Therapy for young adults needs to feel safe, respectful and free of raised eyebrows. Here, there is room to be yourself — even when you're not quite sure who that is yet.
What therapy can help with
- Anxiety, panic and worries that take up too much space
- Stress and performance pressure in studies, work and relationships
- Loneliness — even in a crowd
- Questions of identity, gender, sexuality and belonging
- Self-worth, body image and comparison on social media
- Grief after a loss, break-up or big change
Typical concerns
- Anxiety in young adults — social, performance-based, generalised
- Stress during studies or the move into working life
- Low mood, emptiness and a sense that nothing matters
- Family conflict and emotional distance from parents
- Loneliness and the feeling of not quite belonging
- Self-harm and dark thoughts
- The move between school, gap year, university and work
- Existential questions: who am I, what do I want, what is the point
How I work with young adults
I meet you as an equal — no agenda, no requirement to be a particular way. We work out together what suits you. Some prefer talking, others need pauses, walking sessions, or online meetings. I am a clinical supervisor for Red Barnet Ungdom (Save the Children Youth) and I have many years of experience working with teenagers and young adults.
Who this is for
Therapy for young adults here is aimed at people from around 16 upwards. Some young people get in touch themselves; others come because a parent or friend suggested it. Both are fine. If you are the parent of a young person who is struggling, you are also welcome to reach out — see also the page on support for family members.
What you can expect
- A free 15-minute intro call — over the phone or by video
- Sessions in central Copenhagen or online
- Full confidentiality — including from your parents, if you are over 15
- No forms, no diagnoses — just a conversation
- A flexible course of therapy, at your own pace
Frequently asked questions
Is there confidentiality if I'm young?
Yes. Everything you say stays between us. If you are under 15, we agree the frame together with your parents. From 15 upwards, you have full confidentiality.
My parents are pushing me to come — is this still my therapy?
Yes. Your therapy belongs to you. We work out what you actually need, and you decide what we talk about.
I don't know what to say.
That's completely fine. Many young people come with a sense that something is hard, without being able to put words to it. We find the words together, with room for silence and pauses.
Can we meet online?
Yes. Many young adults prefer online, at least to begin with. We find the format that feels best.
Do you have experience with anxiety in young adults?
Yes. Anxiety and stress are among the most common reasons young people seek therapy. We work both with the anxiety itself and with what lies beneath it.
Are you a doctor or psychiatrist?
No. I am an existential psychotherapist with an international master's degree in psychology (MSc Psychology). If you need medical assessment or medication, I am happy to refer you on.
How much does it cost?
There is a reduced rate for young adults — see the Fees page. The intro call is free.
