Denmark's public mental health system has long waitlists, limited sessions, and operates in Danish. Private therapy in English exists in Copenhagen but the pool is small, and finding someone who does sustained depth work takes effort. Outside Copenhagen it's almost nonexistent.
I work with anyone who needs support in English and is living in Denmark. Relationship problems, a low you can't quite name, a persistent sense that something is off, something from years ago that's resurfaced.
Denmark has a remarkably high quality of life and a social world that takes a long time to enter. That combination of good conditions and quiet isolation can make difficulty harder to name and harder to take seriously. It's worth taking seriously anyway.
The work
The work I do is relational and pattern-focused. I don't run through intake checklists or assign exercises between sessions. I pay attention to what happens in the room: what you're saying, what you're not saying, the moments when something shifts or goes flat or speeds up. That's the material we work with.
Most people arrive already knowing the story of their situation. They've told it to themselves a hundred times and always land in the same place. What's missing is a different angle, someone watching in real time who can name what's invisible from inside it. That's what I offer. Not interpretation from a distance, but attention in the room, offered as it happens.
I work with individuals and couples. Individual work is usually about finding the pattern underneath the presenting problem, the thing that keeps recurring in different forms across different circumstances. Couples work is about finding what the argument is really about, which is rarely what it appears to be about. Both come down to the same thing: seeing what you haven't been able to see, and from there, actually being able to do something different.
One thing worth naming about Denmark specifically: the social reserve is real, and the question of whether to call yourself an expat or an immigrant or just someone who lives here now doesn't have a clean answer. You don't need to explain any of that from scratch.
Being in Denmark
Denmark has a particular quality for people who aren't from here. The country works well. The welfare state is real. People are friendly in a way that's genuine and contained at the same time, warm at a distance and slow to let you in. The social world opens on Danish terms, which usually means years.
For couples who moved here together, Denmark can be particularly lopsided: one person with a professional life already in place, one person building one from scratch, both trying to make it work while pretending the imbalance isn't there. That asymmetry is worth naming.
If any of that is part of what you're carrying, we can work with it. If what brings you has nothing to do with Danish culture, that's fine.
What people bring to online therapy
The people I work with in English come for a wide range of reasons: anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, anger management, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, loneliness, self-esteem issues, procrastination, sleep problems, attachment patterns, self-sabotage, perfectionism, identity questions, and existential concerns. Online counseling makes this work possible from wherever you are, whether you need an English-speaking therapist, a virtual counselor, or simply someone who can work in your language at a depth that matters.
How it works
Sessions are online via secure video call. I work with individuals and couples (60 minutes). Before your first session, we have a brief 15-minute call to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
