Individual therapy for English speakers in Oslo

Finding the right therapist can take time, especially when you're living in a place that isn't your starting point. I offer therapy in English in a space where your experiences, context, and way of understanding the world can be explored openly and at your own pace. The work is grounded in curiosity, taking time to understand what matters to you and how you make sense of your experiences.

What therapy involves

Sessions are 50 minutes and can take place in person or online via Zoom. We decide together what pace and frequency feels right for you. The work is grounded in Integrativ therapy (Petzold), an approach that considers the person in context, including emotional, relational, and life experiences. It is also informed by Compassionate Inquiry, developed by Gabor Maté, which focuses on gently exploring underlying patterns and how past experiences may shape the present. It's a confidential space to talk through whatever is present for you, without a fixed agenda or set number of sessions. The pace of the work is guided by you. Sessions are offered in English, with the option to work in Norwegian where preferred.

Who comes to see me

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You might be navigating anxiety, burnout, low mood, or a sense that something isn't quite working, even if it's hard to put into words. For some, this connects to living in a different country, adjusting to a new environment, or managing change in an unfamiliar context. For others, it may relate to relationships, work, identity, or life transitions. If something feels difficult or important to explore, that is enough.

Getting Started

How therapy with me works

Starting therapy is straightforward. There are no long waiting lists and no referrals needed.

01

Free 20-minute consultation

Book a call to talk through what's going on. It's a chance to ask questions and decide whether working together feels right.

02

First session

The first session is about understanding your situation in more depth. I'll listen without judgment and start to build a picture of what would be most useful for you.

03

Ongoing work at your pace

Sessions are typically weekly or fortnightly. Most clients notice a difference within a few sessions. There is no fixed programme or set number of sessions.

About Andi

I've lived your situation too

I'm originally from Scotland and have lived in Oslo for over a decade. Alongside my work as a therapist, I bring experience of building a life in a different country, which informs how I think about change, adjustment, and context in the work. My background is in psychology, and I am trained in Integrativ therapy (Petzold), with additional influence from Compassionate Inquiry. I am currently undertaking a PhD at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, focusing on substance use and mental health.

These are the situations and experiences that come up most often in the work.

Anxiety

Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, even when you're trying to keep things going.

Depression

Low mood, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from yourself, others, or things that used to matter.

Identity and Belonging

Questions around identity, belonging, or feeling caught between different parts of your life.

Client Feedback

What clients say

"Finding a therapist who actually understood what it feels like to live somewhere where you don't speak the language was hard. Andi got it immediately. She's warm, practical, and the sessions felt like talking to someone who has been through a version of the same thing. I came in anxious and overwhelmed. I'm in a much better place now."

"I hit a wall last year after three years of pushing hard at work in a city where I had no real support network. Andi helped me understand what was actually happening and gave me tools I still use every day."

MD

Burnout, Oslo

"I'm based in Bergen and finding an English-speaking therapist here is almost impossible. Andi does Zoom sessions and it works really well. I've been seeing her for six months and it's made a real difference."

Common Questions

Questions about individual therapy in Oslo

Most therapists in Oslo who offer English sessions are Norwegian professionals who learned the language. I'm Scottish, English is my first language, and the cultural frame I grew up with is the same one many of my clients carry. That means less time explaining context and more time on the actual work. I also have 10 years of lived experience of building a life in Oslo as someone from elsewhere, which means I understand the specific challenges of settling here as an outsider.
There is no fixed programme or set number of sessions. Some people find that 8 to 12 sessions makes a real difference. Others prefer to work over a longer period. Most clients start to notice something shifting within the first three or four sessions. I check in regularly about how the work is feeling and what would be most useful going forward.
Yes. Sessions are in English by default but Norwegian is available. Most clients who come to Therapy Oslo specifically want English sessions, that is the core of what this practice offers. But if Norwegian feels more natural, or if you want to mix, that is easy to arrange.
In-person sessions are at Ruseløkkveien 59 in Oslo, two minutes on foot from Aker Brygge, with good public transport connections. Zoom sessions are available for clients anywhere in Norway and across Scandinavia. For most clients outside central Oslo, Zoom is the default and the quality of the work is the same whether you are in the same room or on a screen.
