Find a Therapist In Sweden

If you are here, something inside you is asking for support. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying everything on your own. Therapy can be a space where you do not have to be strong all the time. A space to pause, to breathe, and to understand what is really happening inside you. Often, the hardest part is not therapy itself. It is sending that first message. Reaching out can feel vulnerable, uncomfortable, even scary. But it is also an act of courage and self-respect. If something in you is ready, even just a little, you can start by sending a simple message. We begin from there.

I earned my Master's in Budapest and specialized in Clinical and Health Psychology at ELTE University. My work and internship experiences helped me to practice in different areas such as clinical, school, and nursing homes.

I am a trauma-informed therapist and humanitarian professional with extensive experience supporting individuals affected by complex trauma, including incest, sexual abuse, domestic violence, honour-related violence, addiction, psychiatric challenges, and social exclusion. My work blends evidence-based psychotherapy with body-centered and somatic practices, creating a safe, grounded space for healing and transformation. My Approach My approach is compassionate, embodied, and client-centered. I integrate Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems (IFS), nervous system regulation, trauma-sensitive yoga, and breathwork to help clients uncover survival patterns, calm the nervous system, and reconnect with themselves. Sessions are held in a structured, attentive, and non-judgmental space, where healing unfolds at your pace. I believe in the innate capacity for self-healing, and my role is to walk alongside you with clarity, empathy, and practical tools for lasting change. Who I Work With I work primarily with adults who are survivors of complex trauma, including those affected by sexual abuse, domestic violence, honour-related violence, or chronic relational stress. My ideal clients are ready to explore healing beyond symptoms, seeking internal safety, emotional regulation, and a deeper connection with themselves. Together we work to build resilience, self-compassion, and the ability to respond rather than react to life’s challenges.

My work spans refugee support, social inclusion, mentoring, addiction care, psychiatric health care, Housing First projects, domestic violence, honour-related violence, incest, and sexual abuse.
