People come to therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes there is something specific happening in life, perhaps difficulties in a relationship or at work, anxiety, loneliness, loss, or a period of change and transition. At other times there may not be something specific, but more a sense that things just don't feel quite right, or you don't feel like yourself anymore.

Therapy can give us space to slow things down and understand what is happening, allowing us to look at things differently. I believe that many of the difficulties we experience make sense when viewed within the context of our lives. Our relationships, environments, and histories all shape how we see ourselves and how we respond to the world around us.

For me, it is important that sessions are based around what feels relevant and helpful to you. I tend to work in an open and integrative way, where we can be curious together about what is happening in your life and what might actually be helpful to you.

I offer therapy in both English and Norwegian. Sometimes it is simply easier to talk about difficult or personal things in the language that feels most natural to you. As a native English speaker, I can offer therapy in English without language becoming another thing you have to think about.

I moved to Norway from Scotland many years ago and understand something of what it can mean to build a life somewhere that wasn't originally home, whether that is part of what brings you to therapy or simply part of the background.
