Our philosophy

Psykologvirke endeavors to support freedom and development of the individual, as well as healthy relationships between people. 

Our core belief is that all people deserve good health, freedom, joy, good connections with others and to develop to their potential both in the professional and private realms.

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.

Much of our therapy and human understanding is summarized in this longer piece concerning how we think that therapy can help.

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 from most of the private market is years of specialization in an intensive form of depth therapy where we can work more actively and effectively with compound states, when tools and techniques are not enough.

Additionally, we work from mainstream psychological base assumptions and are well-versed in a variety of methods. We work continuously to further our levels of competence through, among other things, regular seminars and supervision.

If you schedule an appointment with us you are therefore guaranteed to immediately be dealing with specialized, up-to-date and experienced psychologists, male or female depending on your preference, in the middle of downtown Oslo.

If you have already decided to contact us, you can send a request or book an appointment here.

Our psychologists can work with everything from life difficulties of shorter duration (for example various crises and dilemmas) to anxiety and depression as well as more long-term difficulties connected to self-esteem and relationships.

 

No challenge is too big or small. We have encountered the majority of themes and issues.

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 offer couples therapy for couples in all stages of life, with both single sessions and continued treatment.

We adapt our methods to the client. Our psychologists in downtown Oslo are familiar with, among other things, psychodynamic therapy, ISTDP, PACT, emotion focused psychotherapy, existential psychotherapy, cognitive therapy, mindfulness and metacognitive therapy.

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 offices in downtown Oslo.
