Lilja Steingrímsdóttir

Psychotherapist

verified by TherapyRoute

“I am a body oriented psycotherapist experienced in working with people dealing with effects of Trauma and existential crises such as burnout, devorce, loss of job, loss of health, people who experience gender dysphoria, social anxiety, lonleliness, depression and on going grief.”

About Me

I understand that navigating complex trauma, existential shifts, or persistent loneliness can feel overwhelming. As a body-oriented psychotherapist, I guide you to gently connect with your inner sensations. This approach supports those dealing with ongoing grief, social anxiety, or the deep effects of trauma. We can cultivate a sense of stability, enabling you to move forward with greater presence and ease.

Approach

From that growing steadiness, work tends to unfold by slowing down and noticing what the body already knows, using breath, gentle movement and guided attention to track shifts in tension or calm. Sessions in Reykjavík or online in Danish, English or Icelandic are paced to match your readiness—sometimes brief experiments in session, sometimes short practices between meetings to translate felt changes into daily life. I offer clear explanations alongside hands-on somatic inquiry so you can learn to recognise triggers and small turns toward safety. This way of working often suits people facing major losses, role changes or ongoing grief.
