Does this feel like you?
You look capable on the outside. Inside, it is something else.
You look capable on the outside, functioning, achieving, holding it together. But inside, you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself.
You might notice the same patterns repeating: people-pleasing and struggling to set boundaries, anxiety or emotional numbness, taking responsibility for everyone but yourself, relationships that drain more than they nourish.
These patterns are not flaws. They are survival strategies.
Therapy helps you understand them and gently outgrow them.
A different explanation
You are not broken. You are in survival mode.
I am Adna Osman, an integrative therapist in Stockholm. I help high-functioning people stop running on empty and start living with intention, clarity, and self-trust.
I work in Swedish, English and Somali.

Does this feel like you?
You understand a lot already. Now you want something to truly change.
Therapy can help you move from insight into a steadier way of living, relating and trusting yourself.
Your life works on paper. It just does not feel like yours.
You say yes before you have checked whether you want to.
You are the one who carries the emotional weight, and you are tired of it being invisible.
You know your patterns by name. Knowing has not been enough to change them.
If this feels familiar, the next step does not need to be dramatic. Start with one conversation.

A space where you can show up exactly as you are.
I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are without performing, explaining, or translating your experience. A space where you are heard and understood, not fixed or judged.
Therapy is collaborative. You are the expert on your life. My role is to help you understand what is keeping you stuck and support you in building sustainable ways of showing up differently.
The patterns you are experiencing are not personal failures. They are adaptations that once kept you safe, but no longer serve you.
- Understand the survival strategies that keep repeating.
- Build boundaries without abandoning connection.
- Move from self-criticism toward self-trust.
“High-functioning is not the same as healthy.”
Adna Osman“Therapy is not about fixing you. It is about understanding you.”

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You do not need to know before you book. That is what the free consultation is for, twenty minutes in which we go through what brought you here and what you want to be different. Many people who reach out function well on the outside and are worn out underneath. If I am not the right person for you, I will say so and help you look further.
How many sessions will I need?
It varies. We often begin with one session a week and adjust the pace as we go. Some people work with me for a few months, others for several years. For deeper pattern work I usually recommend a continuous stretch of around ten sessions, but you book one session at a time.
Do I need a referral?
No. You book directly, with no referral and no waiting list.
Does online work as well as meeting in person?
It depends on what you prefer. Online removes travel time and makes it possible to continue when life is busy or when you are abroad. If you would rather sit in the same room, I am in Stockholm.
What languages can we speak?
Swedish, English and Somali.
What does it cost?
An individual session is 1 200 SEK online and 1 300 SEK in person in Stockholm, 50 minutes. Couples therapy is 1 650 SEK online and 1 750 SEK in person, 75 minutes. Coaching is 2 500 SEK for 75 minutes. A group session is 650 SEK per person. All prices include VAT. I work session by session and do not sell packages.
What happens during the free consultation?
It lasts twenty minutes. You tell me what brought you here and what you want to be different. I describe what working together could look like. You do not need to have decided beforehand, and you are not committing to anything.
Do you work with men?
Yes. I see both men and women, individually and as couples.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation at least 48 hours before the booked time is free of charge. Later cancellations and missed sessions are charged in full.
Can I get reduced pricing?
A limited number of reduced-price slots are available for students, people seeking work and people on sick leave. I also set aside two slots each week at no cost for people who need therapy but cannot afford the regular fee. Get in touch through the contact form and describe your situation briefly.
