Swedish Counselling in Berkhamsted

My passion is to work with clients that want to expand and understand themselves, to deepen and explore their relationship to life, to themselves, their bodies and to others so that they can live and be in healthy and creative relationships, and live a good life ultimately. Maybe a life experience has been traumatic, maybe you have encountered a relationship problem at work or with friends or family, stress, depression or anxiety is crippling your life energy. Whatever your experience is, we can explore your issues with deeper reflection and enquiry, so that new possibilities, awareness, trust and choices can emerge.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In psychotherapy there is an opportunity to get to know yourself in depth and discover new ways of living your life. Often we have repetitive patterns and ways of thinking that can for instance cause suffering, frustration, anxiety and sadness in our life. Despite our best efforts to decide to behave and relate differently, we drift back to our old ways of being and behaving. In psychotherapy we will work at getting to know your unconscious inner life. A lot of feelings and thoughts we have are not conscious and psychotherapy gives you the opportunity to reflect and try out new ways when you feel change is needed.

Life can be challenging at times, and it's important to recognize when you need help. If you're feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or struggling with relationships, trauma, or grief, taking the step towards therapy is a courageous and vital move towards your well-being. In therapy with me, I will provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable talking freely about what's on your mind.
