About me
Hi/Hej/您好! I'm Sandra Qian Jernkrok, a licensed clinical psychologist (Legitimerad Psykolog) based in Stockholm. I work in adult psychiatry within the Swedish public healthcare system, and offer private online therapy and executive coaching to clients across global time zones.
I specialise in supporting high-functioning professionals and internationally mobile individuals who appear successful on the outside but are quietly struggling — with anxiety, depression, burnout, emotional exhaustion, complex trauma, or major life transitions. Many of my clients are navigating high-pressure careers, cross-cultural identities, or the hidden emotional cost of living between worlds.
A rare bridge: corporate leadership meets clinical depth. Before training as a psychologist, I spent over a decade in international corporate leadership — at L'Oréal, Ericsson, Tetra Pak and Tobii — managing teams, P&Ls, and cross-border strategy in high-performance environments. This background gives me a deep, first-hand understanding of workplace pressure, performance culture, and the "P&L of the self." I don't just understand clinical symptoms; I understand the professional reality of managing teams and strategy in global blue-chip environments.
With 3,200+ hours of clinical experience in the Swedish psychiatric system, I deliver structured, evidence-based therapy using CBT and DBT, integrating trauma-informed and AEDP approaches where needed. My style is warm, precise, and goal-oriented — combining clinical rigour with genuine empathy to help you gain clarity, build practical skills, and create sustainable change at a pace that respects your readiness.
I work in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Swedish. Whether you are an expat, an international professional, someone with a multicultural background, or simply looking for a therapist who combines strong clinical standards with cultural sensitivity, you are welcome here. You don’t need to explain or translate parts of yourself — I create a space where you can feel truly understood — culturally, professionally, and personally.
My own long-term mindfulness and self-awareness practice informs how I show up in sessions. Rather than “fixing” problems, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your inner resources, and reconnect with your own wisdom, resilience, and sense of agency.
If you're ready to move beyond coping and toward real understanding, authentic and lasting change, I'd be glad to support you.
我是 Sandra Qian Jernkrok（钱晓频），瑞典执照临床心理学家（Legitimerad Psykolog），目前在斯德哥尔摩工作。我在瑞典公立成人精神科体系内执业，并为不同时区的来访者提供线上心理咨询。
我特别擅长陪伴高功能的专业人士和国际流动人士，他们在外表往往看起来成功，却在内心默默承受着焦虑、抑郁、职业倦怠、情绪耗竭、复杂创伤，或重要的人生转折。许多来访者正面临高压职业环境、跨文化适应、身份认同，或生活在不同文化世界之间的挑战。
我在瑞典精神科体系已积累超过 3,200 小时 的临床经验，主要使用认知行为疗法（CBT） 和 辩证行为疗法（DBT） 提供结构化、循证的治疗，同时在需要时整合创伤知情的方法。我的咨询风格温暖、协作且注重实际成果——结合临床专业性与真诚共情，帮助你在尊重自身节奏的前提下获得清晰认知、发展实用技能，并实现有意义的改变。
在成为心理学家之前，我曾在国际企业担任管理职务超过十年（包括欧莱雅、爱立信、利乐包装和Tobii 等公司）。这段经历让我对职场高压、绩效文化、领导力挑战以及成功背后的情感成本有着切身体会。我也拥有丰富的跨文化生活与工作背景，曾在中国、瑞典等多国生活，因此能自然地从多元文化视角理解来访者的处境。
我提供中文（普通话）、英语和瑞典语咨询。无论您是外派人士、国际专业人士、拥有多元文化背景的个体，还是希望找到一位兼具西方临床专业标准与文化敏感性的治疗师，我都非常欢迎您。您不需要费力解释自己文化或身份的部分，我会努力创造一个真正被理解的安全空间。
如果您准备好不再只是应对，而是深入理解并改变那些困扰自己的部分，我很高兴能陪伴您一起前行

Approach
My clinical work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) — two highly effective, evidence-based frameworks I use daily in the Swedish public psychiatric system. These frameworks provide clear structure and practical tools when life feels overwhelming.
I also draw significantly from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). Where CBT and DBT address how to change, AEDP explores why certain patterns persist — bringing warmth, emotional attunement, and relational depth to the process. It is especially valuable for those carrying attachment wounds or long-held relational pain beneath a highly functional exterior.
In practice, I blend structured, goal-oriented work with genuine presence. Depending on what brings you to therapy, I may also draw on trauma-informed methods, mindfulness, somatic awareness, or imagery rescripting — always adapting to your pace and cultural context.
For executives and high-performing professionals, I frame our work as a psychological audit and leadership development. Together we:
Dismantle blocking patterns — Identify the cognitive habits quietly undermining your decision-making, relationships, or resilience.
Master emotional regulation — Harness DBT-based skills to sustain clarity and composure in high-stakes environments.
Build sustainable performance — Move past “survival mode” toward a state of genuine desire and agency.
With me, you don’t need to perform or hold everything together. Therapy becomes a safe space to slow down, explore honestly, feel deeply supported, and work toward sustainable, authentic change.
My approach is informed by a long-term commitment to mindfulness and self-observation. In our sessions, this translates into a high degree of presence and a non-judgmental stance. My goal is not to 'fix' you, but to provide a clear mirror—helping you understand yourself more deeply, strengthen your inner resources, and reconnect with your own inherent wisdom and resilience.
In our work together, you can expect a collaborative, respectful, and warm space — where you don't need to perform or hold it all together. I offer online sessions via secure video, and a free 20-minute introductory consultation so we can both assess whether we're a good fit.
我的治疗工作主要以认知行为疗法（CBT） 和 辩证行为疗法（DBT） 为基础，这也是我在瑞典公立精神科体系中日常使用的高效、循证方法。这些框架能在生活感到难以承受时，提供清晰的结构和实用的工具。
此外，我深受 AEDP（加速体验动力心理治疗） 的影响。虽然 CBT 和 DBT 提供了良好的结构与技能，但 AEDP 让我更深刻地理解治疗关系本身就是一种疗愈力量。这让我的工作更加温暖且富有情感共调，尤其能帮助来访者感受到被真正看见——特别是对有关系或依恋创伤背景的人。
在实际工作中，我会将结构化、目标导向的干预与真诚的临在和情感陪伴相结合。根据来访者的具体需求，我也会整合创伤知情的方法、正念、身体觉察或意象重塑等技术，并根据每个人的节奏和文化背景灵活调整。
我服务的许多来访者都是长期在外表功能很高、内在却承担了很多压力的专业人士。在与我工作时，你不需要继续“表演”或独自撑住。这里是一个可以安全地慢下来、诚实探索、感受到支持，并朝着可持续且真实的改变努力的空间。 我自己长期的正念与自我觉察练习也影响着我的工作方式。我不认为治疗是为了“修理”问题，而是帮助你更深入地理解自己，增强内在资源，重新连接自己的智慧、韧性和自主感。
在我们的咨询过程中，你会感受到一个合作、尊重且温暖的空间。我会细心留意你当下的想法、情绪和身体感受，并以你感到安全的节奏温和地陪伴和引导整个过程。
我通过安全的视频平台提供线上咨询，并提供20分钟免费初次咨询，以便我们双方判断是否适合继续合作。
Experience
I currently work as a licensed psychologist (Legitimerad Psykolog) in adult psychiatry within the Swedish public healthcare system. My clinical experience includes more than 3,200 hours of individual and group therapy, supporting clients with depression, anxiety, complex trauma, emotional dysregulation (including EIPS), and cross‑cultural adjustment.
Alongside my clinical role, I provide online therapy for Mandarin‑ and English‑speaking clients living abroad, offering a culturally sensitive space where they can explore their experiences without needing to translate themselves — linguistically or emotionally.

Education
I completed the five‑year psychology program (BSc + MSc) at Stockholm University, a training pathway that combines academic study with extensive clinical placements within the Swedish public healthcare system. This program forms the foundation for the Swedish psychologist license (Legitimerad Psykolog), which I obtained through the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen).
In addition to my core clinical training, I hold a DBT specialist certification from Karolinska Institutet, where I received advanced training in emotion regulation, crisis management, and skills‑based interventions for clients with emotional dysregulation. I have also completed further training in CBT, trauma‑informed approaches, neuropsychiatric assessment, and mindfulness‑based practices.
My education reflects both scientific rigor and a deep interest in how culture, identity, and lived experience shape psychological wellbeing. I continue to engage in ongoing professional development, supervision, and reflective practice to ensure that my work remains grounded, ethical, and responsive to the diverse needs of the clients I serve.
