Find a Therapist In Sweden, Umeå

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. Professional Experience I have extensive experience as a humanitarian aid and social worker, supporting individuals and communities in vulnerable situations.
