Swedish-speaking counselling for people living in London and beyond.
Perhaps you grew up in Sweden but now live somewhere else. Perhaps you have been away for years — but Swedish family expectations, relationships, culture and ways of thinking still feel very present. Or perhaps you simply feel that some things are easier to express in Swedish.
