The price for a 90-minute session is 1800 NOK.

The journey begins with an initial consultation designed to establish a comfortable and productive therapeutic relationship. Here’s what you can expect: 

 

First Meeting Objectives 

Our first session serves multiple important purposes: 

• Mutual introduction and getting to know each other 

• Assessing the potential for a productive therapeutic partnership 

• Developing an initial understanding of your relationship dynamics 

• Providing a preliminary perspective on how our work together might support your goals 

Session Dynamics 

During this initial meeting, we’ll explore your relationship’s current landscape. My primary aim is to gain a comprehensive picture of your unique situation and provide an honest, professional assessment of how therapy might benefit you. 

Notably, meaningful change often begins immediately. Couples frequently experience: 

• Enhanced mutual understanding 

• Increased relational clarity 

• A renewed sense of connection 

• Insights into their interaction patterns 

Practical Details 

• Session Duration:  

• • First session: Up to two hours (includes initial consultation) 

• • Subsequent sessions: 90 minutes 

• • Important: Extended first session does not impact the standard fee 

• Session Frequency: We typically begin with weekly sessions, strategically adjusting the frequency as your relationship progresses and improves. This approach allows for consistent support while promoting increasing independence. 

Next Steps 

At the conclusion of our first meeting, if you feel comfortable and believe my approach aligns with your needs, we’ll discuss scheduling future appointments. This collaborative decision ensures that you feel fully supported in your therapeutic journey. 

My goal is to create a welcoming, professional environment where you can explore your relationship with confidence and hope. 

Couples can choose whether they want to do the therapy online or on site in Hvalstad (which is 20 minutes from Oslo and Drammen).

At the core of my practice is a fundamental belief: quality relationship support should be available to all couples, and families regardless of economic circumstances. To honor this commitment, I offer flexible fee structures that prioritize your access to transformative therapeutic care.

 

If you have to cancel a session, please try to do so at least 48 hours (two working days) before the session. If you fail to do so, I will unfortunately not be able to offer the session to another couple and will charge a cancellation fee of 1000 NOK.

The therapy takes place in a confidential, discreet setting. The topics I am entrusted with are subject to my discretion and will not be made known to third parties. Couples can release me from the duty of confidentiality – in whole or in part.

 

One of the most important purposes of couples therapy is to strengthen your emotional bond with another. To achieve this, it is necessary for both partners to be able to open up emotionally and talk about their needs, desires and honest feelings. This is only possible if both partners feel confident. 

If violence or contempt occurs in your relationship, this can become very difficult or even impossible. In this case, couples therapy is not very promising or can take a very long time. You may also find that separation is the best solution.
