Hi, I’m Sif — Psychotherapist in Aalborg
I’m originally from Iceland and moved to Aalborg over 20 years ago. As an expat myself, I understand how overwhelming life can feel — especially when you’re far from home.
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong. I meet you with warmth and presence, and together we create space around what feels heavy, so it becomes easier to be you. In therapy, you don’t have to face the difficult things alone. You get support and new ways of understanding and handling what you’re going through — in ways that can make a real difference in your everyday life.
My practice is located on Kalkskrænten in Aalborg, and I also offer online sessions.
Is this you?
Maybe some of this feels familiar
- You moved here for work, love or study — and somewhere it started to feel heavier than you expected.
- You feel far from family and old friends, and home can feel very far away.
- You function on the outside — fine at work, fine in public — but inside it feels heavy.
- Building a new life in Denmark takes more energy than you have, and some days feel lonely.
- You lie awake at night, and your thoughts keep going in circles.
- It’s hard to put words to what’s wrong — and even harder in a second language.

Frequently asked questions
What expats and English speakers most often want to know before reaching out.
Do I need to speak Danish to come to therapy with you?
No. All sessions are offered in fluent English. I also speak Danish and Icelandic, so you are welcome to switch languages whenever it feels right.
Do I need a referral from my doctor to have sessions with you?
Many private health insurances — including those provided by employers — cover psychotherapy. Check your policy, and I’m happy to provide documentation if needed.
I also work with international employee assistance programmes (EAPs), which many expats have access to through their workplace.
Your GP can refer you to a psychologist through the Danish public health system (sygesikring), but waiting times are often 3 months or longer.
What can I expect from a session?
We talk about what’s on your mind, and I gently guide the conversation so what’s underneath becomes clearer — your patterns, your reactions, and what’s actually making things difficult.
Some sessions are mostly talking; others include simple body-awareness exercises to help things feel a little lighter, if that feels right for you.
How many sessions do I need?
Can my partner join sessions?
I don’t offer couples therapy, but your partner is welcome to join you if it helps you feel more at ease — especially in the beginning. Some expats prefer having their Danish or international partner with them for support, and that is completely okay.
What if I'm in crisis right now?
Do you offer online sessions?
Many expats in Denmark choose online sessions because they’re flexible and easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Whether you’re in North Jutland or elsewhere in Denmark, online sessions are a flexible option and work well for many clients.
Is therapy confidential in Denmark?
