Nervous-system-informed counselling for anxiety, stress, burnout & beyond
People come to counselling for many reasons: sometimes a clear struggle, sometimes a quieter sense that something isn't working the way it should be or the way it used to work before. You may notice that your system is constantly on high alert, restless, anxious, tense, unable to switch off, or that you've gone in the opposite direction, feeling flat, disconnected or shut down. You may find that the things that once brought you pleasure no longer move you, that you feel overwhelmed in moments you'd expect to feel capable, or that your body runs on autopilot, still holding it all together, but increasingly numb to the very life it's protecting. You may find yourself functioning, but no longer feeling fully present in your own life.
My approach is trauma-informed, so everything is paced to what your nervous system can handle. The work stays gentle and safe even when we are working with the most tender issues. Sessions are online and in person in Stockholm, one-to-one and in small groups, held in English, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian or Montenegrin and grounded in how the nervous system actually responds to stress.
What I work with
These themes overlap more often than not. You don't need a diagnosis or the right words to begin, only a sense that something needs attention.
Anxiety
Racing thoughts, a body braced for danger, difficulty settling or switching off. We work with the physiology underneath the worry, not only its content.
Read more →Stress, overwhelm & burnout
From chronic stress and overwhelm through to burnout and emotional exhaustion, when rest no longer restores you. We rebuild capacity from the nervous system up, not through willpower.
Read more →Trauma & difficult life experiences
Somatic Experiencing® for overwhelming past experiences, at a pace your system can actually digest.
Read more →Depression & low mood
Feeling heavy or flat, losing interest in things you used to enjoy and finding it hard to get yourself moving. We work with the physiology of collapse, gently, alongside medical care where that's needed.
Read more →Numbness, emptiness & reconnecting with joy
When life is working on paper but you can't feel it. You may be functioning and doing what needs to be done, while feeling numb or disconnected from yourself. We move slowly back toward sensation and emotions and let pleasure and a sense of what feels meaningful return at their own pace.
Read more →Life transitions & personal growth
Moving country, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, changing career, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply.
Read more →Relationships & boundaries
Repeating dynamics, difficulty saying no and the patterns that show up with partners, family, friends and at work.
Read more →Parenting & parental burnout
Exhaustion that goes beyond a lack of sleep, a shorter fuse than you'd like and guilt constantly simmering in the background. Lack of love is not the issue, it is a nervous system that's running low on capacity.
Read more →Self-esteem, confidence & self-worth
Insecurity, harsh self-criticism and the sense of not being enough regardless of what you achieve.
Read more →Perfectionism & people-pleasing
Saying yes before you've noticed you don't want to, over-preparing, never quite resting. You may be tired of always trying to get it right, keep everyone happy and hold everything together.

How the work is structured
We always begin with a free 15-minute introductory call with no obligation to continue. From there, most people meet weekly or biweekly, for a defined piece of work or for longer. We decide that together and revisit it as things change.
I don't work from a single model. My training is grounded in psychology, body psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing®. Alongside this, I continue to explore approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Inner Relationship Focusing and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, bringing in what genuinely serves the person in front of me.
