Family Therapy in Uppsala
My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS)—an evidence-based method for building trust and connection with all parts of yourself and creating lasting inner change.
Are you a highly sensitive person or deep thinker dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, or inner criticism? Were you were a gifted kid expected to go far—and now find yourself burned out instead?
You’re not broken—you’re wired differently. I offer a space where you can slow down, listen inward, and meet the parts of you carrying pain, pressure, or exhaustion. Together, we’ll untangle the beliefs and patterns keeping you stuck—so you can feel more grounded, make clearer choices, and connect more fully with yourself and others. It's possible to move through life with more ease—without leaving any part of you behind.

One of the core principles in Cognitive Psychotherapy states that the way in which people understand, explain and conceptualize the problems they suffer in life is itself a big part of those problems. You might be feeling anxiety as a consequence of overthinking, you might be experiencing your mood going down after using certain concepts or words to define yourself, you might be feeling frustrated after a relationship didn't work out as you expected... In all cases your mind plays a main role, and the way how your thoughts connect with your emotions and create certain behaviours forms patterns that we can discuss in a safe space.

Online Therapists
Many clients come to me exhausted from overgiving—at work, in relationships, or with family.
Do you say ‘yes’ when you mean ‘no’—then resent yourself later? If you feel guilty setting boundaries (‘I should do more’), put others first even when it hurts you, or fix problems you didn’t create to avoid seeming ‘selfish,’ I can help. My clients struggle to say ‘no’ without panic, feel trapped in caregiver/peacekeeper roles, and ignore their own needs until they’re exhausted. You don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle.

I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety or trauma from relationships or family dynamics.
Consider this: the anxiety you feel may stem from relentless overthinking, while a downturn in mood might follow from the negative concepts or labels you attach to yourself. In every instance, your mind takes center stage. The intricate interplay between your thoughts, emotions, and actions creates patterns that influence your well-being. But fear not, for within these patterns lies the opportunity for growth and change.

Having worked with clients over the years, I've seen many of them feeling stuck and lacking control in their personal and professional lives. They express hopelessness, frustration or fatigue. Changes such as children leaving, challenging relationships, loss, work-stress, hormonal shifts or trauma often lead them to question their identity and purpose, leaving them wondering, "What now?"

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
