Mrs Kirsten Baldocchi

Clinical Psychologist

“An experienced Clinical Psychologist currently working with Expat Counselling to offer psycho-educational assessment for English-speaking children and adolescents (age 6 to 16 years).”

About Me

I am a clinical psychologist based in Birkerd, Copenhagen, Denmark. I treat life transitions, anxiety, conduct problems, grief, and mood disorders. I provide intellectual and diagnostic assessments, wellness support, online therapy, and play therapy.

Approach

My therapeutic approach is client-oriented and eclectic as I draw on best practice guidelines and therapeutic modalities suited to each client. However, I tend to favour a more practical approach, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, in order to facilitate symptom relief and change.
