ABOUT ME
I am a counsellor and Swedish licensed psychologist who has experience in working with psychological assessments, support counselling, psychotherapy and neuropsychiatric assessments. Previously, I have worked in the field of child- and youth psychiatry in Sweden. Nowadays I specialise as a private counsellor on Mallorca working with a range of mental health issues such as depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. My theoretical orientation is mainly cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). I offer:
Individual therapy
In individual therapy we focus on the current problems or difficulties you may be experiencing, related symptoms, your needs, or what you want to achieve, and what you think is important to discuss during our sessions. By talking with me as a counsellor/psychologist you will recieve advice and support, tools to be able to reflect on your situation and view your concerns from different perspectives. You will gain insight on how to best deal with your situation and feel better about yourself.
Support - and crisis counselling
In support- and crisis counselling we address difficult adversities or events that have affected you. This is usually called a life crisis or development crisis. In such situations, it may feel like your existence is turned upside down and we do not know how to understand and respond to what is happening. In a support- or crisis counselling session, you will be helped to review the event, both objectively and emotionally. Questions like “What happened?”, “How should I understand it?”, “How do I move on?” are discussed.
Couples therapy
On of the primary objectives of couples therapy is to decrease conflicts and communication problems within the relationship. This may involve finding ways together to be able to talk about sensitive issues and other difficulties that you haven’t been able to solve on your own. It can help you to learn how one’s respective reactions and behaviors affect each other. The aim is to increase understanding between both parties and thus move towards improving the relationship. Sometimes couples therapy can also give insight into whether you want to continue together as a couple or go your separate ways. It is important to know that a large part of the work takes place at home, working together as a couple, using the techniques and the relationship tasks learned during the sessions.
