Professional Foundation with a Human Approach
I believe that quality counseling must stand on two firm pillars – deep humanity and continuous professional development.
- Expertise and Practice: My work is grounded in real experience and a commitment to ongoing training in modern neurobiological approaches. I am a registered member of the international association CTha (Complementary Therapists Association). As I am currently based in Norway, I am actively working on my integration and establishment within local Norwegian professional associations that oversee counselors and therapists.
- Scope of Practice: I provide online counseling in accordance with Norwegian regulations for complementary and alternative care. I am not a clinical psychologist and I do not operate within the public healthcare system. My services focus on personal development, stress management, burnout, and processing emotional blocks. They do not replace formal psychiatric treatment or acute clinical psychotherapy.
- What this means for you: You will receive professional guidance that fully respects your unique pace. I do not look at you through charts or diagnoses. Instead, I offer a safe, respectful space where scientific knowledge about the brain meets an open, compassionate heart.
I see the value in psychological sessions. There are many experts, many different professionals, and personal approaches. We can choose. I personally prefer approaches that are based on openness and acceptance. I prefer to experience rather than talk. Authenticity and healing happen due to rewiring, body movement, breathing, calming the nervous system, and changing old mindsets. And these qualities and elements of counseling I can offer to clients. Accepting life as it is, welcoming whatever emerges.
Yoga can be helpful in psychological healing. Yoga helps patients safely inhabit their own bodies again (Dr. Bessel van der Kolk). – Helps to reconnect to the body. – Helps undo feeling of paralysis. – Helps tolerate sensations.
