Worrying can take up a great deal of time and make it difficult to concentrate, recover or do things that matter to you. Attempts to foresee and control everything that could go wrong can bring brief relief while also putting worry more in charge. We explore when this happens, what you do to manage it and what would need to work differently in everyday life. The aim is not that you should never feel worried, but that worry should have less say over your life.

Ruminating can feel like an attempt to understand or solve something, but sometimes becomes a mental loop. It can make it harder to sleep, make decisions, be present in relationships or move on after what has happened. We look at what starts the thoughts, what keeps them going and which parts of everyday life you want to regain. The aim is for the thoughts to take less time and leave more room for action.

Low mood and low energy do not always feel like clear sadness or a depressive episode. You might withdraw more, find it harder to get started or notice that conflicts at work are taking up more and more space. Worrying and ruminating may take turns, and perhaps you seek relief in habits or behaviours you do not really like. We explore what does not sit right, how everyday life is affected and what keeps the pattern going. The aim is to regain more curiosity, direction and scope to take part in what matters to you.

Anxiety can show itself in many different ways in the body. The reaction may be connected with something happening here and now, but also with what is going on in your thoughts, such as worrying or ruminating. Feeling anxiety is not in itself a problem. It is part of the body’s protective warning system and can help us find our way in life. But when it starts to limit relationships, work, sleep, freedom of movement or things you want to be able to do, it can become a problem. Together we explore when the alarm goes off, what it is reacting to and how your ways of managing anxiety affect you in the short and long term. The work aims to increase your understanding of anxiety and your freedom to act, even when it is there.

Exhaustion can be described as a non-specific pattern of symptoms that arises when the total load over a long period exceeds your opportunity to recover. Sometimes the life situation itself is the main cause. In other cases, the load interacts with, for example, worrying, rumination, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance, trauma or physical illness.

We therefore need to look beyond the label and explore individually what is causing the difficulties and how your everyday life is affected. This can help us find the keys to recovery that matter to you in particular. Pronounced or new fatigue may also need medical assessment.

When you are worried about your health, attention can get stuck on bodily sensations and thoughts about what they might mean. Looking for information, checking your body or seeking reassurance can bring temporary relief while also giving worry and attention to the body more space.

We explore what sets the pattern in motion, how attempts to reach certainty affect you in the short and long term and how you can gain more freedom while still taking your body seriously. The aim is not to dismiss physical symptoms. Acute symptoms should be assessed by healthcare services, and new or clearly changed symptoms may need medical assessment.

Procrastination is not laziness or a lack of will. Sometimes putting things off becomes a way of temporarily escaping discomfort, uncertainty or demands. It may also be connected with a task feeling unclear, overwhelming or difficult to organise. The relief is deceptive and short-lived, while what is put off continues to take up space and becomes harder to approach.

We explore what happens before and after you put something off, which situations make it harder to begin or continue and how the pattern affects everyday life. The aim is to find and use other ways of acting, increasing your freedom to begin, continue and finish things that matter to you, even when motivation is low or discomfort remains.

Difficulties in relationships can concern both how you tend to react and how you are actually treated. Perhaps you adapt a great deal, withdraw, get stuck in conflicts or find it hard to express what you need. Exploring your own reactions does not mean that the whole responsibility for the relationship lies with you.

We explore what happens in specific situations, what seems to recur and how this particular relationship works. Questions of respect, safety and boundaries need to be taken seriously. The aim is for you to gain more freedom to understand what is happening, express what you need, set boundaries and choose how you want to act.

Difficult relationships take different forms. It may be a partner, a parent, an adult child, a sibling or someone else in the family. Perhaps you read the mood before saying something, hold back an opinion to avoid their reaction or explain away things that do not sit right. Perhaps everyday life has narrowed: you contact other people less often or have less say over time, money or where you are. It is common to doubt your own experience and wonder whether you are exaggerating.

It may also concern reactions of your own that are hard to bear. Jealous thoughts can take up a great deal of space and feel shameful to put into words. Checking, looking for signs or seeking reassurance may bring relief for the moment, but often give the thoughts more space and strain the relationship further. The same can apply to withdrawing, adapting far beyond what you want or getting caught in recurring conflicts.

Sometimes violence is part of the picture. Violence is more than physical blows. It can include demeaning words, threats, control of money, phones or social contact, sexual abuse, or pressure from several family members at once. You do not need to be able to decide whether what you are living with counts in order to get in touch, and you do not need to have decided whether to stay or leave.

When the difficulty lies within your own circle, that is often where it is hardest to ask for help. Talking with someone neutral, with no family loyalties, can make it possible to sort through what is happening without it having consequences within the family. We explore what happens in specific situations, what you do to manage it and what it costs you over time. The aim is for you to gain a clearer picture of what is happening and more freedom to choose how you want to act.

If you are afraid, threatened or experiencing violence, national helplines are available around the clock and you can remain anonymous. If you are in immediate danger, call 112.

When someone close to you is unwell, your circumstances often change gradually, without anyone having chosen it. Perhaps you gauge first thing in the morning what kind of day it will be, adapt plans to how the other person is feeling or have become the one who keeps going and holds things together. Others ask how your loved one is doing. Less often, how you are doing.

Over time, adapting can take its toll. Your energy may diminish, sometimes so gradually that the change is hard to notice. Tiredness, anger, shame and guilt may exist side by side. At the same time, your image of yourself may tell you that you have to find the strength to stay, making it hard to say that the situation is no longer sustainable.

Being close to someone who is struggling can involve difficult decisions and boundaries. It may concern what you are responsible for, what you can influence and what you need to hand back to the other person. What is sometimes called codependency may be part of the picture, but the term does not in itself describe your particular situation.

We map out the situation and review what is reasonable, what no longer works and how responsibility has been divided. The image of yourself as someone who must always find the strength can be explored and tested. Changes often need to be tried in everyday life, one step at a time.

The aim is not to turn you into someone who can bear even more. It is to make the situation more sustainable and make room for your needs and wishes alongside the other person’s. You decide which changes you want to try and which boundaries are possible in your situation.

Difficulties with self-esteem may show themselves in judging yourself harshly, comparing yourself with others or feeling that you have to perform, adapt or gain approval to be good enough. Perhaps your own needs take a back seat, or you avoid things that stir uncertainty. This can bring relief for a while but also put self-doubt more in charge.

We explore when self-criticism takes over, what demands you place on yourself and how other people’s reactions affect you. The aim is not for you to always feel confident or positive about yourself, but to increase your freedom to express what you need, set boundaries and do things that matter, even when uncertainty is there.

Performance anxiety may show itself both in working longer and harder than you have the energy for and in putting off or avoiding tasks. Perhaps you check or prepare more than you want to, go over the same thing again and again or struggle to hand something over. This can give a sense of control for the moment but also make the task more charged and take time away from recovery or other things that matter.

We explore which situations stir the pressure, what you are afraid will happen and how your ways of managing it affect you in the short and long term. The aim is to increase your freedom to begin, finish when something is good enough and take part in things you want to do, even when you feel nervous or uncertain.

Grief is a human response to loss and need not mean that something is wrong. It may follow a death, a separation, changed health, a future that did not turn out as you had imagined or something else that mattered deeply. Reactions may shift and take the form of longing, low mood, anger, worry, guilt, emptiness or tiredness. You do not need to wait until everyday life has stopped working to seek support.

The sessions can offer a place to share grief, understand what is happening in the process and explore what feels hard to move on from. The aim is not to hurry past grief or make it disappear, but to help you find your way within it and live with what has happened while leaving room for what still matters to you.

Sleep difficulties can have several interacting causes. Worrying, rumination, stress, low mood, habits and your life situation can affect sleep. Sometimes physical problems or medication may also play a part and need medical assessment. We therefore begin by mapping out what your sleep is like, when the difficulties arise and what may contribute to them.

From this, we choose how to work with the psychological aspects. That may involve sleep habits and patterns, but also how you manage worrying, rumination, stress or wakefulness. The aim is to reduce what keeps the difficulties going and create better conditions for sleep and recovery.

After difficult or frightening events, memories, feelings or bodily reactions can make themselves felt when you do not expect them. You may become more watchful, struggle to sleep or concentrate, feel shut down or avoid reminders of what happened. Reactions may come straight away or much later. You do not need to have PTSD or C-PTSD to seek help.

We explore what stirs the reactions, how they show up in you and how your ways of managing them affect you. The work can focus both on traumatic memories and on reactions in everyday life, and is adapted to your situation, regardless of diagnosis. The aim is for what happened, and your reactions to it, to govern your life less, and to increase your scope to be present and do things that matter to you.

Obsessions may be unwanted thoughts, images or impulses that stir distress, doubt or a strong sense of responsibility. To find relief or try to be certain, you may check, wash, arrange, repeat, avoid or seek reassurance from others. Rituals can also happen in your thoughts, for example by counting or repeating words in a particular way. The relief may be brief, while the pattern takes up more space over time. When the pattern takes a great deal of time or limits everyday life, it may be obsessive-compulsive disorder, OCD, but you do not need to know whether that is the case to seek help.

We explore what sets the pattern in motion, how you relate to the thoughts and what you do to reduce distress or reach certainty. I work with metacognitive principles, focusing on where attention gets stuck and which ways of managing the thoughts keep the pattern going. MCT has shown good results for OCD and, in comparative studies, has produced results on a par with ERP. Which treatment fits best still needs to be assessed individually. If phobia exposure therapy or ERP is judged to fit your particular difficulties better, I refer you on. The aim is for the compulsions to take less time and give you more freedom to do things that matter to you.

I offer psychological support before, during and after a change. You do not need to have made a decision to get in touch. We can explore what function the use serves, what makes change difficult and how you can relate to worry, cravings, discontinuation symptoms or withdrawal. The sessions can be a place to talk questions through, get support when things are difficult and find your way towards appropriate care or other help.

I am responsible for the psychological support. Medical assessment, detoxification and decisions about medication or dosage are not part of it. These are handled by a doctor or addiction services when needed. The sessions can take place alongside medical care. With your consent, I can also work with your doctor or another healthcare contact.

Not everything that leads to therapy is a clear symptom or something that can easily be given a diagnosis. Sometimes it is about living on autopilot, feeling a stranger to your own life or wondering what you really want to carry forward. These questions may also become clearer in periods of change, when a relationship ends, your identity or body changes, work loses meaning or the future suddenly looks different.

We pause at what feels unclear and explore what has lost its meaning, what actually matters to you and which direction you want to take. What was there before may no longer hold, while what is new has not yet taken shape. The sessions can make room to put what is happening into words and make more deliberate choices about how you want to live from here.
