Question 1

What does the first session look like?

Accepted Answer

The first session is a space to get to know each other, explore what brings you to therapy, and see if we’re a good fit.

There’s no pressure to go into deep emotional work right away, nor to share more than you’re comfortable with - this is your space, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

The first session is a gentle starting point. 
It’s a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a safe, supportive space where you can explore whatever feels most important to you.

We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, any goals or hopes you may have, and I’ll ask a few questions to better understand your background and needs.

You’re welcome to ask questions too. Whether it’s about how I work, how sessions unfold, or anything else on your mind, I want you to feel informed and at ease.

The first session is just the beginning, and from there, we’ll shape the work together.

Question 2

What if I’ve never been to therapy before?

Accepted Answer

You’re absolutely welcome. 
No previous experience is needed.

I’ll guide you through the process and answer any questions you might have.

Question 3

Do you work with expats and international clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes – in fact, many of my clients are expats or bicultural individuals navigating life abroad.
I offer culturally sensitive therapy in English.

For more information, see Why I Work With Expats.

Question 4

Do you offer online sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer online therapy for individuals and couples.

Before your appointment, please make sure you’re in a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable and won’t be disturbed.

Sessions are held via a secure, easy-to-use video platform. You’ll receive a secure link ahead of time to access your online session.

And if it suits you better, you’re always welcome to combine online and in-person sessions.

For more information, see Online Therapy.

Question 5

Online vs. In-Person Sessions

Accepted Answer

Both online and in-person therapy offer meaningful, effective support—it’s really about what feels best and most accessible for you.

In-person sessions provide a dedicated space outside of your daily environment, which some people find grounding and helpful for creating emotional distance and focus. 
For others, simply being in the same physical space can foster connection and a sense of safety.

Online sessions offer flexibility and convenience, especially if you’re navigating a busy schedule, living farther away, or feel more at ease in your own home. Many clients appreciate the comfort and accessibility of connecting from a familiar space.

Some people choose to stick with one format, while others prefer to blend both, depending on their needs and the week ahead.

If you're unsure which option is right for you, I’m happy to explore it with you—together, we’ll find a rhythm that supports your process.

Question 6

Are sessions covered by insurance?

Accepted Answer

Insurance coverage can vary depending on your provider and specific plan, so it’s best to check directly with them about what they offer.

If it’s helpful, I’m happy to provide documentation to support your reimbursement process.

At this time, I don’t work with public insurance or referrals (“henvisning”), and sessions are paid privately.

I’m happy to discuss flexible pricing in certain situations.

For more information, see Pricing & Process.

Question 7

How long does therapy take?

Accepted Answer

This depends on your goals and needs.

Some clients come for short-term support, while others prefer longer-term work.

We’ll discuss what makes sense for you and check-in regularly.

Question 8

What if I need to cancel my appointment?

Accepted Answer

I know that life doesn’t always go as planned, and sometimes things come up unexpectedly. If you need to cancel due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, I completely understand—just let me know as soon as you're able.

For cancellations made less than 24 hours before your appointment, the full session fee applies. 
If you cancel between 24 and 48 hours in advance, 50% of the fee will be charged.

This policy helps me hold space fairly for all clients and is based on guidelines from professional registration bodies.

Thank you for your understanding.
