Why I do this work
I have felt at home in many places in the world, and at the same time carried a persistent sense of not quite belonging anywhere. Growing up between cultures led me into my own therapeutic work around identity, belonging and in-betweenness.
What was once painful now also holds curiosity and joy. It has widened my ability to hold several perspectives at once and to meet people where they are, whatever story they carry.
With me, you do not have to translate yourself to be understood.
“You are not broken. You are in survival mode.”

Training and experience
I am a certified counsellor with a foundation in integrative psychotherapy and a particular orientation toward psychosynthesis. I have more than ten years of experience in occupational health, both in the public sector and in private occupational health settings.
I am trained in trauma work, compassion-focused therapy, mindfulness, Nonviolent Communication and coaching. In my work I use evidence-based methods such as CBT and ACT alongside somatic, body-based approaches.
I am also trained in strategic communication and PR. I receive regular clinical supervision and continue to deepen my competence through courses and workshops in my field. Confidentiality and consent are fundamental to my practice. I carry professional liability insurance and am a member of Psykosyntesförbundet.
A way of working that adapts to you
Flexibility that fits your life.
Sessions are usually 50 to 60 minutes. We often begin with one session a week and then adjust the frequency to your needs and your development. Some people work with me for a few months, others for several years.
My approach.
As an integrative therapist I draw on CBT, ACT, psychosynthesis, compassion-focused therapy, mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing and breathwork. I combine talking therapy with body-based work because lasting change needs both. Our survival patterns do not live only in our thoughts, but also in the nervous system.
How it works.
In our first conversation I ask what brought you here and what you want to change. We talk about your patterns and build a plan for our work together. In the sessions that follow we check in on the week, work with patterns as they show up and practise new ways of being.
“The work is not about becoming someone else. It is about returning to yourself with more choices.”
