Our philosophy

Our starting point is that all people deserve good health, freedom, joy, good connections with others and the development of their own potential both at work and in private life. 

We all have our limits when life gets a little too much and we are no longer able to be the best version of ourselves. 

There is always a reason behind seemingly incomprehensible or exaggerated reactions and there is always a way out. 

We commit ourselves to assisting with ourselves as whole people and the best of professional knowledge to help people on their way there, whatever their starting point.

What drives us is the certainty of the differences this work can make for individuals, families and other relatives woven into their lives.

What can you expect from us?

You can expect that we are active, friendly, good-listeners, open, honest, direct, challenging, focused and skillful.

All matters will be taken seriously and treated with a high degree of confidentiality and with a high degree of professionalism. We are focused on what is most important for you.

You can schedule a single session, intermittent sessions whenever you need, or set weekly, biweekly or triweekly sessions. It is completely up to you how often and for how long you wish to continue therapy.

During the first conversation, we can together create a realistic picture of how therapy will be able to help you and what will be required to achieve the positive goals you may have.

Sometimes we can make a lot of progress in a few sessions, while other processes can take longer periods of time. Regardless, it is our clear goal to offer something of value to you from the very first session.

Why choose Psykologvirke?

What sets us apart most in the private market is the strength of our professional community and the years of commitment to professional and personal development – together. 

The culture we have built over the past decade makes us an attractive place to work with low turnover and many experienced specialists. 

This allows us to work actively and effectively even with more complex conditions – when tools and techniques are not enough.

We otherwise work based on mainstream psychological assumptions, and master a selection of modern, evidence-based methods. 

We are constantly working on competence development, including through regular internal training, professional and personal guidance, including breathing exercises for the staff group. 

If you book an appointment with us, you are guaranteed to get straight to highly specialized, up-to-date and experienced psychologists, male or female as you wish - right in the center of Oslo.

Our psychologists assist with everything from limited life difficulties such as various crises and dilemmas, to anxiety and depression and more long-term difficulties related to self-esteem and relationships.

 

No challenge is too small and no challenge is too big. We have encountered most topics and issues and will meet you with understanding rather than condemnation. We will both support and challenge you. 

If you are uncertain if your difficulties are suited for therapy there is only one way to find out - something we can address openly in the first session.

We also offer couples therapy for couples in all life stages, both single sessions and longer courses.

We adapt the methods to the client. Our psychologists in central Oslo are proficient in psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP, existential psychotherapy, cognitive therapy, mindfulness and metacognitive therapy, among other things.

We can also offer coaching / counseling in connection with various career and life choices, as well as lectures, work environment mapping, conflict management, sickness absence measures, work-oriented therapy, company health services and management development.

We have both male and female psychologists at our office in central Oslo and online. 

Advantages of choosing a private psychologist?

  • Psykologvirke, located in downtown Oslo, is a private practice psychologist office. This means you will not need a referral from a physician.
  • By using us as a private psychologist, you are guaranteed psychological help with a short waiting time, so you get started quickly before the problems develop.
  • Sometimes you can get a private psychologist on the day and you go straight to an experienced, self-selected one psychologist Oslo downtown.
  • There are no specific limitations in the treatment framework. These are clear advantages compared to a public psychologist.

Disadvantages of a private psychologist

  • The disadvantage of a private psychologist is that you have to cover the costs of the treatment yourself, unless you or your employer have health insurance. The vast majority of standard health insurance policies cover 10 therapy hours with a private psychologist.
  • Many employers have health insurance for their employees. In some cases, an employer can also cover the costs of therapy outside of health insurance plans.
  • If you pay yourself, the expense may be eligible for tax deduction (see Tax Act §6-83). You can use this link for more details about what options there are for both public and private psychologists in central Oslo.
  • We wish you all the best with the wonderful project you have going on. If we can contribute, we will gladly do so.
