Psychotherapy in Gothenburg
You probably want to know what kind of psychologist I am. There are a lot of complicated words that can be used to describe my theoretical base - psychodynamic, existential, interpersonal. In short, it means that I start from who you are, who you have been and what you are becoming in relation to yourself and others around you.
My view on psychotherapy
I believe that the therapeutic meeting and the relationship is the most important aspect in psychotherapy. It creates the conditions for working towards a freer way of being. Seeing a psychologist can be many different things, depending on your situation and your needs. Psychotherapy is about exploring your different sides, in a safe, trusting and professional relationship, and discovering new parts of yourself. Gaining clarity about one's situation can reduce suffering and improve quality of life.
The sense of meaning and belonging is central to how we as humans experience life. Gaining an increased capacity to perceive and distinguish emotions, desires and inner states is an invaluable skill that facilitates virtually all aspects of life. Healthy relationships and a realistic and reliable self-image enable completely different ways of facing our difficulties.
Human beings express their essence through art, philosophy, play and literature. By using these arts, I believe it is possible to get closer to human existence. This addition to scientific psychology makes it, in my opinion, more empirical, not less.
By looking inwards and increasing self-awareness we have a greater possibility to choose our direction and to live in a comfortable and authentic way. With me, there is no ambition to make you "normal" or "like everyone else". On the contrary, I think that the unique expression is exactly what makes it possible to face the world in a valuable way and to feel alive.
Credentials in psychotherapy
The psychologist license issued by the National Board of Health and Welfare contributes to safe and quality care. It refers to the psychologist's educational requirements, scientific foundation and the patient safety that this entails. I have received my own psychology education at Örebro University. I am also trained as an authorized existential psychologist through the Society for Existential Psychotherapy and am currently studying a further education in group therapy at The Center for Group Studies in New York.
