychological processes inherent in all human beings. I offer clients a respectful and supportive professional relationship that enhances these “natural” processes. Central to my work is the effort to grasp “where the client is at”, to understand his/her emotional experience, thought processes and relationship networks. I enable clients to become aware of and build on their own resources, i.e. their strengths, abilities and talents. Drawing on careful listening, knowledge and experience, I ask questions and sometimes offer explanations. This can enable clients to develop constructive perspectives on, and paths out of, current difficulties. Sometimes I gently challenge.
Vad gör man i mina sessioner
Based on our histories, we develop emotion schemes, i.e. typical ways of thinking, feeling and action tendencies that are at the base of how we live our lives and approach challenges. Emotion schemes shape our interactions with the world around us in an automated, unconscious ways. They may become rigid and extreme in their manifestations. I help clients to recognise and understand these patterns from a place of compassion and curiosity. And guide them to transform the patterns to enhance psychological wellbeing. Rediscovering resources, i.e. strengths, supportive life experiences and interests, can provide stepping- stones for the process . My approach is integrative and includes elements of systemic and family therapy, internal family systems, trauma therapy, expressive therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy. At the core of my work is a supportive and accepting therapeutic relationship that provides the safety needed to develop constructive perspectives on current challenges.

Extra info
Dance and expressive therapy (IDET) groups and workshops, depending on possibilities for constituting a therapy group and demand.
In IDET expression through movement, body awareness and the act of creating are the focal points. Physical movement can enable flow on other levels of being, including the cognitive and emotional spheres. IDET facilitates creativity and allows participants to experience joy. It provides opportunity for engagement in a non-threatening activity. and for interacting with others in potentially liberating ways.
IDET doesn't include dancing to particular steps nor is any dancing skill required. It is about movement to express and explore your emotions and experiences.
Structure of the therapy: •Closed group: the group remains the same throughout the process and people make a commitment to participate in all the sessions •Time limited: the process consists of eight fortnightly, 2-hour sessions •Small group: maximum twelve participants, minimum of eight
