What is Metacognitive Therapy (MCT)?\u00a0 <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) focuses on how you relate to your thoughts, rather\nthan the content of your thoughts. People rarely become trapped by negative\nthoughts themselves. Rather, emotional difficulties are maintained by repeatedly\nanalysing, worrying about or trying to control those thoughts in unhelpful ways.\n\n\nThe aim of MCT is to help you step out of the thinking patterns that maintain\nemotional distress. You learn to let thoughts come and go without becoming caught\nup in them, helping to reduce anxiety, stress and low mood in a more direct and\nlasting way.\u00a0

There is no requirement to decide in advance which type of therapy is right for you \u2013 we will explore that together during our initial sessions.\nMetacognitive Therapy (MCT) is particularly helpful if you find yourself becoming\ncaught up in worry, rumination or persistent patterns of negative thinking that are\ndifficult to step away from on your own.\u00a0
Sometimes, however, what people are looking for is not a structured course of\ntherapy, but the opportunity to speak with an experienced psychologist as a\nprofessional sounding board. This can be particularly valuable during periods of\npersonal or professional change. Such consultations may involve three to five\nsessions, or continue for longer, depending on your needs and preferences.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

How many sessions does MCT involve, and what can I expect from therapy?\u00a0 <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

MCT typically involves around ten sessions. We usually meet weekly at the\nbeginning of therapy, before moving to fortnightly sessions later on. The pace of\ntherapy is something we decide together, based on what best suits your needs.\nFor most people, therapy lasts around three to four months. However, every\nindividual is different, and if you would prefer a longer period of support, we can tailor\nthe duration accordingly.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I am usually able to offer an initial appointment within a few weeks. Choosing private\npsychological therapy often means considerably shorter waiting times than those\ntypically available through public healthcare.\n\n\nPlease get in touch, and I will be happy to suggest a suitable appointment.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. Meeting someone you have\nnever met before and talking about personal difficulties is a big step for many people.\nI work with people of all ages and from a wide range of backgrounds and life\ncircumstances. One thing I am often told by former clients is that I am easy to talk to\nand that I have a way of making therapy feel straightforward and manageable.\nIf you are unsure whether I am the right psychologist for you, we can simply begin with an initial consultation and see how it feels. Feeling comfortable with your\npsychologist is an important part of successful therapy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

There is no need to prepare anything in particular before your first appointment.\nDuring our first session, we will talk about the difficulties that have brought you to\ntherapy and discuss how Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) may be the best way to help.\nIf you would like to make a few notes beforehand \u2013 for example about previous\ntherapy or anything else you would like me to know \u2013 you are very welcome to do so.\nOtherwise, there is no need to prepare. We will simply take things one step at a time\nduring our first session.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Absolutely. Some people find it reassuring to bring a partner, family member or close\nfriend to their first session, and that is entirely your choice.\nThere are also occasions when I may suggest inviting someone close to you to join\none or two sessions, if I believe their involvement could support the therapeutic\nprocess. Whether you choose to do so is always entirely up to you.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I work with young people from the age of 15, with consent from parent(s) or legal\nguardian(s).\nFor clients under the age of 18, it is particularly common for one or both parents to\nbe involved in therapy, both during the initial consultation and later in the process.\nThis is always done in a way that suits the young person, is clinically appropriate,\nand respects their autonomy.\n\n\nThe nature of parental involvement varies from person to person, and is something\nwe decide together when planning therapy.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. In accordance with the Swedish Patient Data Act, I keep confidential clinical\nrecords.\nMy records are completely separate from the electronic record systems used within\nthe Swedish public healthcare system. Healthcare providers within the public system\ncannot access my records or see that you have attended therapy with me.\u00a0

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The fee is SEK 1675 per session. Each session lasts approximately 45\u201350 minutes.\u00a0
One of the advantages of Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) is that it is often a shorter\ncourse of therapy than many other approaches, making it a cost-effective option for\nmany people. This is one of the reasons why I have chosen to specialise in MCT.\u00a0
At the start of therapy, I will always give you my assessment of the likely length of\ntreatment, so that you have a clear idea of what to expect.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

I provide supervision in Metacognitive Therapy for therapists who are registered\nMCT-I practitioners or currently undertaking MCT training. I have many years of\nexperience supervising MCT therapists and serve as a supervisor on the MCT\nMasterclass programme at the MCT Institute.\n\n\nI also provide supervision in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), drawing on more\nthan 15 years of experience supervising clinicians working in mental health services,\nprimary care, occupational health and other clinical settings. I work with both newly\nqualified and experienced therapists.\u00a0

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes. Supervision can be provided individually or in groups and is always centred on\nreal clinical cases and the challenges you encounter in your practice.\u00a0
The format is tailored to your needs, with the aim of providing practical guidance that\nis directly applicable in your day-to-day clinical work. We also take into account what\nworks best in terms of your schedule and the frequency of supervision.\u00a0
If you run your own private practice and are looking for occasional, just-in-time\nsupervision rather than regular scheduled sessions, I am happy to accommodate\nthat as well.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Do you also offer supervision when the focus is on the therapist rather than\nthe therapeutic approach?\u00a0 <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As therapists, we are our own most important clinical tool. Sometimes, what you\nneed from supervision is not guidance on a particular therapeutic approach, but a\nspace to reflect on your own clinical work, professional development, or the\nchallenges you encounter as a therapist.\n\n\nWith 25 years of clinical experience and more than 15 years as a supervisor, I tailor\nsupervision to your individual needs and stage of professional development.\n\n\nIf you are interested in MCT but are not sure whether it is the right approach for\nyou, we can discuss this together before starting therapy.\nI am usually able to offer an initial appointment within a few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
