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.

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.
