Individual therapy
Are you struggling with anxiety, stress or depression? Do you feel alone and/or in a life crisis? You are not the only one. We all experience mental health suffering at some point in our lives.
How can therapy help you?
Therapy can be life changing. Through the therapy you will get to know yourself in a much deeper way. You will start to see patterns in your life, you do without knowing, understanding why you do them and where they come from. Therapy can improve your life and help alleviate your suffering.
Through individual therapy you can:
- Improve your emotional and mental health.
- Take a new perspective on your behaviors.
- Accept and open up to yourself, your situation and your thoughts and feelings.
- Identify your core values and how to commit to living them.
- Learn how to emotionally regulate your feelings through willingness.
- Learn how to act, instead of react from difficult thoughts and feelings.
- Become aware of the root cause of your suffering, thus being able to change.
- Be more present with yourself, others and the world around you.
What can you expect from individual therapy?
In the first session we uncover the psychological issues you are struggling with and identity, what your life would be like, if our therapy succeed. Furthermore I share how the therapy works through the ACT process. Within the first session you can feel into, wether I am the right therapist for you. After choosing to begin the therapy, we then agree on the number of sessions. This will be based on the type of treatment appropriate for you.
In the following sessions we work towards overcoming your suffering, so you can move in the direction of life, you want. Throughout the individual therapy, I give you different ACTskills, exercises and mindfulness techniques, which you can use to make big changes in how you handle your thoughts and emotions. We gently uncover the root cause of your problems. By doing so you will be able to alleviate your suffering.
In individual therapy I help you to change your behaviors. This can be extremely difficult, when you are in a challenging life situation and stuck in your reactive emotions and thoughts. Most negative or bad thoughts, emotions and situations we try to avoid, get rid of or control. We do this to avoid pain, but at what cost to your life and the people you love? In therapy I help you use acceptance with your emotions, thoughts and situations instead of avoiding them. By doing so you can do things differently, in a way that aligns with your unique values and then experience freedom to live the life you choose.
My experience as a psychotherapist.
The combination of being an international myself and having my psychotherapy training and specialty in ACT, gives me a unique ability to help you. I have personally experienced, how much using ACT has transformed my own life as well as the lives of many clients.
Within the therapeutic space, it is important that I, as the therapist, and you, as the client, connect and create a strong alliance. Through this alliance I can help you professionally on a much deeper level than what a friend, family member or colleague can do.
No two individuals are the same. In individual therapy the sessions are created around you and what you bring into the therapeutic space to work with.
