An experienced psychotherapist offering psychotherapy and EFT couples therapy in Copenhagen
I am a certified psychotherapist (M.A.), the highest professional level recognised in both Denmark and England, and I work from my private practice in central Copenhagen as well as online.
For more than twenty years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families across multiple countries and cultural contexts. My work integrates depth-oriented psychotherapy with a calm, grounded Danish presence.
Alongside my clinical practice, I have continued advanced training in couples therapy, supervision, and relational work. I am recently completed Master Class Further Training in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT therapy) for couples.
The importance of supervision
Good therapy begins with good supervision
I regularly meet with experienced senior psychotherapists in Denmark and abroad to reflect on my work, challenge my thinking, and continue developing my skills. This ongoing process supports the quality of my individual, couples, and family therapy, helping me offer thoughtful, ethical, and effective care.
My focus is simple: excellence, integrity, and impact.

What you need to know about my services
What happens during intensive couples therapy sessions?
Each session moves between guided dialogue, reflection, and practical exercises drawn from Emotion-focused couples therapy. You both learn to slow down, hear each other, and express needs clearly.
We stay close to what matters most so trust can rebuild in real time.
By the end, you leave with tools and awareness that strengthen your connection long after the sessions end.
How your intensive program takes shape
Each intensive program is created uniquely for you as a couple. We start by identifying your goals — whether you need crisis repair, emotional reconnection, or deeper understanding.
Some couples work across two consecutive days; others choose several shorter blocks. The pace depends on your needs and how much integration time you prefer between sessions.
You’ll receive guidance between meetings to continue your dialogue at home. Over time, your awareness of each other deepens, and new habits of connection begin to replace old cycles of defence and distance.
What happens during intensive sessions
We meet for extended sessions, often across one or more consecutive days. This format gives enough time to go deep without losing focus.
Together we identify your core issues — disconnection, recurring conflict, loss of intimacy, or betrayal — and trace them back to the emotional signals that drive your reactions.
We practise new ways of speaking and listening that make both of you feel heard. You’ll leave each day knowing what changed, what still needs care, and how to continue at home.
This work can be demanding, but it’s also where couples often rediscover closeness and hope.
Booking and payment for your intensive program
You can book your session online or ask me to call you directly. Acute appointments are often available within a day or two.
You can pay by invoice, bank transfer, card, cash, or MobilePay. All sessions are prepaid. Psychotherapy is exempt from VAT, and prices are shown without VAT on my prices page.
If you cancel more than seven days before a session, there is no fee. Cancellations within seven days or no-shows are charged in full. This applies to both in-person and online sessions.
Voucher or clip cards can be refunded at any time. Any sessions already used are recalculated at the full listed price at the time of return. The remaining unused sessions are then refunded, minus a 20 per cent administration fee. You can always request a call or contact me if you need help arranging anything quickly.
My approach as your couples therapist
Intensive couples therapy is for those who want meaningful change now. I combine structure with depth so you can move beyond repeating arguments into real emotional contact.
My approach draws from Emotion-focused couples therapy, attachment theory, and process-oriented work. We explore the emotional logic beneath conflict — how each of you protects yourselves when you feel unseen or unsafe.
Having sat with hundreds of couples over two decades, I know that when partners risk honesty, something new can begin. I help you create that moment of truth and guide you through it safely.
The work is focused, experiential, and designed to create lasting repair.

Areas I work with in intensive couples therapy Copenhagen
Intensive couples therapy allows partners to work deeply and continuously over consecutive days. This format is for couples who need focused help with emotional distance, conflict, or loss of trust.

Emotional and communication themes
- Arguments that repeat without resolution
- Emotional distance or defensive silence
- Difficulty expressing feelings without blame
- Loss of empathy or compassion in daily life
- Misunderstandings that escalate quickly

Trust and attachment themes

- Rebuilding emotional safety after hurt
- Recognising protective patterns that block vulnerability
- Creating a steady foundation for openness and repair
Intimacy and connection themes
- Rediscovering closeness and emotional warmth

- Building moments of affection and appreciation
Growth and renewal themes

In intensive couples therapy, you rediscover your capacity to connect, listen, and repair together. The process creates new trust and deeper communication — a foundation for lasting change.
The anatomy of an intensive couples process
Some relationships need more than an hour a week. When patterns repeat or distance feels too deep, intensive couples therapy gives time and focus to rebuild trust and connection.
When communication stops
You may talk for hours yet feel unheard. Together we find the moments where understanding breaks and learn how to reach each other again.
When trust cracks
Betrayal, neglect, or years of quiet withdrawal can erode safety. We slow down, speak honestly, and begin rebuilding the ground beneath you.
When emotions dominate
Strong feelings often hide unmet needs. I help you listen beneath anger and fear until empathy re-emerges.

How Intensive couples therapy supports you in crisis
Below, I describe how I offer intensive couples therapy in Copenhagen at Møntergade. My aim is to give you clarity about the work, so you feel settled, informed, and supported before taking the next step.
A focused setting for change and renewal
In intensive work, there is time to breathe, talk, and feel without rushing. I hold the structure so you can concentrate on what matters most — honesty, care, and renewed intimacy.
My approach as a couples therapist
Intensive couples therapy offers a focused and structured setting where both of you can reconnect and heal faster. In longer sessions we have the space to de-escalate, reflect, and rebuild trust.
My work draws on emotion-focused methods and more than two decades of experience with couples in crisis. I hold both of you safely so that honesty can replace defence and awareness can replace blame.
My role as your therapist
I remain balanced, curious, and direct. My reflections guide you back toward empathy and responsibility.

Common crises I help couples with from Møntergade
In intensive couples therapy, I meet partners who want real change — not small improvements, but deep repair.
When conflict becomes constant
- Arguments repeat without resolution
- One partner withdraws, the other pursues
- Every attempt to talk ends in blame or silence
- You feel stuck between anger and despair
In intensive sessions, we stay with the pattern long enough to reach what lies beneath it.
When trust is broken
- Secrets, betrayal, or emotional withdrawal have damaged closeness
- Forgiveness feels impossible
- Fear or shame block new intimacy
Therapy provides a safe structure to face truth together and begin rebuilding safety.
When distance feels unbearable
- You live like roommates instead of lovers
- Emotional and physical connection feel lost
- You want to stay together but don’t know how
Through focused days of work, we help you remember what it means to be a team again.
When exhaustion takes over
- Repeated fights leave you numb
- You avoid difficult topics to keep the peace
- Hope fades even while love remains
Intensive work allows the time and containment needed for real reset and renewal.
In intensive couples therapy, I help you stabilise communication, understand deeper needs, and rebuild emotional intimacy that lasts beyond the crisis.

Thoughts about Intensive couples therapy
In moments of acute relationship strain, it helps to pause and understand what kind of support is actually needed. Here I explain how I approach intensive couples therapy, why meeting alone can be stabilising, and how clarity and containment come before change. The aim is to restore orientation so your next steps are taken with steadiness rather than urgency.
When your relationship needs concentrated help now
There are moments when weekly therapy is not enough. The conflict repeats. Trust feels fragile. Communication is strained. You may feel distant from each other or stuck in a pattern that neither of you knows how to change. You may be recovering from a shock, a betrayal, a long standing disconnection, or a period where you both grew apart.
You may feel that things cannot continue as they are. You need focused support that moves you forward fast.
Intensive couples therapy gives you several hours of concentrated work, often across one or two days, so you can get clarity, calm, and direction without waiting week after week. You step out of the crisis cycle and into a space where repair becomes possible again.
How intensives help you find clarity and connection again
Intensive therapy gives you the space and time to go deep without pressure. You both arrive, settle, and begin the work with full focus. You do not rush through your feelings. You do not push your pain aside. You do not leave mid process only to pick it up a week later.
Together we work on:
Slowing the emotional pace
You learn how to talk without reacting from fear or defence.
Understanding the cycle that traps you
You see how each of you reacts and how the pattern repeats.
Rebuilding emotional safety
You learn how to stay present even when the conversation becomes vulnerable.
Repairing trust and communication
You practise conversations that bring understanding rather than conflict.
Strengthening connection
You rediscover the parts of the relationship that still hold life and warmth.
Intensives give you time to breathe, reflect, and reconnect without interruption.
What intensives help you repair
You learn how to repair the parts of the relationship that have been injured or ignored.
Emotional connection
You learn how to stay present with each other without fear.
Communication
You speak calmly and clearly, even when the topic is difficult.
Trust
You learn how to rebuild trust through small, consistent steps.
Boundaries
You set boundaries that protect the relationship rather than divide it.
Old wounds
You learn how past experiences influence your reactions today.
This process brings strength, clarity, and connection back into the relationship.
Why couples choose intensive therapy
Couples come for intensives when they want depth, speed, and stability. You may choose this format because:
- The conflict escalates too fast at home
- You feel stuck and cannot break the cycle alone
- You want a structured way to repair trust
- You are recovering from a shock or betrayal
- You want to reconnect after drifting apart
- You feel urgency and do not want to wait weeks
- One or both partners need a more focused approach
In an intensive, you get uninterrupted time to work through what matters most. You leave with clarity, understanding, and a plan you can rely on.
What a typical intensive session looks like
Intensives usually take place over one or two consecutive days. This creates a powerful and steady momentum.
Day one
We explore the problem clearly. You learn how the conflict repeats. We slow everything down so you can listen and speak without fear. You begin to understand each other’s needs, emotions, and internal triggers.
Day two
We deepen the work. You learn how to reconnect safely. You practise new forms of communication. You repair emotional ruptures and build a plan for stabilising the relationship at home.
Every intensive is tailored to your needs and your emotional capacity.
How your attachment patterns shape your conflicts
Attachment patterns become highly visible under stress. Intensives give you the time to understand how these patterns move between you.
When anxiety pulls one partner closer
One of you may pursue closeness fast when you feel hurt or scared.
When avoidance pushes the other partner away
The other may withdraw because the emotional load feels overwhelming.
When mixed signals create confusion
You may both want closeness but fear the vulnerability it requires.
When secure bonds feel shaken
Even strong relationships can lose balance during conflict.
Understanding these attachment patterns gives you compassion for each other and a clear way forward.
What you can change together in an intensive
You can change:
- How you speak
- How you listen
- How you regulate emotions
- How you respond to conflict
- How you repair after arguments
- How you create connection
- How you show care
These changes create stability and hope.
Here, therapy creates a structured space for truth, repair, and new patterns of respect and leadership at home. In intensive psychotherapy, each of these themes becomes an opening into deeper self-mastery.
The goal is not to diagnose or soften you. It is to help you meet yourself completely — and lead from a place of inner clarity that no success or failure can shake.

Get in touch
Intensive couples therapy
In moments of acute relationship strain, progress does not come from trying harder or pushing your partner to change. It comes from understanding your own emotional patterns, limits, and points of influence within the relationship. When you act with greater steadiness and clarity, the dynamic between you often begins to shift in meaningful ways.
What cannot change in a single intensive
Some things need time:
- Old wounds
- Long held resentment
- Trauma
- Attachment insecurity
- Deep patterns that formed years ago
An intensive gives you a strong start. It creates momentum. It gives you clarity. But deeper transformation continues in the days and weeks that follow.
How intensive therapy guides your long term path
What is alive and worth nurturing
You learn what still works between you.
What needs boundaries
You see what drains the connection or creates confusion.
What your next days should look like
You leave the intensive with a simple, clear plan that protects the work you have done.
What your first intensive session gives you
A clear understanding of the relationship cycle
You see why the conflict repeats.
Emotional grounding
You feel calmer and more centred.
Communication tools that work immediately
A plan for the next days
You leave with structure, clarity, and direction.
When progress becomes visible
You will begin to notice:
- Calmer conversations
- Fewer misunderstandings
- Less defensive reactions
- More openness
- Softer tone
- New understanding
- Moments of genuine connection
These are signs that the work is taking root.
My approach to intensive couples therapy
I guide you with calm structure and respect for your emotional limits. I help you slow the pace, understand each other’s world, and rebuild safety. You get direct guidance, practical tools, and a deep sense of support throughout the entire intensive.
My goal is to help you shift the relationship from tension to connection.

When you need practical clarity in Intensive couples therapy
When your relationship is under acute strain, uncertainty around practical details can add unnecessary pressure. This section explains how booking, payment, cancellation, contact, and confidentiality work, so you know exactly what to expect. My aim is to remove friction and allow you to focus fully on clarity, stabilisation, and meaningful change.
How to book intensive couples therapy in Copenhagen
If your relationship needs focused help now, I can meet you early mornings, evenings, weekends, or online. You can book directly on my website or reach out for a quick reply. Together we bring clarity, connection, and strength back into your relationship.
What happens if you need to cancel a session
Intensive sessions require long time blocks reserved only for you. If you need to reschedule, let me know as soon as possible. Cancellations more than seven days in advance come at no cost. Within seven days or for non-attendance, the full fee applies because the reserved hours cannot be reassigned. Voucher sessions can be recalculated or refunded with a small administrative fee.
Contact between sessions
Between intensive sessions, couples often need short grounding moments. You can send me a brief WhatsApp message for reassurance or clarity while you move through the emotional work. These check-ins help you stay stable during the intensive process.
What confidentiality I offer
Your privacy is fully protected under GDPR and all psychotherapy ethics. Nothing you share is ever disclosed to others, including your partner, unless you give explicit consent. Only legal safety limits override confidentiality.
Online sessions
If you prefer to complete part of your intensive online, we can work through Zoom, Google Meet, or WhatsApp video. Online intensives are just as effective because the depth comes from presence, structure, and emotional clarity, not the room itself.
Taking the first step toward calm
If your relationship is under pressure, beginning an intensive now can help you reset quickly. You can book a session or a free call so we can create a focused plan for rebuilding connection and stability.
My approach and values
My mission
My mission is to help individuals, couples and families rediscover connection, communicate with understanding, and build a stronger, more loving relationship that can thrive through any challenge.
My vision
My vision is to create a world where every person in my therapy room feels supported, connected, and empowered to grow, and to step one step closer to your Self.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can we book an intensive couples therapy start date?
You can usually begin within a few days. I keep time available for couples who want to work deeply and without long gaps between sessions. The intensive format gives you continuity so we can move through core patterns with clarity and steady emotional momentum.
What happens in the first intensive session?
Your first session establishes the emotional foundation for the whole process. We explore what brought you here, how your bond has been strained and what each of you needs to feel safe enough to go deeper. You leave with a shared understanding of the work ahead and the stability to begin it.
Do you offer a free thirty minute call before we commit?
Yes. The call gives you space to understand the process, ask practical questions and sense whether the intensive structure feels right. Couples often feel more grounded after hearing how the work unfolds and what kind of emotional support I offer along the way.
Do you offer any discounts or voucher cards?
Yes. After your first paid session you receive a ten percent voucher which you can use during the intensive program. Many couples appreciate this when they are investing in deeper work that requires more time and energy in a short period.
Do you offer online intensive sessions if we cannot attend in person?
Yes. Online intensive work is possible and can be just as effective. Some couples prefer it for comfort, privacy or travel reasons. We create the same focused rhythm so you gain the depth, continuity and clarity that the intensive structure is designed to provide.
Are sessions confidential with both of us present?
Yes. Everything shared stays in the room. You need a safe place to speak about fear, hurt, longing and hope. Confidentiality allows both partners to open up, explore difficult emotions and build trust without worrying about judgement or exposure.
How does intensive therapy differ from weekly couples therapy?
Intensives move faster because there is no gap between sessions. You stay close to the emotional process, which makes it easier to shift patterns, repair old wounds and build new ways of connecting. Many couples find intensives help them break through issues that felt stuck for years.
Can we book evenings or weekends?
Yes. Many couples choose intensives specifically because they need flexibility around work, children or travel. I offer extended hours so we can create an uninterrupted process that fits your life and supports emotional continuity throughout the work.
Can we speak with you in English if we are an international couple?
Yes. I work with many international couples who want therapy in clear, simple English. I help you slow the emotional pace, understand cultural differences and build a shared language for your inner worlds. Many couples find this grounding and reassuring.
What if one of us feels nervous or ashamed to go so deep?
This is normal. Going deep can feel scary, especially if past conflict has left you exposed or defensive. We go slowly and safely. My role is to help each of you feel steady enough to open up without becoming overwhelmed. Depth happens when safety grows, not through pressure.

More frequently asked questions
What if we have tried couples therapy before and it did not help?
Many couples come after difficult experiences elsewhere. Often the pace was too slow or the core emotional pattern was not understood. Intensive work lets us stay with the pattern long enough for real change to begin. For many couples this finally feels like movement.
Can intensives help if we are dealing with betrayal or broken trust?
Yes. Trust injuries need time, pace and emotional clarity. The intensive format allows us to work through hurt, fear and repair without losing momentum between sessions. You gain a clearer sense of what happened and what each of you needs for the relationship to heal.
Can intensives help if communication always escalates or breaks down?
Yes. When communication collapses quickly, the longer sessions help you understand the triggers, slow your reactions and build new habits together. You learn how to respond instead of reacting, which helps both partners feel safer and more connected.
Can we do an intensive even if we have been distant for a long time?
Yes. Distance often grows when couples do not have enough time or emotional space to reconnect. Intensives give you a focused environment to rediscover each other’s inner worlds and begin building a new foundation of closeness and trust.
What if one of us is not sure we want to continue the relationship?
This is a common reason couples choose intensives. The process helps you understand what is real, what is fear and what is longing. You gain clarity about your bond, your needs and your direction. Many couples leave with a decision rooted in emotional truth rather than confusion.
Can we book more than one intensive cycle?
Yes. Some couples complete one round and choose another once they have processed the first layer of work. Intensives can be spaced out or continued back to back depending on what your relationship needs and how much emotional capacity you have at the time.
How will we know if the intensive process is working?
You will feel more clarity, more safety and more emotional contact. Communication becomes steadier, conflict softens and you understand each other’s reactions with more compassion. Progress often shows up as less fear and more willingness to reach toward each other.
Can we include work on intimacy during the intensive?
Yes. Intimacy often reflects deeper emotional patterns. We explore how to create safety, vulnerability and connection. You learn how to approach physical closeness in ways that feel grounded and respectful of each person’s emotional pace and nervous system.
How do we know if we should choose intensive couples therapy instead of weekly sessions?
You might choose intensives when you feel stuck, disconnected or unable to make progress with weekly work. Intensives give you continuity and depth that weekly sessions cannot. You know it is right when you want focused support and feel ready for deeper emotional exploration.
How do we know when it is time to end therapy?
You know it is time to end when you feel more connected, able to navigate conflict without losing each other and confident in your emotional tools. You leave when you feel steady enough to continue building your relationship without regular support. Ending is a sign of strength, not avoidance.
