Psychological treatment for adults

I have 19 years’ experience as a psychologist and am a specialist in treating stress, OCD, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Whatever you come to me with, we start where you are, and with what keeps the problem alive. And it can get better.

Perhaps you recognise yourself in one of the cards here. Click on it to read how I work with exactly that.

Stress treatment

You sleep badly, forget appointments and get irritated by small things. Even when you have time off, you cannot relax, and you may have spent a long time trying to manage more than you had the strength for. We find out what is weighing on you, what you demand of yourself, and how to restore calm in your body.

“When I came to Therese I was completely worn down by stress, but she got me back on my feet at a pace that was exactly right for me.”
– Merete, 51

OCD treatment

You know it makes no sense to check the door again or wash your hands one more time. Still, you cannot stop, and the rituals take up more and more of your time. We work with the thoughts behind them and gradually practise leaving the rituals alone, at a pace we agree on together.

“For most of my life I have had OCD. It got so bad that I could not work … now I live a life together with my son, and I feel free of my OCD. It is a huge relief.”
– Anne, 46

Anxiety treatment

Anxiety tells you that whatever can go wrong will go wrong. So you avoid situations, plan escape routes or hold your breath until it is over. We examine what the anxiety is built on and practise, in small steps, the things you avoid today, until the anxiety no longer runs your day.

“I developed anxiety after years of work-related stress … we worked in a professional, solution-focused way towards change.”
– Man, 61

Strengthen your self-esteem

You can be good at your job and still feel that you are not good enough as a person. You are hard on yourself, apologise too much and try to live up to rules you never chose. We look at where the rules come from, and which of them still help you, so there is more room for you.

“I’m an expat in Denmark who sought help from Therese, initially because she speaks English. …I’m very happy with the progress I made”
– Karen, 36

Depression treatment

What used to bring joy feels empty. You do less, withdraw from others and see yourself and the future through a dark filter. We start with small steps that match the energy you have, and work with the thoughts that keep you stuck.

“Therese helped me change my outlook on life and my habits, so I could get my everyday life back on track.”
– Woman, 28
