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

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.

The auras of people – what are they, what do they mean? Making sense of our assumptions

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.

This sequence of images taken in Austria is known as `Nina`s stages of morning awakening.`
Tea and feet is first, food and second tea is the next one, and happy Nina is the final one! 🤣

I thought I`d planned everything this year. After a day travelling through Sweden, the car developed some ambiguous troubles and we almost abandoned the trip. Rather delayed and tired, we made the decision to push on through Denmark.
Travelling with a kid with ARFID can be very tricky. ND family life generally can be tricky, and travelling adds more to what needs to be considered. We unfortunately broke the girlie`s safe travel mug at some point in our travels, so now she won`t/can`t drink hot chocolate (which means no multivitamins or melatonin until we find a suitable substitute) and she ate all her cake (her current safe food, along with hot chocolate!). After finally getting the kids to bed around midnight, I crashed, and then woke early to bake a batch of cupcakes in a kitchen that was woefully equipped. Memories from childhood flooded my mind, of dad beating cake mix with a wooden spoon instead of a mixer, how luxurious life is today! Anyway, I managed it and she`s eaten the first few with a singular comment of "they`re a bit crusty" ("Yes darling, the cooker had no markers between 150 and 200°C so it was a bit of guess work, while I was half asleep."). I hope the rest is acceptable!
l had a very nice view for brekkie, ten minutes of blissful peace in an otherwise chaotic morning. Onward through Germany to Austria today.

I will be taking a break from social media during July to focus on my small ones during their school holidays. Back in August! 😊 ...
I came across an excellent article about the differences between an autistic experience of the world versus a neurotypical one. It is a clear reminder not to make judgements based on your own experience.
In my own personal and professional experience, I have seen these experiences of joy not just in autistic clients, friends and family, but also in ADHDers. I remain curious about the overlap, and how these experiences intersect.
It is a quick read, and really expresses very well some of the joys of autism (and ADHD).
