Peer Psychotherapy
- Hits: 248 248
This is my own model of psychotherapy. It is a mix between psychotherapy and peer support. Where I use both my knowledge and experience from psychotherapy and my knowledge and experience from peer support. The red thread is that I use my lived experience expertise as a valuable source of knowledge and understanding. An expertise I have reflected on a lot. But I salso use all my knowledge and skills around facilitating growth and addressing stress and trauma in your life, alongside your views on yourself and the world.
I have been “out and about” my lived experience for ever. The more of it I have addressed, the more of it I have shared. I can’t tell you enough about the value of living openly as myself and owning my story has had on me, especially on shame and self-blame. I understand it is not everyone’s wish to be open about your story. And you do not have to be that, of course, as long as you are open with yourself about it.
Apart from the above, I also use my long experience with working with experiential learning, with animal and nature assisted therapy, learning and mindfulness, together with expressive arts. All trauma informed of course.
Peer psychotherapy means we meet as equals – but it is still you who are in the center of the sessions and it is still your psychotherapy. But you will notice you are more in charge in it than you would be in a traditional psychotherapy.
I offer Peer psychotherapy on site and online.
Contact me if you want to try Peer Psychotherapy out, or if you just want to know more about it for the moment.

– Inviting the more than human world into your growth processes
As an ecotherapist, psychotherapist (in training), 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.
I work integratively, in more than one way. I work with nature and animal assisted interventions, I work with expressive arts, movement-based interventions, mindfulness, and I use my own lived experience expertise and concpets and programs I have developed. 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 shorter trainings in other modalities. Together with my own long psychotherapy (which was psychodynamic/psychoanalytical), as well as other shorter therapies and my added trainings in trauma sensitive mindfulness, expressive arts, other mindfulness, expressive and learning based courses, peer support trainings + 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
In my offer to and in our final agreement with you I will have considered if I have expenses (e.g. travels to make), if I have another person on the team, or horses e.g., I will also have considered you, and your ability to pay. You can always approach me to discuss the price. We can negotiate it, 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 at too low cost, will not be valued, and it is not supporting engagement, for anyone. Involved. At least not in this capitalistic system that we all live in. And well, I need to pay my bills, and I don't have time to redo the whole economic system, the one we both live in ;-) - so there will be some sort of payment involved. Mutually agreed upon. And when we have agreed, we make a contract, that works for both of us (or all of us).
Are you looking for another way to do psychotherapy than to sit slightly opposite or side-by-side with a therapist, indoors, mostly talking? I offer psychotherapy with an ecological and integrative approach (incorporating other modalities such as mindfulness, expressive arts, movement-based interventions). In person, or online. 
Are you looking for a growth tool that is not psychotherapy, but still can take you deeper within yourself, to listen to and to support yourself. to practice self-awareness, self-compassion, resourcing, and grounding? Then ECO-Mindfulness in some form could be for you.
