Kela eligibility: Individual therapy
I am a licensed psychotherapist and have a master’s degree in psychology. I am also a licensed physiotherapist and a specialist in mental health. I work integratively with schema therapy, CBT as a foundation, and with elements of PDT, Gestalt therapy, and attachment theory. I have extensive experience and training in mindfulness-based interventions (including MBCT, CFT, and ACT). With about 30 years of experience as a therapist at health centers, private clinics, and many years in outpatient psychiatry, I have treated patients with a wide variety of problems. In addition to patients with various anxiety disorders, depression, and exhaustion, I have seen many with trauma (PTSD), complex trauma, personality issues, relational difficulties, life crises, existential and spiritual questions, pain problems, and comorbidity. As a therapist, it is important to me to create a safe and compassionate atmosphere in therapy where you as a client feel that you can be yourself. Acceptance and openness in the relationship between me as a therapist and you as a client helps us to stay in touch with our good, helpful qualities and to trust the process. The collaboration between us needs to take into account both the immediate needs that you have but also long-term goals. Together we explore and create understanding in a flexible and responsive way. If we adapt our therapy to you as an individual with your needs in focus, the conditions for change become favorable.
