My expertise lies in working closely with individuals who have faced scapegoating, as well as helping those dealing with anxiety, depression, and other emotional concerns. Together, we'll explore and overcome these challenges, paving the way for a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Let's take this journey of healing and growth together.
Together, we will find the solution in places you have probably never looked before.
Hello, my name is Henrik and I am a clinical and neurocognitive psychologist. I have been working in the field of mental health for almost a decade, helping individuals from all walks of life overcome challenges and improve their well-being.
I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients, and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a crucial aspect of the healing process. I look forward to working with you and helping you navigate your journey towards greater happiness and fulfilment.
I am convinced that: 1. nothing works in counseling without feelings, 2. counseling must be a little unsettling, 3. counseling should last as long as necessary and as short as possible.

How we could
work together
Let's embark on this journey together, tailoring our approach to suit your needs and working collaboratively towards your well-being.
Online counseling provides a therapeutic partnership where I offer a secure and non-judgmental virtual setting for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns. In this digital environment, we'll delve into issues significant to you, whether they're related to relationships, personal growth, anxiety, or other life aspects. As your counselor, I'm committed to listening attentively, providing empathetic support, and guiding you toward insights and solutions, all through our online sessions.
Throughout our virtual meetings, you'll develop deeper self-awareness, cultivate effective coping strategies, and work towards realizing your objectives. Whether you're seeking short-term solutions or are on a path to long-term personal development, online counseling is a collaborative process centered on your well-being and progress, offering the convenience and flexibility of engaging from your preferred location.
Integrative counseling represents a comprehensive approach that draws from diverse therapeutic models to create a bespoke and adaptable support strategy. During our collaborative work, I will integrate various techniques and theories to suit your individual needs. This approach acknowledges that there's no universal solution for mental and emotional well-being. Instead, we'll explore and combine the most valuable aspects of different approaches, ensuring a wide range of concerns can be addressed.
By blending these varied methods, we can tailor our sessions to correspond with your preferences and aspirations. This adaptable method allows us to evolve and modify our strategies as we proceed, guaranteeing you receive the most effective support as you journey towards positive transformation.
Systemic counseling takes a broader view, considering the impact of relationships, environments, and contexts on your well-being. This approach acknowledges that we're all part of complex systems, such as families, workplaces, and communities, which influence our thoughts and behaviors. In our sessions, we'll explore how these systems interact and how they may contribute to your challenges.
By understanding these dynamics, we can uncover patterns, improve communication, and foster healthier relationships. Systemic counseling is particularly effective for couples and families, as it focuses on enhancing connections and resolving conflicts within these interconnected systems.
Psychodynamic counseling delves into the unconscious mind to explore the underlying causes of your emotions and behaviors. By analyzing past experiences and relationships, we can gain insights into how they shape your present thoughts and actions. This approach emphasizes the significance of the counseling relationship itself – the bond we forge plays a crucial role in your personal development journey.
Through introspection and open dialogue, psychodynamic counseling can lead to profound self-awareness, uncovering hidden motivations and facilitating personal growth. Our sessions will provide a secure space for you to process and understand your feelings, leading to increased insight, resolution of inner conflicts, and positive transformation.
Main areas of my work
Anxiety and panic
Anxiety is a universal human experience that affects each of us in different forms and intensities. From my own past, I know how challenging this path can be. This personal experience enables me to develop a deep empathy and understanding for my clients. In my work, I focus intensively on dealing with fears - whether in the form of specific phobias, generalised anxiety disorder or situational fears. My aim is to help people understand their fears, accept them and find ways to deal with them better. Together we work on not only overcoming anxiety, but also developing a stronger and more confident self.
Family-related topics
In my practice, I have a particular focus on family dynamics and challenges. My own experience as part of a difficult family enables me to understand first-hand the profound problems and complex emotions that can arise in a family context. This personal understanding forms the basis of my work and enables me to approach my clients with a particularly empathetic and understanding attitude. Whether you are dealing with conflict, relationship problems or coping with family history, I am here to support you with experience and empathy.

Some common questions
Before your initial session, consider spending some time contemplating your motivations for pursuing counseling and any specific objectives you may have in mind. Come prepared with an open attitude and readiness to participate in a candid dialogue. Our first encounter will be centered on establishing a rapport and setting a relaxed environment for our collaborative efforts. Should you have any additional inquiries or need more details, feel free to reach out.

The booking process is streamlined and accessible directly on the website. To reserve your session, simply select the desired session from the booking section and the payment will be processed automatically. This is done in advance of the session.

Counseling can benefit anyone seeking support, self-discovery, or personal growth. It's especially helpful if you're dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or life transitions. The initial consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns and determine whether counseling aligns with your needs. If you decide not to continue with counseling after the first consultation, a full refund will be provided, ensuring that you can make this important decision with comfort and without financial worry.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of our counselling process. Your privacy is paramount, and anything discussed during our sessions remains strictly confidential, except in exceptional circumstances outlined in our privacy policy.
The number of sessions needed depends on your individual situation and objectives. Short-term therapy for specific issues may require fewer sessions, whereas more complex concerns might call for a longer-term approach. As a guiding principle, I believe in counseling that lasts as long as necessary but is as brief as possible. However, I am committed to being there for as long as my clients need me, from a quick 100-meter sprint to a full marathon. We will regularly discuss your progress and needs, allowing us to adjust the number of sessions as needed to best support your journey.
Individual counseling sessions are typically 50 minutes. Prices for each session type can be found on the booking page of the website. The frequency of sessions can vary based on your preferences and the nature of the issues you're addressing. Some clients find weekly sessions beneficial, while others may prefer bi-weekly or monthly appointments. We'll collaborate to determine a schedule that aligns best with your individual needs.
Counseling sessions offer a secure and private environment for you to delve into your thoughts, feelings, and issues. In these sessions, we'll engage in candid and unbiased conversation, aiming to gain understanding, build coping mechanisms, and encourage personal development. Every session is customized to meet your specific needs and objectives, providing a nurturing setting for constructive transformation.
