Methods in treatment

I work primarily with evidence-based methods: cognitive therapy, metacognitive therapy and schema therapy. Which method we use depends on what you come to me with, on your goals and on what best helps you move forward.

The methods are not applied mechanically. They are adapted to you. And whatever the method, the trusting collaboration between us is a central part of the treatment. Here you can read about how I work.

Cognitive therapy

Cognitive therapy is an effective, evidence-based method for treating conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, OCD and low self-esteem. We work with the connection between your thoughts, feelings and actions and try out changes in your everyday life. It is the backbone of everything I do.

Collaboration and alliance

What matters most is the psychologist’s relational skills, the ability to create a trusting alliance, and an evidence-based method. Good therapy begins with you feeling heard, and with us setting goals and adjusting the work together.

Metacognitive therapy

Metacognitive therapy builds on cognitive therapy and is used for generalised anxiety and for rumination in depression, among other things. We look at how you relate to your thoughts, especially when worry and rumination take over.

Schema therapy

Schema therapy has its roots in cognitive therapy and is used for psychological difficulties that stem from serious neglect in childhood. We work with the patterns that repeat throughout life, their background and the way they steer you today.
