At Mentalt Overskud, we offer more than just therapy. We provide a safe and welcoming space where you can explore what matters to you, in your own time, and with a psychologist who tailors the method to suit your unique needs. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties or simply feel overwhelmed by life, you don’t have to face it alone.

We believe therapy should be just as individual as you are.

What is therapy – and why do people seek it?

Therapy is a collaborative process between you and a psychologist, where the aim is to better understand your thoughts, emotions, behaviours and experiences – and to find new ways of navigating challenges.

People seek therapy for many different reasons. Some come because of a specific life event, others because they feel stuck or disconnected without knowing why. Common reasons include:

  • Stress, anxiety or depression
  • Relationship or family difficulties
  • Grief, loss or existential questions
  • Low self-esteem or identity concerns
  • Past trauma or childhood adversity
  • Burnout, work-related stress or lack of energy
  • Personal growth and self-understanding

At Mentalt Overskud, we welcome all of you – no matter your reason.

Our therapeutic approach

What makes our practice unique is our broad range of psychological methods and our belief that therapy should be adapted to the individual, not the other way around. We work integratively, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as:

How does therapy work at Mentalt Overskud?

Step 1 – First session

Guide: How can therapy help?

Therapy can provide an immense amount of support for those struggling with their mental health. As Psychologists we have witnessed how our clients get help and be able to grow and heal. For those considering therapy for themselves or for someone close to them, here are some of the ways it can help.
 
For starters, therapy can provide a safe place to express your feelings. Oftentimes, people struggle to talk about their emotions with the people they’re closest to, rarely letting themselves open up to truly process and explore the depths of feelings they have. In therapy, you have a designated time and space to open up and really identify and articulate your thoughts and feelings. By doing so, you can better understand how your emotional state is impacting your behaviors and what changes you can make to better cope with them. This can give a feeling of clarity and increased emotional control that can help make big life decisions and adjustments easier.
 
Another benefit of therapy is the level of support and guidance it can offer. Having a compassionate ear that can both recognize and respect your struggles is invaluable. Being able to talk through any difficult situations with someone in a non-judgmental environment can make a huge difference in building self-confidence. Your therapist is there to be an advocate for you, while also providing honest and objective feedback and insight.
 
Therapy isn’t just catered to those with mental illnesses. It can be used to work on life skills such as communication, decision making, coping strategies, and interpersonal relationships. For example, your therapist can help you better recognize and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that could be influencing your decision making and behavior. Or, if you’re finding yourself struggling with communication, your therapist can work with you on ways to better manage arguments, navigate difficult conversations, and express yourself in a healthier way.
 
Overall, therapy can be incredibly helpful for people of all walks of life. It can be a safe, judgement-free zone for people to work through difficult, complex, and yet invaluable emotional and mental tasks. So if you’re considering therapy for yourself or for a loved one, know that having access to the powerful tool of therapy could lead to remarkable changes.
