My name is Tine Christensen. I am an existential psychotherapist with an international master's degree in psychology (MSc Psychology), and I offer therapy in English and Danish from a small practice in central Copenhagen — and online, wherever you are in the world.
A life shaped by movement
I was adopted as a baby, and I have spent long chapters of my life abroad — in the United States and Switzerland — before making Copenhagen my home. That mix of belonging and not-quite-belonging has left its mark on how I listen. I know from the inside what it means to build a life across languages, to hold love for more than one country at a time, and to feel both freed and quietly untethered by it.
Loss has also been part of my own story — the death of parents, of dear friends, including through suicide. I share this not to make anything about me, but because I trust it helps to know that the person sitting opposite you has met the weight of grief in her own life too.
Where I come from professionally
For more than fifteen years I have worked with people facing serious illness, bereavement and existential crisis — in hospital settings (Herlev Hospital), through the Danish Cancer Society (Kræftens Bekæmpelse), and now in my own practice. Lecturer in Social Work at University College Absalon, Roskilde Campus, teaching within the field of psychology. I also serve as a clinical supervisor for Red Barnet Ungdom (Save the Children Youth).
My approach is existential — grounded in the belief that we don't need to be fixed, we need to be met. Alongside my MSc in Psychology I have trained in grief and loss at the University of Oxford, at the American Institute of Health Care Professionals, and at the University of California, Berkeley.

How I want you to feel in the room
Warm. Unhurried. Met. I don't believe grief is something to get over, and I don't believe life always makes sense. But I do believe we can find a way to live with what is — when we are no longer carrying it entirely alone.
