Here we will uncover what you find challenging as well as what you need further help and create goals and a plan. Sometimes 1-3 consultations with advice, support and guidance are enough, other times you need more time. It depends on the scope and duration of the problem. Topics we usually handle in therapy is the need for change, depression, the long-term effects of a pandemic, stress, exhaustion and burnout, anxiety, conflicts, relational/couple difficulties, stress/strain in the family or at work, crisis, grief, loss, loneliness.
