Remote therapy and consultancy from the convenience of your home or office, plus face to face or outdoor options
I work with issues relating to identity or belonging, including mixed culture, suspected or diagnosed neurodivergence, or GSRD
I will give you a safe and confidential space, free of judgement, to explore whatever is difficult in your life, and to help you identify what you might want to change

One-to-one,

In-person therapy, indoors and outdoors
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.
I’m Nina
I am a native English-speaking therapist offering in-person sessions in north west Stockholm, and remote work for all clients, whether in Sweden or internationally.
I am a UK-accredited Gestalt therapist with 30 years’ experience in the fields of mental health and psychology, and as a therapist since 2010. I work creatively, using whatever helps you to understand yourself or your situation better.
I specialise in helping people who struggle to fit in, or don’t know where they belong, especially where issues arise through living a mixed culture life, suspected or diagnosed neurodivergence (e.g. ADHD, PDA, dyslexia, autism), the twin relationship, or confusion around gender, sexuality or relationships.

I love it when my fridge is full of reminders of my holidays, of memories of different temperatures, climates, sounds and smells. 💜 #holidays #food #memories #sensory
All types of children are welcome in my home, all types of children are loved in my home. We need to stop with uni-dimensional expectations of kids and criteria by which we judge a child`s value. #adhd #autism #neurodivergent #neurotypical
If you`re in Zagreb I highly recommend @kaistreetfoodbar - a tiny haven offering delicious fusion/Asian food with excellent service - this place was an oasis in a day of tortuous administrative hell.

With the travel mug replaced, and her belly not hungry, she felt safe to try a few new things. Pom Bears have become an acceptable new item, which is really helpful as we cannot get her main safe food here.
But this, bubblegum, represents the biggest shift and most positive change. She wanted it, she hated it, but she persevered, because "Maybe if I keep trying, I might be able to tolerate it, and I really want to like it."
I don`t expect this huge mindshift to have an impact now, maybe not even in the next six months, but it represents the start of a new way of thinking about taste, flavour, food and acceptance, and this makes my heart dance with joy! Even writing these words makes the gratitude and thankfulness want to spill out through my eyes.

We found a solution to the mug issue, and I loved them so much, I got one for me and one for the boy too. And they`re eco friendly, microwaveable and dishwasherable! All round excellent solution.
Thanks @ah_iva for finding this for us, and thanks @sol_i_papar for the service!

Found a temporary acceptable solution. She`s not really eaten since yesterday lunchtime so this is awesome! Her lid and straw, with my mug. I`m ecstatic!
Update: she`s asked for spaghetti too - whoop!!

Lots of tricky things we`ve had to navigate this year so far, but I see change. Girlie is no longer terrified of ants, and spent our lunch break feeding them bits of my sandwich, and giving them water from her own water bottle. Amazingly she`s also tried a blackberry, and some other bits I no longer recall. Public toilets are not seen as such a no go as previous years either. Both kids are calmer and more able to handle changes. Things are in many ways easier than last year, and so I have hope!

Beautiful things in Austria, other than the obviously gorgeous mountains.
