Swedish Counselling in Rickmansworth

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.

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.

Have you received a diagnosis of ASC and/or ADHD and are struggling to make sense of your experiences? Are you looking for an assessment for ASC and/or ADHD for yourself? Is your family struggling?

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.
