I offer creative and intuitive supervision of counselling and psychotherapy work for therapists around the world – working across modalities.

I’m Nina
I am a native English-speaking therapist offering sessions remotely around the world, and remotely or in-person in Stockholm, Sweden.
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 adapt our sessions to suit you and your needs, offering a genuine, calm and accepting space – with the aim of supporting you as much as possible in whatever you need to talk about.
Although therapy is often available via public health routes, 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 around your sessions.

Most people who know me know that I primarily work with neurodivergent clients - especially autistic, ADHD, and gifted adults. I also work with highly successful leaders, professionals, and business owners, including many who identify as neurotypical.
Regardless of background or success, the themes are often very similar: identity, transition, and the feeling that something just isn’t quite aligned. Sometimes people wonder, “How did I get here?”
Counselling isn’t only for people experiencing crisis or major trauma. Often it’s simply for people who know they’re capable of more, or who want life to feel more meaningful, authentic and manageable.
Often, the things holding us back are subtle and deeply ingrained:
• self-limiting beliefs
• childhood conditioning
• perfectionism
• people-pleasing
• living according to expectations rather than authenticity
Sometimes even small shifts in awareness, boundaries or self-understanding can create profound change.
Counselling can help you better understand yourself, strengthen relationships, navigate parenting and family life, build confidence at work, and reconnect with who you are beneath the pressures of everyday life.
I firmly believe there is always hope for change, growth, greater peace, and a more fulfilling life. The path forward may not always look how we imagined, but it can become clearer, lighter and more aligned with who we truly are.
One passage I often reflect on comes from the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 47:
🌿 “You have control over your actions alone, never over their results. Do not let the fruits of action be your motive, nor let yourself become attached to inaction.”
To me, this speaks to showing up authentically, doing the work, and letting go of rigid attachment to outcomes.
If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I’d love to support you. Feel free to reach out for an initial conversation.

One of the lesser-discussed strengths of ADHD is curiosity. Research has shown that the hyperactivity-impulsivity traits associated with ADHD are positively correlated with curiosity - and the higher the hyperactivity and impulsivity traits, the stronger that drive to explore and discover can be.
For me, curiosity has always been one of my favourite traits. I’m deeply interested in people - their stories, what gives them meaning, what makes them happy, and how they experience the world. I get genuine joy from connecting with others, even in the briefest moments of interaction.
That same curiosity also shapes how I connect with my environment. It’s noticing a tiny plant thriving in a sea of concrete, the way a raindrop lands on a leaf, or the small details in everyday life that so often go unseen. These moments ground me, nurture my wellbeing, and deepen my sense of joy and connection to the world around me.
In many roles - including my own - curiosity is not just valuable - it changes how I do everything. It can be transformative. It drives my learning, my empathy and my creativity, and it leads more quickly to meaningful human connection.
Really interesting research from King’s College London on the “curious side” of ADHD: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/the-curious-side-of-adhd-how-hyperactive-impulsive-traits-may-fuel-the-urge-to-explore
Edit to add: curiosity also fuels late night doom scrolling - but everything has its balance in life! 🤪

Yesterday, carving out ten minutes of bliss, towards the end of a very busy day. I’m doing better at taking short quality breaks, and this one allowed me to successfully navigate the evening, when we all have a lot less energy and a lot less capacity.

My to do list is the only way I function – this way I don`t forget EVERYTHING.
Unfortunately, I can`t make this out at all, and it`s definitely not `sum`. Any guesses???

My brilliant 12-year-old! The charging/power port on his fan stopped working, so he opened it up, connected it directly inside to the power supply, and got it running again. I’m deeply impressed with his creativity, curiosity, persistence and problem-solving skills.
Some kids struggle in school not because they lack intelligence or ability, but because many schools don’t teach or test in ways that support everyone. We all learn in different ways, and some thrive best when they can follow their own curiosity and internal motivation, because when things feel arbitrary our brains shut down, and external pressure can feel like too great a demand.

🌿 Supervision of client work 🌿
I currently have space to take on a limited number of new supervisees, and I’m offering 50% off your first session.
🔅 I’m a neurodivergent therapist with 15 years of experience in private practice. My core training is in Gestalt, but I work across modalities. I specialise in identity-focused work, particularly around neurodivergence, sexuality, gender identity, relationships, and twin dynamics.
I especially welcome fellow neurodivergent therapists and counsellors, as well as anyone supporting neurodivergent clients.
If you’re looking for a supportive, creative and reflective supervision space to deepen your practice, I’d love to connect.
🌿 Message me to arrange a free introductory call or to book your first session.
I`ve been reading a lot recently about perimenopause, oestrogen and ADHD that are really resonating.
So many undiagnosed/non-medicated ADHD women develop excellent coping strategies in their lives, and hold things together pretty well...until oestrogen starts fluctuating. Then, nothing seems to work, and we experience constant feelings of failure.
And this isn’t just perimenopause: for some girls it’s puberty, and for some women, it’s pregnancy or the postpartum period that trigger unravelling or spiralling.
Time and time again, we see the same pattern: ADHD symptoms intensify at key hormonal transition points, moments when oestrogen levels fluctuate.
This makes absolute sense, because oestrogen plays a critical role in regulating dopamine, which is central to attention, motivation and executive function. Even more striking, emerging research suggests that women without ADHD may benefit from ADHD medication during perimenopause.
If we just stop here and absorb this - imagine then, how much harder it is for ADHD women, and how urgent a diagnosis and proper support becomes during this time of our lives.
This highlights a critical structural gap in how we understand, diagnose and support ADHD in women. Right now, diagnosis is still largely based on visible distress and dysfunction. 💥This has to change.💥 If ADHD were identified earlier - based on underlying traits, and biological and neurological differences, not just crisis points - then when hormonal changes hit, women and girls are ready to go to get immediate support.
Otherwise, we`re stuck with the current reality, which is when ADHD girls and women need help the most, this is when we start the intensive, exhausting and administratively very challenging years of referral, assessment and diagnosis.
Our current referral, assessment, diagnostic and support processes are biased - in the main - towards bodies (aka male) that do not have these oestrogen fluctuations. When is all this going to take fully into account the very different biological landscape of female bodies?
We absolutely have to do better.
