Clinical Psychologist
What you can expect from your care
Hello, I’m Torgeir
A Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience and more than 12,000 sessions behind me. I really care about people feeling better and improving their lives.
I work with adults navigating difficult thoughts and feelings, mental health concerns and with those who want to understand themselves better — to recognise the patterns, cycles and ways of being that keep them stuck, and finally change them.
My approach is practical and collaborative. I'll be direct when that's useful and patient when that's what's needed. The goal isn't just to feel better in the short term — it's to build genuine insight and lasting skills that hold up when life gets hard again.
Whatever you are experiencing, let’s find ways to feel better together.
Unsure about booking? You are welcome you to reach out for a conversation to discuss your situation and whether I am suitable for you. You can do so here.
