Common questions about MCT<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n \t\t\t

This is Metacognitive Therapy (MCT)<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Current research shows that what maintains problems such as anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem is persistent worry and rumination, excessive attention to perceived problems and threats, and unhelpful coping behaviours that reinforce emotional distress. The aim of MCT is to help people regain flexible control over their attention and thinking, enabling them to break free from these unhelpful patterns.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Effective for a wide range of common mental health problems<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

MCT is effective for a range of conditions characterised by excessive worry, such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety Disorder and Health Anxiety. It has also demonstrated strong results in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and persistent depression. In my clinical experience, MCT is also highly effective for stress-related conditions and burnout, where similar patterns of thinking often contribute to delayed recovery.
Many people also seek psychological therapy for low self-esteem or difficulties in relationships. MCT can be highly effective in these areas too, helping people develop new ways of relating to their thoughts, themselves and others.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

The treatment Process<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

MCT is an active, change-oriented therapy, where we work from a shared understanding of the thinking processes that maintain the problem. Treatment is often around 10 sessions, although in some circumstances MCT can be a somewhat longer treatment. At the start of therapy, we will discuss goals, how to structure the treatment, and the likely duration of therapy.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\u201cMCT was simpler than other therapies that I have tried. We got going quickly with concrete change, and it wasn\u2019t only my symptoms that changed \u2013 but my whole attitute to myself and to life. It\u2019s evident that Erling is very experienced within MCT, and that he really likes his work.\u201d<\/h4>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Where it suits you best<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n

Onsite<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

My office is located in central Lund, just north of the city park (Stadsparken).<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Online<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

If you are further away, it is an excellent alternative to have your treatment online. I use the meeting platform Whereby, which I find smoother than the alternatives, and meets high standards of security with end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
