English-Speaking Therapist in Gothenburg.

The work

The work I do is relational and pattern-focused. I don't run intake checklists or assign homework between sessions; I pay attention to what happens in the session, the moments when something shifts or goes flat, and the recurring pattern underneath the presenting problem. Most people already know the story of their situation and keep landing in the same place. What's missing is someone watching in real time who can name what's invisible from inside it. More on how I work, and how I work with couples.

Therapy in Gothenburg: an industrial city short on English depth work

Sweden's public system gatekeeps hard and works in Swedish. Care runs through your vardcentral, waits can be long, treatment is typically short-term and CBT-oriented, and couples work sits largely outside the public system. Private individual sessions run roughly 1,000 to 1,500 kronor, more for couples, and English-speaking depth therapists are scarce outside Stockholm. Gothenburg draws international talent into automotive, manufacturing, and shipping, and the supply of English-language depth therapy is thin. This is private depth work in English, paid directly, outside the public system.

The Gothenburg patterns

The city has a grounded, west-coast character. The engineer or manager at Volvo, a supplier, or the port, hired or posted into a town that is friendly on the surface and slow to let outsiders in. The trailing partner navigating Swedish reserve and dark winters with their own career on hold. The high performer whose work is solid and whose inner life has flattened. Swedish culture prizes lagom and not making a fuss, which can leave a struggle unspoken for a long time. The work meets it directly, in fluent English.

Why people in Gothenburg work with me

Three reasons. Availability, first: English-language depth work is scarce and booked out here, and I have room. Fit, second: my entire practice is people living outside their home country, so being an international in Gothenburg needs no translating, and the work is depth-oriented. Privacy, third: I am outside the Swedish system entirely, with nothing on any public record. For public or in-person care, I will point you toward it.

Questions people ask from Gothenburg

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 free 15-minute call to see if this feels like the right fit for you.
