I believe a good therapeutic relationship is about creating a safe space based on empathy and respect, and I relate to my clients in a non-judgmental, supportive, and positive way. I use a holistic foundation, person-centred framework, and eclectic approach that enable me to develop a unique, creative, inclusive, and practical approach with each client. I have experience working with clients with a variety of presenting issues from a broad range of backgrounds and cultures in the corporate, private, higher educational, psychiatric, and not-for-profit sector in Australia and Europe - both as a counsellor and as a non-counsellor. I work with adults, have an extensive interest in cultural diversity, transnational counselling, and reducing stigma around mental illness, and I am fluent in Swedish.
"What made me become a counsellor is my interest in people and their stories. I believe we all have stories that are important to acknowledge, reflect upon and learn from. As much as I truly believe we are all the experts in our own lives, we all sometimes need to share our stories with someone. It is my privilege to support individuals as they continue to write their own story."

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
