Testimonials

  • Made me feel less alone

    "I reached out to Nanna before moving back to Denmark after having lived abroad for 10 years. Nanna was professional, kind and empathetic, and we connected immediately. I felt that she understood my issues and concerns about moving and being torn between cultures (having lived abroad herself), and she understood the challenges of reintegrating. She made me feel less alone and helped me identify some of the causes and patterns in my indecisiveness.”

  • Increased self-awareness

    "Exactly. Spot-on, that's what happens to me , and I've had difficulty accepting that the feeling of jealousy can still well up in me. I have a better understanding of why it happens, and conversations with Nanna have made it less and less prominent.”

  • Existential doubts

    "I've had moments where I felt stuck back in Denmark and doubted myself, but with Nanna's help, I now feel that I know myself better. I can identify patterns in my behavior and reactions and have gained a set of tools to handle my recurring existential doubts. I feel that she has given me the strength to be more confident in my decisions and in myself, no matter where life takes me.”

    Nicole, repatriated expat, in individual therapy

  • Clarity

    "It helped a lot to talk to you today. It was as if the veil in front of my face lifted a bit, so I can see more clearly now.”

    Bettina, in individual therapy for anxiety

  • Life-saving

    "It was almost life-saving to be allowed to feel it without being alone, together with you.”

    Woman in individual therapy

  • Helped me get a smooth return

    “I'm sure my return to Denmark would not have been as smooth without Nanna, and I can't imagine how it would have been without her support and companionship along the way. I've often heard that it takes a long time to find the right therapist, so the stars must have aligned, for Nanna was my first therapist.”
