English speaking therapy for expats around the world, with face-to-face or outdoor options if you're based in Stockholm, Sweden

I specialise in working with adults and young people with ADHD or autism, mixed culture issues, or difficulties arising from gender, sexual or relationship diversity

I will give you a safe and confidential space to explore your difficulties, at your own pace, in your own time, and using English language

Services available

— 01

One-to-one,
remote therapy

I have full training and extensive experience in video, audio, and SMS therapy, as well as through email for those who may prefer no interruptions, or who struggle with regular time commitments.

In-person therapy, indoors and outdoors

For those living in Stockholm, Sweden, I offer sessions from a cosy confidential therapy cabin, or outdoor counselling (also known as walk and talk), where we sit or walk in a local nature spot.

Non-walking babies are welcome to attend your session with you.

Consultancy

I offer consultancy to teachers, carers and parents, around how to support young neurodivergent people at home or in the school environment (e.g. ADHD, PDA, autism).

This is for those that feel they are ‘out of ideas’, or that ‘traditional’ (aka neurotypical) parenting or teaching strategies aren’t working.

Remote sessions available wherever you are; or if you’re in Stockholm, we can book in an in-person session.

I’m Nina

I am a native English-speaking therapist working remotely with expats all over the world, and in-person with clients in Stockholm, Sweden. 

I am a UK-accredited Gestalt therapist with 30 years’ experience in the fields of mental health and psychology, and working as a therapist since 2010. I work creatively, using whatever helps you to understand yourself or your situation better. 

Although therapy is often available via public health routes, unlike private therapy, it can be a long wait, and it may not cater to your individual needs – such as type of therapy, specialisms, being able to work fluently in English, or the number of sessions offered. I am here to support you if you would prefer greater choice over how, and with whom, you undertake therapy sessions.

Anyone else struggle with well-known phrases, or completely misinterpret meanings of names of things?

I recently came across a short video featuring students from two different schools coming together to learn about each other’s cultures and beliefs. It offers a simple, yet powerful, reminder of the value of experiential learning, and of creating opportunities for young people to connect across perceived differences.

It struck me how impactful similar initiatives could be here in Sweden, not only in the context of culture or religion, but also when it comes to neurodivergence. 

Creating intentional spaces where students (and adults) can engage meaningfully with those who experience the world differently, whether through neurodivergence or cultural background, is key to building truly inclusive, empathetic communities.

These are the kinds of experiences that shape open minds and foster long-term social cohesion.
