Therapies

Regardless of the counseling method used, you can expect to meet a committed and responsive therapist who, with curiosity and professionalism, wants to understand your situation and your challenges. Our work is based on a non-judgmental approach where we explore patterns, contexts and possible ways forward together. The focus is not on giving advice or ready-made solutions, but on understanding together what affects your well-being and how you can find a more sustainable direction in life.

Our working methods for psychotherapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on the interaction between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. CBT is a collaborative effort between you and your therapist where you are supported to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior.

Unlike other forms of therapy, which can focus on the past and internal conflicts, CBT is more focused on the present and on concrete strategies for change. Treatment is often structured, goal-oriented and usually involves exercises both inside and outside the therapy room to create lasting changes in everyday life.

Interpersonal therapy (IPT) is a treatment method that focuses on how our relationships affect our well-being. The basic idea is that mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety, often arise or are exacerbated by difficulties in important relationships. By understanding and changing the way we interact with others, we can reduce psychological distress and improve our quality of life.

IPT helps to identify specific problem areas, such as conflict, grief, role changes or loneliness. Together with the therapist, you explore how these factors affect your mental health and actively work on developing more effective strategies in relationships. The therapy is structured and focuses on the here and now, with the aim of creating positive changes in both relationships and wellbeing.

Psychodynamic therapy (PDT) focuses on understanding and changing the patterns that influence how we relate to ourselves and others. By exploring past experiences and their impact on current relationships and emotional life, the therapy can contribute to increased self-awareness and greater freedom in how you relate to your surroundings.

The therapist is active in the conversation and helps to discover recurring patterns, reflect on their origins and sometimes challenge habitual ways of thinking and feeling. A central part of PDT is working with feelings – understanding, processing and putting them into words – in order to create deeper meaning and change.

Sudden life events or difficult experiences can affect us deeply and lead to severe stress, anxiety or post-traumatic symptoms. We can help you process what has happened and find strategies to regain a sense of safety and balance. We work with established methods, such as trauma-focused therapy, Written Exposure Therapy (WET) and EMDR, to help you move forward.

Existential therapy explores the fundamental issues that affect people’s mental health and well-being, such as meaning, freedom, responsibility, loneliness and mortality. It helps individuals to understand their own life situation, values and choices.

In our context, existential perspectives are integrated with empirically supported methods to help clients cope with psychological difficulties. The therapy can be particularly helpful during life crises, losses or when a person experiences a sense of emptiness or meaninglessness. Treatment aims not only to relieve symptoms but also to strengthen the individual’s ability to live more in accordance with their own values and to create a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

Grief is a natural part of life, but sometimes a loss can feel overwhelming and difficult to deal with on your own. We offer support in processing grief, understanding its impact and finding ways to live with what has happened. Therapeutic conversations can provide a safe space to explore feelings and make sense of a new life situation.

When difficulties arise in a close relationship, it can be helpful to get support in understanding each other better. Couples and relationship therapy provides a safe place to explore communication, closeness and shared patterns – together with a professional counselor.

In families, we are affected by each other – for better or worse. Family therapy helps you listen, understand and find new ways to deal with difficulties together. The sessions are led by a therapist who supports you in creating more understanding and interaction in the family.
