Therapy in English

Psykolog Sandie Johansen ved computeren.

Here you will find the most important information given on my website for those of you that are non-danish speakers. I offer therapy in English, both in my clinic with F2F-treatment as well as online consultations (via video, telephone and in written correspondence).

What happens in the first session?

During our first session, we will focus on what has brought you to therapy and how I can help you. It is important that we in the first session come up with a relevant plan for your treatment with me, so when you leave the session, you will have a clear idea of what we can do to help you and how long you can expect to be in therapy. It is also essential that you get a sense of whether or not you feel comfortable in therapy with me.

What kind of help can I expect?

Treatment in my clinic most often revolves around renewed personal insight and a deeper understanding of the symptoms, you find problematic or inhibiting in your life.

I have experience in treating a wide range of issues:

  • Mental struggles in connection to physical illnesses, such as cancer and diabetes
  • Psychological stress and distress
  • Grief, loss, and crisis
  • Depression
  • Struggles with self-esteem
  • Existential crises
  • Personality disorders
  • Performance in sports
  • Personal growth

My approach to therapy is within the modern psychoanalytic field. This means that we will try to understand underlying patterns of your behavior and increase your sense of freedom in your thoughts, emotions and behavior. It is often quite hard to be in therapy. You will become aware of painful internal states which have been inhibiting you in your life. By choosing to work therapeutically, you will be broadening your understanding of yourself and with that often follows an experience of feeling more alive and free.

Therapy is an intensive collaboration between client and therapist, and trust is key in the therapeutic consultation room. I work with both personal growth issues and with treatment. For some, a few sessions with a narrow focus is the way to go, while others come for sessions over a long period of time. It all depends on the problem at hand and of your motivation for change.

Do I have to be present at a clinic?

If you are located far away from my clinic or perhaps even abroad, both therapy and supervision is possible through video consultations. I also do video consultations for people that live close by, but find online therapy more comfortable than visiting my clinic. If you are unsure what might suit you best, you are welcome to contact me.

Supervision and teaching

Besides therapy, I also do supervision with psychologists and other professionals within the helping profession.

I offer teaching in various psychological topics. I have taught psychology at University College Lillebælt, Steno Diabetes Center Zealand and the Danish Diabetes Association.
