When someone you love has died, the world can suddenly feel unrecognisable. Grief counselling is a calm place to carry what is hard to carry alone — in central Copenhagen or online, in English or Danish.
What grief therapy can help with
- Carrying the weight of loss — sudden bereavement or after long illness
- Finding a way to live on while still loving the person who has died
- Making room for anger, guilt, relief and the feelings others don't always understand
- The particular loneliness that grief so often brings
- Speaking about what feels impossible to say to family and friends
- Noticing what you yourself need — even while trying to hold others up
Typical concerns
- Loss of a parent, partner, child, sibling, friend or colleague
- Bereavement by suicide
- Sudden or traumatic deaths
- Grief after long illness, palliative care or dementia
- Delayed grief that surfaces months or years later
- Complicated grief, where life feels unable to settle again
- Miscarriage, stillbirth and pregnancy loss
- Losses that are hard to name — friendships, dreams, the life that never was
How I work with grief
In grief counselling we never move faster than you can go. We make room for what is here — the longing, the love, the anger, the guilt, the relief — often all at once. My approach is existential and quietly present. I have worked with grieving people for more than fifteen years, including at Herlev Hospital and the Danish Cancer Society. Lecturer in Social Work at University College Absalon, Roskilde Campus, teaching within the field of psychology.
Who this is for
Grief therapy is for anyone who has lost someone — whether the loss is recent or from many years ago. You are welcome alone, as a couple or as a family. Some people come in the first weeks after a death, others only years later, when grief begins to take up new space. There is no right moment.
What you can expect
- A free 15-minute intro call so we can sense whether we're a good fit
- A calm 60-minute conversation about your loss — in central Copenhagen or online
- No agenda beyond yours. We move at the pace that feels right for you
- Full confidentiality — nothing you share leaves the room
- A flexible course of therapy — a few sessions or ongoing support
Frequently asked questions
When is the right time to start grief therapy?
There is no single right moment. Some people need a place to go within days of a bereavement; others come only when everyday life refuses to settle, or when grief resurfaces years later in new ways. You are welcome whenever it becomes too much to carry alone — you don't need to arrive with a particular question.
How long does a course of grief therapy usually last?
It varies a great deal. Some people find three to five conversations are enough; others come over a longer period. We talk openly about what feels useful, and you are never tied to a commitment.
Can you help if my grief only surfaced years after the loss?
Yes. Grief rarely follows a timeline. It often deepens once life has quietened down, or when a new event brushes against an old wound. That is very common, and there is real space for it in grief therapy.
How is grief therapy different from ordinary talking therapy?
Grief therapy takes as its starting point that grief is not an illness to be cured — it is love, continuing. We don't work to make the grief disappear; we work to find a way to live with it, and to keep a living bond with the person you have lost.
Can I come if the person I lost died by suicide?
Yes. Grief after suicide often carries its own layers — shock, incomprehensibility, guilt, questions that will never be answered. There is room for all of it, without judgement.
Do you offer grief counselling online?
Yes. We can meet in person in central Copenhagen or online, whichever fits your life and situation. Many people find online sessions surprisingly close and present, once we have set the frame together.
Can I come with my family?
Yes. Some people come alone, others as a couple or with a family member. We find the format that fits what you are facing.
How much does a session cost?
See the Fees page for current prices. The first 15-minute intro call is always free — a chance to sense whether we're a good fit.
