Lisa Malmheden

If you're here, chances are you're carrying something heavy and you're looking for a space where you can finally set it down.

I work from a psychodynamic perspective, which means we'll explore the patterns, relationships, and emotions that shape your life. I don't believe in giving you answers or quick fixes. Real change happens when insights come from within you, not from me telling you what to think or do. My role is to listen deeply, notice what might be beneath the surface, and help you make sense of your own story.

I bring gentleness and care to this work. I'm attuned to what's unspoken, and I'll help you explore the connections between your past and present in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming. Having built my life across cultures, I also bring sensitivity to the complexities of living between worlds – whether that's navigating different cultural expectations, questions of identity and belonging, or simply feeling caught between home and somewhere new.

With a Master's in Clinical Psychology and over 1,000 hours of clinical experience, I've worked with people navigating anxiety, depressive states, relationship struggles, eating concerns, high sensitivity, maladaptive daydreaming, life transitions, and the bigger existential questions that come with being human. I bring a deep understanding of how challenging these struggles can be, and profound respect for the courage it takes to seek support.

This work is best suited for people who want depth, who are willing to look inward, and who need a counsellor who won't rush them through their process. If this resonates with you, reach out – I'd be glad to set up a free 20-minute discovery call!
