CHANGE IS POSSIBLE IN THE PRESENT AND FOR THE FUTURE
ARE YOU CONSIDERING THERAPY?
The basic idea behind therapy is that it should remove obstacles, provide insights and offer new perspectives that can empower you to act more freely in your own life. This can be applied, for example, to promote a better sense of wellbeing in relationships, in everyday life and at work. A cornerstone of this therapy is that every person is unique, with unique experiences that have shaped the course of their life
This type of therapy promotes the idea that right here and now in the present, as well as in the future, there are opportunities for change. It also recognises that in our past there are experiences to reflect over, learn from and work on.
People seeking therapy do so for a variety of reasons, including help dealing with relationships, anxiety, depression, loneliness, crises, trauma, stress and sadness. Therapy can be a support and help you work through any issues.
Some people might feel as though they are not living life to the full. Others have had complicated life experiences and might need a safe and neutral place to come to for confidential conversations.

NEW PERSPECTIVES AND DIRECTION
WORKPLACE COACHING
One-to-one calls are available for anyone who needs a fresh perspective and new direction in their professional role or business - whether you are an entrepreneur, business owner, creative professional or hold a managerial position.
All coaching is based on an analysis of your individual needs, goals and your professional role. Sessions are intended to create a place for shared reflection that enable time to think and empower action in the present and the future.
The Psychological Forum offers a more complete view of the links between person-health-productivity for professional people, while exploring life balance and occupational challenges that can often cause short and long-term conflict. Challenges might create focus, creativity and productivity in the short term, but can cause stress and problems that affect problem-solving, wellbeing and productivity in the long term.

Registered Psychologist, PhD
MARIA SANDGREN
Throughout my career I have focused on three key areas of psychology: private practice, research and teaching. Having worked with such different disciplines has given me a broad knowledge base as well as a deeper understanding of people (individuals, groups and our role in society).
I started conducting research at Uppsala University directly after graduation (reg. Psychologist) and immediately opened my own private practice. I later received my PhD in Psychology from Stockholm University.
I initially started working with psychodynamic therapy and have also since then included areas such as emotion, cognition , social psychology and interpersonal relationships in my therapeutic work. I am acutely aware that people are a part of their social environment, which influences many parts of their lives, including relationships, feelings, attitudes and actions.
In recent years I have qualified in affect - focused therapy and practice a softer form of ISTDP (Intensive Short - Term Dynamic Therapy). The advantage of affect - focused therapy is that it recognises emotions and bodily responses in a different way to standard PDT therapy and reinforces processes of change.
