Hi,
I'm Malin, a registered psychotherapist from Sweden providing counselling in Denmark. Having lived in England, Hong Kong and Norway over the past 20+ years I understand the challenges and opportunities that come with an international life.
I have clinical experience from working with a large number of expat clients, professionals, leaders and women in midlife in private practice for over eight years.
Before that I worked in HR with international companies. These experiences showed me how common hidden struggles really are. I've noticed the high standards people set themselves, both at and outside work, and the feelings of otherness, loneliness and not good enough.
Having experienced chronic stress and nearing burnout myself, I understand how easy it is to put your own needs last. This inspired me to support others feeling emotionally and physically exhausted with calm, clarity and small strategic steps forward.
I also have specialist training in menopause-informed mental health, helping clients navigate midlife changes with compassion, practical tools and renewed confidence.
My Approach
I use evidence-based approaches Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide our work together and take your whole life — body, mind, experience, relationships, and cultural background into view.
Hormonal shifts during midlife can affect mood, energy, brain function, body, identity and at times lead to stress, confusion or self-doubt.
Together, we’ll explore what’s impacting you and introduce useful tools to ease anxiety, low mood and focus on what truly matters to you.
I draw on CBT and ACT modalities, practical ways to support change in the present, while gently learning from the past. Check if my approach is the right fit for you.
