– Inviting the more than human world into your growth processes
As a psychotherapist, mindfulness instructor and growth/learning facilitator within the ecological tradition (ecopsychology, ecotherapy, nature assisted/based interventions, wild/wilderness intervention, green care etc.) – I invite the more than human world to be part of the growth and therapeutic processes taking place in sessions, workshops, and retreats, that I facilitate.
Read more in this section about the different services I offer in Live the Change – related to psychotherapy and ecotherapy. Read more about offers of ECO-Mindfulness and Learning in this section.
I work integratively, in more than one way. I work with nature and animal assisted interventions (mostly equine assisted interventions), I work with expressive arts, movement-based interventions, mindfulness, and I use my own experiences and philosophy. In psychotherapy, my own training and coming licensure is in Transactional Analysis (TA), but I also have a yearlong training in person-centered psychotherapy, and a shorter training in gestalt psychotherapy. Together with my own long psychotherapy (which was psychodynamic/psychoanalytical based) and my added trainings in trauma sensitive mindfulness, expressive arts, other mindfulness, expressive and learning based courses + my academic training in cognitive science, psychology, philosophy, history of ideas and science, literature and language, agricultural science, and my own art training – I am truly multimodal in all that I do (for my full background, check my CV out).
I would, despite these diverse trainings and educations, argue that my own experiences from my own growth journey is my most important “training”.

ECO-THERAPY – WILD THERAPY – REWILDING THERAPY
As a psychotherapist I use an ecological approach. I use my experience and knowledge of working experientially, outdoors and with "the more than human" beings, often being part of the process. I also use my knowledge as a student of cognitive science and pychology (and my knowledge and experience from my other studies, of course). I also use my own lived experience and the learning and experience I have gained, having worked through some pretty severe childhood traumas and ensuing dissociation and being neurodivergent in different ways.
I am of course under supervision, and I continue my own personal therapy, as both are a requirement from my training provider but is also in total alignment with how I see my own responsibility as a psychotherapist, even a growth facilitator and a trauma sensitive mindfulness instructor, to continue to tend to myself and my own learning and growth journey.
Other things that I use as a psychotherapist is the knowledge and experience, I have gained through my own ways of learning about myself from expressing myself through visual art and writing, as well as my studies on expressive arts and my formal education in literature and language. I of course also use all my experience and formal trainings in mindfulness and especially in trauma sensitive mindfulness.
Sessions can be given both in English and in Swedish. I am a member of UKATA, UKCP, ESTD and MiMer Centre (Equine Assisted Education and Research Centre that I chair and lead) is a member of HETI.
Background
I have often been told I should become a psychotherapist... But I have always hesitated. Me? Am I not too crazy? Too wild? Too different?
Then I started to share more about my own growth journey, and I found people were really interested and wanted more of what I shared. So. Here I am, in psychotherapy training. It took me some years to find the right one. You can see in my CV that I have taken some shorter and longer trainings. Maybe they were a preparation? Taking these trainings mean I can move from sharing what helped for me - to supporting you on your own journey.
In 2022-2023 I did a year at Metanoia Psychotherapy and Research Institute in London, studying at the program for an MSc in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy and Applications. Now I am with The Red Kite in Liverpool, doing a post graduate training in Ecological Psychotherapy and Counselling (TA approach).
Together with m 12 years of experience as a growth facilitator, working with equine assisted, animal assisted, nature assisted, rewilding interventions (using trauma sensitive mindfulness, learning and as an equine professional supporting psychotherapy), and my 5 years of experience in educating about it, as well as being part of smaller research projects and collaborative EU projects, I find myself having loads of both formal training and experience within my particular field of work.
If you are interested in trying me out as a psychotherapist, I give sessions at a reduced price (I use a sliding scale), as I am a psychotherapist trainee (see my fees here).

About my Price Philosophy
I have considered if I have expenses (e.g. travels to make), if I am having another person on the team, or a horse e.g., I have also considered you, and your ability to pay. You can always approach me to discuss the price. We can negotiate them, every person has a particular situation, and therefore I think flexibility is needed. I do, however, think everyone needs to pay something. What is given away for free, or to a too low cost, will not be valued, and it is not supporting engagement, for anyone. involved.
All work as an educator and trainer in equine assisted interventions I do via MiMer Centre: www.mimercentre.org, MiMer School.
Mindfulness - "Wild-at-Heart-ness"
- Hits: 5127 5127
Are you looking for ways of how to be more in synchrony, at ease, in peace – with yourself? More grounded in your choices? Wanting to move forward towards doing and embracing the things that are important to you in life?
Finding our own ways, our own joy and peace is not always easy. We often carry a heavy load of expectations on how to fit in, do what others think would be good for us, follow more traditional and straight ways to a more traditional life. Many of us learn early in life to listen more to others than to ourselves.
If you feel a bit wilder in your heart, want to live “your one wild and precious life”* in your own ways. If you do not want to limit yourself because of your fears, but still feel you have a lot of questions, hesitations, even perhaps deep fears, I offer you sessions where we together can explore both your map, your compass and possible roads ahead. Where we can look at unexplored areas, as well as what might hold you back. Where you can figure out and practice how you can practice hearing and trusting yourself better. And perhaps live a little bolder? Or feeling more grounded in your choices.
So, what is this? That I am offering?
I always operate in intersections. What I offer is based on experiential learning, often on animal (equine) and/or nature assisted work. On mindfulness – but also what I call heartfulness, as well as expressive arts, and movement modalities.
I am a psychotherapy trainee (see my CV here), and I also offer psychotherapy and ecotherapy (I am under supervision). But the above sessions I don’t call psychotherapy, but Mindfulness - practicing your wild-at-heartness.
I have over 11 years of experience facilitating mindfulness and growth for people. I offer sessions in-person, in a couple of places, since I am quite wild at heart myself, an adventurer and somewhat of a nomad, these sessions cannot be had once a week, but more intensively and as boosts to other growth and awareness work you do (inside or outside of therapy). Get in touch with me to know where I am if you want to book in-person sessions. I also offer sessions online. Where you will get homework to do outdoors, in nature and/or together with animals you have around you/can meet and prompts for indoor work.
If you are a nature assisted practitioner or work animal assisted yourself, I also offer supervision or mentoring.
I have extensive training in trauma and dissociation, and together with that I also consult using my own lived experience on early childhood trauma, dissociation, and Neurodivergence/neurodiversity.
In my offers to you, I use all my skills, practice, knowledge, and experience.
I am happy to do both individual and group work.
