My name is Max Olsson and I work as a clinical psychologist. I work at my private clinic at Järntorget in central Göteborg as well as through secure video link. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important thing in psychotherapy. It creates the conditions for a freer way of being. Meeting a psychologist can mean many different things, depending on your situation and your needs. Through exploration in a safe, trusting and professional relationship, it is possible to discover new parts of ourselves. Getting clarity in our situation can reduce the suffering and increase the quality of life.
The sense of meaning and context is central to how we as humans experience life. Gaining an increased capacity to experience and distinguish between feelings, desires and inner states is an invaluable skill that facilitates virtually all aspects of life. Healthy relationships and a realistic and reliable self-image enable completely different ways to face difficulties.
Man expresses his essence through art, philosophy, play and literature. By using these fields, I believe that it is possible to get closer to human existence. In my mind, this addition to regular scientific psychology makes the work more empirical, not less. By looking inwards and expanding self-insight, we get more freedom to choose our direction and to live in a way we enjoy. With me, there is no ambition to make you "normal" or "like everyone else". On the contrary, I think that the unique expression is exactly what makes it possible to encounter the world in a valuable way and to feel alive.
