Anina offers individual psychotherapy for adults over 18. Her work is psychoanalytically informed. This means that she sees the content and the form of a person´s problems as meaningful. She also considers how unconscious factors may influence a person´s behaviour and impact on their emotional life. Anina's aim is to meet each person where they are. Together they work on reaching an understanding of what unfolds in the therapeutic process. In a working relationship, of which the foundation is trust, we collaboratively consider pathways, and ultimately move towards the relief of distress and greater insight.
