Swedish Counselling in Aldershot

Upplever du återkommande nedstämdhet, oro eller ångest? Har allt du provat hittills endast fungerat en stund för att senare ta dig tillbaka till ruta ett? Känner du att du tappar den psykologiska balansen nästan varje dag? Genomgår en stor förändring? Kanske du nyligen blivit förälder, fått ett nytt jobb, eller förlorat en anställning. Kanske du nyss avslutat en relation eller precis flyttat? Vad än det är som gör att du hittat hit så gissar jag att du inte längre vill känna så som du gör och de metoder du provat hittills har visat sig vara otillräckliga. Jag gissar att du önskar gå och prata med någon som känner till den svenska kulturen och dess skillnader jämtemot brittiska kulturen, och som talar svenska såväl som engelska som även är professionell och har en rätta kompetensen för att hjälpa just dig.

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.

Om du upplever ett gap mellan vad du vill i livet gentemot hur du har det eller om du känner ett generellt missnöje i aspekter av ditt liv, finns jag här för att hjälpa! Jag är en svensk-brittisk psykolog som är registrerad och ansluten till Health and Care Professions council (HCPC) i Storbritannien med över 15 år av erfarenhet inom tillämpad psykologi.

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.

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.

I have experience of a wide variety of therapeutic settings, working with loss and bereavement, work-related stress, migration, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. In therapy I will provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where we can explore the challenges in your life and how you can make the choices that are right for you at this point in your life. I provide therapy in English and in Swedish.

Working on a client-led basis I believe the unique client-therapist working relationship is the key to a positive experience where the collaborative work offers insight and deeper understanding of our true needs and desires. I will help you become more aware of unhelpful patterns in your life and support you through the process of change that can sometimes feel challenging and lonely. With a focus on supporting clients through transitional stages in life, recognising the struggle but also the potential in personal growth, I wish to encourage your own process with respect for your values, beliefs and choices.

Have you been struggling with relationships, your mood and/ or to cope for some time? Do you find that past experiences interfere with your present life? Are you looking for a psychologist that can provide you with a safe and non-judgemental space to explore, understand, and process your life patterns or difficulties? Then you have come to the right place! I can support you to explore and heal from these life patterns or difficulties, as well as to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling with self-esteem issues or low mood? Talking things through can help, whether it's troubling thoughts, painful life events or negative patterns that seem to repeat themselves in your life or relationships. My style is relational, and I take a holistic (mind/body) view on emotional wellbeing. I help you gently explore and address the root of the problem, so you can feel calmer inside and begin to enjoy life again. I also offer somatic work and creative arts therapy for those who like working in this way.

There are times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed by personal problems. We might turn to family or friends but feel that this is not enough. Or perhaps we find it difficult to talk about what’s bothering us or feel there’s no one who wants or are able to listen. Therapy provides a safe and contained space where personal challenges and difficult feelings can be expressed and gently explored & processed. I provide a professional & confidential psychotherapy service in which I help & support my clients work through whatever difficulties they’re experiencing. I maintain a duty of care & work within ethical boundaries.

I approach therapy with gentleness and a genuine curiosity about the vast spectrum of human experiences. I am here to support you as you journey through your unique story, at your own pace. When you feel stuck or uncertain, I use active, compassionate listening to guide you forward.

Sometimes our life experiences can trigger feelings of low mood and anxiety, and you may wish to see how therapy can help you. As a clinical psychologist and CBT therapist with over 10 years working in the NHS, I will work collaboratively with you to gain an understanding of how your difficulties started, what is keeping them going, and how you can overcome them. I believe that working together and forming a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to gaining positive outcomes and reaching therapy goals. I am friendly, warm and laid back and endeavour to help you feel supported throughout your therapy journey.

Ingrid is passionate about helping others achieve their goals and fulfil their potential, by combining a knowledge and understanding of coaching and psychology. This is done by providing challenging and thought provoking questions that lead to clarity, have breakthroughs or answer difficult questions, which in turn can lead to transformation. Ingrid’s experience, coupled with a passion for positive psychology, that is, the focus on human strengths rather than weaknesses, has led to the understanding of the power of shifting one’s perspective. Much is to gain from challenging and difficult experiences in life.

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.

Most people experience difficulties at some stage of their life, such as overwhelming distress, feeling of ‘stuckness’ or lack of meaningfulness. Thoughts and feelings can be difficult to identify alone and come to terms with alone. Talking to a therapist in a confidential and supportive environment is a space to understand and address your difficulties. My view is that the role of the therapist is to explore with the client their core beliefs, in order to identify their feelings of ‘stuckness’ and relationship patterns.

I work as a Senior CBT Therapist in the NHS providing evidence based therapy to treat psychological difficulties and disorders including depression, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, phobias, health anxiety, OCD, PTSD, BDD, low self esteem and perfectionism.
