Karolina Olofsson

I like to work side by side with you and take a collaborative approach. I believe no one knows what it is like to be you, and live your life, more than you; however together with your insights I provide the technical expertise to help you through the therapeutic process by helping you address unpleasant thoughts and feelings, explore psychological distress and develop roadmaps for change. My therapeutic style is integrative in nature and inspired by trauma, existential, and acceptance and commitment-focused therapies. I like to combine clinical knowledge and counselling skills to support you develop psychological flexibility and take control of your own wellbeing. My work focuses on your sense of agency, self-worth, meaning making and authenticity. If this sounds right for you, drop me a line to explore at karolina.olofsson@kopsychology.com and see whether my services might be for you. I offer 15-minute free discovery calls.

In my private practice and as part of the KonTerra Group in the US I work with clients internationally who struggle with relationships, anxiety, family dynamics, life and work transitions, burnout, depression, stress and conflict management, and identity issues. I have worked in the private and the third sector in the UK and Norway providing clinical assessments, therapeutic services, crisis interventions, support groups, supervision, and mindfulness practice. Earlier in my career I worked with patients who had psychosis, schizophrenia, suicidal ideation, post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociative disorders, and survivors of human trafficking and sexual violence.
