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

✨ Opening for new supervisees ✨

I’m pleased to share that I’m now welcoming new supervisees into my practice. I offer online supervision via video, audio, SMS and email, with in-person sessions also available in Stockholm.

🌿 To mark this, I’m offering a half-price spring concession for anyone booking their first session by the end of April.

I’m a neurodivergent counsellor with 15 years’ experience in private practice. My core training is in Gestalt therapy, but I work across modalities. I specialise in identity-focused work, particularly with:

🔆 Neurodivergent teens and adults
🔆 Mixed cultural identities

I especially welcome neurodivergent therapists, counsellors and coaches, as well as practitioners working with ND clients, but I would love to work with any practitioners that are seeking a collaborative, reflective, creative and neuro-affirming approach, supporting you to deepen insight and feel resourced in your work.

🌿 If you’d like to find out more or to arrange a free introductory call, feel free to message me. Please do share this anyone else you think might benefit from an empathic and neuro-affirming approach!

I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about screen use among children and young people.

Probably not for the reasons you might expect. I’m actually far more pro than many, and it bothers me how often `screens` get lumped into one harmful, mindless category, as if everything digital is inherently damaging.

Yes, digital lives should have rules and boundaries as any other part of life, but too often we make assumptions that are not true, or fuelled by ignorance or fear.

And now for a personal share. The link shows a video that my 12-year-old was watching before school the other day, and it’s pretty typical of the kind of content he chooses. He’s also currently coding his own AI, and he’s designing images in Blender. He’s self directing his learning in ways that genuinely work for him.

I`ve been judged for allowing my kids as much screen time as they have, especially YouTube, before they go to school and when they come home, but for them screens regulate, as well as educate.

For many ND children, screen use can offer access to learning that traditional settings sometimes can’t. And in some cases, it can do much more than educate: it can support, connect and even save lives - and I do not say that lightly, but from the perspective of someone who has seen this.

I`d love to hear others` thoughts and - as always - am open to thoughtful discussion with anyone who’s curious about my take on things. And if you`re worried about your own kid(s), and would like a guided session to work through how to change things, please get in touch to book a session with me!

For now, I’m off to start my latest CPD on working with children and young people - particularly looking forward to the section about digital lives.
