Psychotherapist

“Hi! I am a psychotherapist. I offer a free non-binding conversation. It is a good opportunity to ask all the questions you have and to share your doubts about therapy. And, most importantly, it's the perfect opportunity to see if we are a match.”

About Me

There are two paths in my life that I value highly and work within: psychotherapy and social work. A common thread in all my work with people is relationships. The relationships we have in our lives are incredibly important and are crucial for our mental health and well-being. As a psychotherapist, I welcome individual clients, couples, and families in my practice in Copenhagen, Vesterbro area and online. Additionally, I collaborate with Reden as a psychotherapist for women who have experienced human trafficking and who need support. As a consultant in social work, I offer workshops to NGOs, residential facilities, shelters, and other places that help particularly vulnerable and at-risk people (f eg homeless people, women victims of abuse and others). The workshops are primarily offered to the volunteers and temps that are working in these organizations.

Approach

The fundament of my work is: - presence and human contact here and now! - humbleness and equal dignity in meeting with you as individual, you and your partner or you and your family! - authentic and curious dialog, because you are your own expert, the expert on your family and the expert of your life - I am only a humble witness. I focus on creating a safe environment where you can feel your emotions and body sensations, become aware of your inner thoughts and voices, give place to all the reactions that come and afterwards welcome new experiences of yourself. We create change together. But it is my responsibility to take care of the atmosphere and the relationship between us! I don't fix and don't come with quick solutions. I help you to find your own way. I see internal states like depression, anxiety, eating disorders, OCD as symptoms and I am not focusing on making them disappear. Together we will look at the causes, will be curious about what these symptoms want to tell us and will work through it. The focus on the symptom can get a short term relief, but if the cause is not addressed, then the symptom will reappear in the same way or under another symptom. You can read more about my work experience and my approach to different types of therapies on my website.
