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

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.

As the days get darker, sometimes this transition can result in kids acting out a bit more. Sharing a couple of videos around kids acting out, and some thoughts for parents to take a different perspective or support themselves more:

I love this very sweet way of looking at needs. Maslow`s Hierarchy of Needs is a really good way generally to help clients conceptualise what selfcare or `meeting your needs` can look like, and this is an alternative.

Autumn two years ago. The seasons come and the seasons go. Transitions, change, impermanence, yet, with nature, a deeper constance and continuity than exists in our urban, manmade worlds.

Today`s gorgeous colours at school drop off, and a quick trip to the shops. 🧡💛

🍕 FOOD and EATING 🥨
Some people have been asking for support on ‘fussy eaters’.
I’ve listed all my videos below around this topic, in case any are of interest, as I don’t have time to do a new one right now. I will try to get round to doing one specifically on the `food ladder` approach, as we`re finally having some success with it!
Hope some of these are some help to some of you!
If anyone has more questions, please post in the comments, and maybe between us, we can reply together, as I`m sure between us all, we have a huge amount of creative ideas!
DISCLAIMER - I am not a dietitian or a nutritionist, and these thoughts and ideas purely come from my own experience as a parent in an ND family, with one child with a diagnosis of ARFID.

I`m so proud of my mama for completing something she`s been working on, slowly, for years. An achievement at the age of 85 - translating an old Croatian classic story.
(And the beautiful photo is of her when she was young).

Homemade apple juice. Delicious, very easy to make, but so messy, smushing pulp through a muslin. Can`t work out if it is sensory hell or glorious.
