“Your true self, without shame or self-criticism”

Verified by Kyan

About Louise

I am Louise, an authorised psychologist and a specialist in psychotherapy with adults. I work with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, self-worth and stress. Before I went into private practice, I worked for nine years in psychiatry in Region Midtjylland, at Psykiatriens Hus in Silkeborg from 2015 to 2023 and in Aarhus from 2014 to 2015.

I qualified with a master's degree in psychology from Aarhus University in 2013, and I was authorised in January 2017. I have trained further in EMDR, ISTDP and DAT. That includes EMDR basic training, parts I and II, with EMDR Danmark in Aarhus in 2022 and 2023, a three-year ISTDP core training with Bjarne Thannel in Aarhus from 2018 to 2023, with a precore in 2017, and an extended DAT training in Värnamo, Sweden, in 2016.

My professional drive is a wish to help my clients discover and embrace their true self without shame and self-criticism. In our sessions you will meet an informal style, where both laughter and tears have room, and where you are invited to be exactly as you are. I offer therapy in Danish and in English, in person at Psykologpraksis Bavngaard in Aarhus N and online.

How Louise works

I work from the therapy forms EMDR, ISTDP and DAT, and I also use prolonged exposure. In our sessions you meet an informal style, where both laughter and tears have room, and where you are invited to be exactly as you are. My wish is to help you discover and embrace your true self without shame and self-criticism.

An individual session is 50 or 90 minutes, in person at my practice in Aarhus N or online. I also offer an intensive PTSD treatment over six days across two weeks, with a three-hour first conversation, 18 hours of therapy and a follow-up. I offer therapy in Danish and in English.

Approaches

General information from Kyan about each method, not a description of how Louise works.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured method for working with distressing memories. While you briefly bring a memory to mind, the therapist guides you through bilateral stimulation such as eye movements or taps, which can help the memory feel less intense. It is best known for its use after traumatic experiences.

Psychodynamic therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier experiences, and feelings you may not be fully aware of, shape your life today. Patterns that show up in your relationships, and sometimes in the relationship with the therapist, become something to understand together. It is often used for recurring difficulties with mood, relationships and self-esteem.
