Being from outside of Denmark and moving here to study, work, escape or settle is hard! At least that's what most internationals think when relocating to one of the world's happiest countries. 

Denmark is a highly conformist country that values sameness (along with white walls and black clothes - the irony being that my website has been designed to fit this Danish style, whereas my English website are usually a not more fanciful!). 

Relocating to a new country is never easy, especially not with a language like Danish! 

It makes it even harder when moving to an insular country where small-talk and socialising outside of your existing network isn't a thing. 

I specialise working with non-conformist and colourful people who feel or experience the world differently, whether it be due to their creativity, high intelligence, mental struggles or world views. 

And though I'm a Dane, I left Denmark when I was 21 because I just couldn't figure out how to fit into my native country. Living abroad made me feel at home and though I returned to Denmark in 2021, I still feel like an outsider. 

Moving away from your culture, your network of friends and family, your own norms and traditions is hard enough but adding the trickiness of navigating the Danish system, language and social norms can make it an even harder, rather than joyous experience. 

You're so welcome here at my practice, which name, directly translated is "curly brains" - a Danish way of saying untraditional, non-normative, creative, expansive, outside-of-the-box, sometimes more sensitive thinkers and sensory beings. Usually, it is us with curly brains that end up in therapy, wondering why the world around us and the people in it are so strange, while the message is that we're the outliers. 

After leaving Denmark at 21, I moved to London, followed by New Zealand and Australia. I returned to London until the financial crisis that started in 2008 drove me to Scotland.

Here I gained a BSc and MSc in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and a Diploma in Coaching (and later, Coaching Supervision). 

My passion is the human condition and everything that shapes it from psychology, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, linguistics, history and everything in between. 

How I Work

I have an eclectic approach to how I work as a therapeutic coach. That means I use different methods, frameworks and approaches that I tailor after your needs and wishes. 

I've trained as a pluralistic counsellor which means I'll meet you where you're at and not where you think you 'should' be, based on external messages. 

I don't believe there's one right way of being or way of working. It's a collaboration, based on mutual feedback.

I use my knowledge and background in psychology to inform our work together, sharing helpful, science-based and data-driven information (psychoeducation) and I use therapeutic methods to be able to hold a safe and reflective space for you to go as deep as you want and feel safe to do. I add coaching strategies to this, to make sure we're moving towards something helpful and not just staying stuck in the discomfort of now.

I welcome your diagnosis but I'd prefer to work with what makes you tick, happy, frustrated and who you are as a unique human. 

I work in an affirmative way, using approaches from narrative therapy, compassion-focussed therapy, existentialism, parts work, somatic practices, positive psychology, transactional analysis and non-rigid cognitive behaviour therapy concepts (or, rather, the original source of stoicism).

I've developed my own framework for holding these many approaches, methods, ideas and individual preferences that I call L.I.A.H. - Learning, Insight, Acceptance, Habits.
