Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

I have worked for over 30 years with clients who have experienced complex trauma of various kinds. I more or less stumbled into this field, after receiving training in REM therapy, an extremely effective, yet safe and non-distressing, approach to defusing the effects of trauma (similar to EMDR).

I have helped hundreds of both male and female clients overcome the post-traumatic suffering resulting from horrendous experiences such as rapes, violent attacks, car accidents, wartime battles, and childhood abuse of all kinds; emotional-psychological, physical, and sexual - suffered in private homes as well as in institutional environments.

It never ceases to amaze me how, with appropriate support in the form of efficient therapy techniques, the human mind can heal from events that no human being should ever really have to experience. And the healing is often much quicker than they would have ever imagined possible. Clients who have been incapacitated by the effects of what they experienced half a lifetime ago, have in the span of only a few weeks returned to fully functioning, finally free from suffering and/or shame.

If you are interested in knowing more details, I will be happy to share some of the specific clinical case examples (de-identified, of course) with you in conversation. It is in general something that I advice prospective clients to do; have a chat over the phone with the person you consider seeing for counselling/therapy, so you get a sense of what they are like to talk to. Counselling/therapy is a very personal journey, after all, and you will want to know that the person you consider seeing feels right, for you.

I can usually fit new clients in within a week or two - depending on which specific days you are able to come to see me. The work is typically done in 1-hour sessions, spaced out with one or two weeks between sessions, and often requires less than ten sessions, even for very traumatic experiences - yes, I know, it sounds almost too good to be true, but this time it is true, as many previous clients can confirm!

My clinic is located in a quiet suburban setting with good public transport access and plenty of parking in the street outside. The bottom floor of the building is taken up by my office and clinic, while the upper floor is my private space. So the clinic environment is very relaxed, confidential and safe, without disturbances or interruptions from any surrounding offices, receptions, other therapists or clients.

Coming from Sweden originally (half a lifetime ago), I am obviously fluent in Swedish as well as in English.
