Multicultural understanding
I am very aware that a need for therapy in English in Denmark means that you most probably are an expat, an international or in one way or another is navigating with more than one nationality/culture. That can bring both a lot of challenges and a lot of wealth to your life. I am here to explore that with you and support you in what is difficult to navigate in.
I grew up in a family of mixed nationality (Polish and Danish) and although the two countries are not geographically very far from each other. I always felt like they were very far from each other culturally. I stopped taking assumptions for granted and it spiked a personal interest for cultural differences. I would be happy to help you no matter your background or nationality, and I am humble towards the fact that I will have to put effort into trying to understand where you are coming from. If you help me, I will be pleased to be invited into your inner and outer landscape.
Suffering is inevitable. Suffering alone is intolerable

Individual Therapy
It is vulnerable and risky to open up and I am aware of how much bravery that requires. Therefore, I will try my best to create a safe space for you to explore what is vulnerable with me.
I have experience with individuals struggling with a variety of problems, whether that be personality disorders, PTSD, going through a life crisis, anxiety, depression, relational struggles, low self-esteem, eating disorders etc. If your need is outside of my expertise I have a network of psychologists whom I can redirect you to.
Methodologically, I am mainly trained in the psychodynamic tradition but I also find inspiration from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Couples Therapy
Does your relationship need support to guide you through difficulties?
Do you feel like you need help with communication?
Do you feel out of tune with each other somehow?
Did something happen in your relationship that is difficult to leave behind?
There is no problem too big or too small to work through in couples therapy. From the beginning of my studies I knew that couples therapy is my main interest, therefore I have extensive training with couples. I work mainly Emotion Focused (EFT) which means that we will work towards getting you more attuned emotionally to each other - because if you are a team, you can deal with anything life throws at you.
I also offer a couples workshop which is either 2-3 full days or 8 evenings of psycho-education about how build loving, healthy relationships with each other. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Teaching, supervision or courses
Do you need knowledge about mental health, psychological challenges, diagnoses, communication tools?
I have experience both as a supervisor for psychology students and teaching experience both in high schools and at Aarhus University.

About Anna
Value-based Clinical Therapy
I am a Clinical Psychologist with a Master in Psychology from Aarhus University.
It is important to me that my clinical practice is based on values that I personally agree with. I build my personal life onChristian valuessuch as love for my neighbour, forgiveness and the unwavering value and dignity of the human person, meaning that there is nothing a person can do to lose their worth and right to be fully respected and cared for. That being said, anyone is welcome in my clinic. I will not ask about your religious beliefs unless you would like to talk about it and therefore you bring it up yourself.
I believe in the value ofrelationshipsand I think a path to a good life is through giving importance to relationships. No man is an island. I also believe in ameaningfullife over a painless life. My primary goal in therapy is therefore not symptom reduction but searching for and creating meaning.
I also believe inholistic healthmeaning that psychological struggles usually also affect the person physically, socially and spiritually. I try my best to pay attention to the whole person.
Last but certainly not least it is important to me that the services I provide arehigh qualityand based on theory and empirical evidence. In order to provide that I receive regular supervision, I participate in courses and teach.
My methodological standpoint and training is mainlypsychodynamic and emotion focused (EFT)but I also find inspiration from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness based therapy.

No, unfortunately it is not possible.
How long do I have to wait to start therapy with you?
Currently, I do not have a waiting list. I can usually schedule a time with you within the next few weeks.
