I meet people with anxiety and low mood, and together we work out what is keeping it going — whether that is shame, self-criticism, or rumination. You may have a clear life change or crisis that brings you here, or something more vague, like a persistent feeling of lostness. Whatever it is, we will make sense of it together.
I’m a native English-speaking talking therapist (samtalsterapeut) based in a garden oasis on Södermalm. I work with the international community in Stockholm on cross-cultural challenges: loss of identity, feelings of isolation, language barriers, and the constant questions about ‘being in the right place’.
Reaching out can feel like a big step, and it’s normal not to be sure if therapy or a certain therapist is right for you. A free 30-minute initial conversation is a good place to start. We can talk about what’s going on and whether we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure to book further sessions, and we move forward at your pace.

I'm aware private therapy is a luxury, and I aim to offer accessible sessions where possible. I offer a sliding scale for those in low-paying jobs, unemployed, or students, and all clients receive a discount for block bookings of six sessions or more.

My approach is based on CBT, an evidence-based, time-limited therapy. Together, we'll explore how certain thought patterns may be keeping negative feelings in place and work on gently challenging and shifting them. We'll also look at behaviours that may no longer be serving you and find ways to make positive changes.
