Du lägger mycket fokus på att prestera, men oroar dig för att det du gör inte blir bra nog, att du inte duger. Andra säger att du är för hård mot dig själv, men du vågar inte sänka ribban. Tänk om du misslyckas? Du känner dig ofta stressad, nere och slutkörd av all press du lägger på dig själv, så livet känns värdelöst eller bara fokuserat på dina prestationer. Ditt självförtroende är i botten och du har ofta ångest för vad andra ska tycka och tänka om dig. Livet behöver inte se ut såhär, du kan följa dina ambitioner utan att gå in i väggen och bli utbränd.

Är du ny i London eller har redan varit här ett tag? Jag har lång erfarenhet med problem som kan uppstå när människor flyttar mellan olika länder. Upplever du längtan hem, separations ångest från nära och kära eller kämpar du med att försöka anpassa dig till en ny miljö, kultur och nytt arbetsklimat? Terapi kan vara till hjälp samtidigt som det kan kännas bra att uttrycka svåra känslor på sitt eget modersmål. Det är inte ovanligt att hoppas på att lämna bakom sig vissa problem i och med flytten. I bland kan dom dock uppstå igen, även i det nya hemlandet och då kan terapi ge möjlighet att finna klarhet och visa nya vägar.

Jag har mycket erfarenhet att behandla de emotionella svårigheter som kan uppstå specifikt när man är utlands-svensk både på ett personligt plan och arbetsmässigt. Ofta kan det vara kommunikationssvårigheter men även kulturella värderingar och skilda åsikter om tex barnuppfostran, vilka traditioner man ska fira tex. Det kan också kännas jobbigt att flytta hem efter många år utomlands men kanske nödvändigt av olika anledningar. Jag jobbar med med allt från stress, ångest, relationsproblem och andliga frågor till mentalsjukdomar, narkotika och beteende missbruk och personlighetsstörningar.

Starting therapy can be a daunting and a big step in your life therefore, it is important that you choose the right therapist. I offer a free 15-minute phone appointment to talk about what brings you to therapy, your current circumstances and difficulties, and to together think about whether I can help you. Your first therapy session will be an assessment where I will ask you questions to understand your past, your present difficulties and what you would like to get from engaging in the therapeutic process. This session is a two-way process for both you and I to consider if we might be able to work together.

I believe that therapy allows you to take a more active role in understanding and experiencing your emotions. When we are not aware of our emotions or ideas, it can mean we act out certain behaviours – or experience certain feelings - without knowing why. And while we might be able to tolerate this for some time – perhaps even for a long time - I believe there is a difference between surviving and living. Developing a closer – or less mysterious - relationship with ourselves can allow us to go beyond living life passively and begin to really experience it.

Our health and wellbeing come from having meaningful and satisfying relationships with others and ourselves, and from being able to come to terms with what is going on in our lives. By understanding and uncovering what is causing us distress, and by getting to know ourselves better, we can feel more empowered and in control of our lives. I really believe that paying attention to our unconscious and being curious about ourselves and our inner lives can help us achieve a more balanced and integrated sense of self.

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.
