Since 2017, I have been a Licensed Psychotherapist specialising in CBT. I am particularly interested in schema therapy. I want the therapy to be characterised by positive change and to look ahead. I believe that we need to know a little more about our early emotional needs in order to really understand our strengths, driving forces and difficulties. Understanding this, we can we brave enough to do things differently - based on what is important to us.

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELLING
In therapy, you will be asked about the difficulties you experience and together try to put them into perspective, considering life situations, assets, limitations but also previous life events. This usually takes 2-3 sessions. With this information, we decide together which focus we should have in the treatment.
We will mainly use evidence-based CBT methods but sometimes also schema therapeutic and perhaps also psychodynamic techniques as needed.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
COUPLE THERAPY AND FAMILY THERAPY
I offer both couples therapy (Integrative Behavioural Couples Therapy) and family therapy (Emotionally Focused Therapy).
Couples therapy is an established form of talk therapy that helps couples understand each other better, resolve conflicts and improve communication. It can also help couples learn to work together during an ongoing separation or to function together as parents after a separation.
Family therapy is a treatment where several family members or another group meet together with a psychotherapist to improve relationships, understand each other and help resolve conflicts.
Couples therapy and family-focused therapy can be useful as individual treatments or can be supplemented with other individual psychotherapy to promote understanding or collaboration in a relationship, especially important as individual difficulties often affect an entire system of relationships.
I am trained in IBCT (Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy) and offer couples therapy. The treatment is an established model that can be used to make a relationship work further, to learn to cooperate during an ongoing separation or to, for example, function together as parents after a separation.
COUPLES THERAPY
Eating disorder treatment
For many years I have worked with the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, binge eating disorder and non-specific eating disorders.
Obesity treatment
I also have extensive experience of working with weight reduction treatment for obesity/obesity, which can entail also working with accepting one's weight. Sometimes preparations for bariatric surgery can also be part of this.
In addition to this, I work with eating disorder symptoms such as:
• Body dissatisfaction and body control
• Restrictive eating
• Binge eating/overeating
• Excessive exercise
• Perfectionistic eating (Orthorexia)

My entry into psychiatry was as a coordinator for two different research projects. In connection with this, I had to face clinical reality by leading groups in treatment. A few years later I was offered a doctoral position in eating disorders and in parallel with this I took a basic psychotherapy training.
Having completed my PhD in 2009, I began a research career in eating disorders with a focus on obesity, which included the treatment of eating disorders. As I enjoyed working as a therapist, I chose to increase the proportion of clinical work and began studies to become a licensed psychotherapist, graduating in 2017.
After many years in eating disorder care, I have gradually moved on to working with an increasing variety of psychological problems, including stress, burnout and other work-related problems. Over the past year, I have worked part-time at an addiction clinic with abuse and addiction to, among other things, alcohol, porn and social media.
