Clinical standpoint
My approach to therapy is based on a comprehensive understanding of both the individual's inner world (personal challenges, emotional reactions, and relational dynamics)...
and the external factors (such as norms, systems, and power dynamics) that impact individuals' well-being and welfare.
For me, therapy is about finding strength and meaning in our individual reactions and options, even when the larger structures around us remain unchanged.
It is also a journey towards enhancing our ability to make conscious choices and take an active role in our own lives, regardless of external challenges.

About me
I have worked in municipal substance abuse treatment, regionally in psychiatry, and in private sector psychotraumatology.
I also have many years of experience as an advisor, project manager, and team coordinator.
I am part of the grassroots initiative Daggry KBH, which offers therapy support to people who have experienced sexual and gender-based violence.
I am also part of various networks and collectives of therapists with diverse minority positionalities, where we support each other professionally, explore critical psychology and community-centered approaches, and reflect on our responsibilities as health care providers beyond the 1:1 sessions we have with clients in our offices.
My services go beyond individual counseling—I also provide therapy for families, couples, and groups. Sessions are tailored to different needs and can be held online.
Additionally, I am a certified NADA acupuncturist through NADA Denmark. The NADA protocol is a holistic approach to mental health that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. This method is often used in conjunction with individual treatment and group therapy but can also stand alone for general stress management.
In addition to counseling, I give professional presentations, participate in panel discussions, facilitate workshops, and provide training sessions, which can be adapted for different organizations and audiences.
Methods
I'm particularly interested in how emotional patterns and attachment dynamics manifest in the 'here and now'. Much of my work centers on complex issues such as developmental trauma, transgenerational trauma, and the intricate web of power dynamics and systemic violence. These elements are central to my practice because they reflect the social contexts my clients navigate daily. I explore how past experiences and traumas shape current relationships, creating pathways for (and away from) closeness.
As a clinical psychologist, I strive to understand how aspects of our backgrounds and identities shape our experiences. My approach is rooted in intersectional and norm-critical thinking. I work to question dominant societal norms that often go unnoticed yet significantly contribute to stress. Additionally, I apply an intercultural lens to explore how our unique backgrounds influence our values and coping strategies.
I have a keen interest in how grassroots communities build resilience and sustainability through autonomous structures and collective (mass) mobilization. This has inspired me to blend clinical psychology with work and organizational psychology, especially when addressing topics like stress and minority stress, power dynamics, and violence.
Currently, I'm immersing myself in approaches such as NARM, EMDR, critical psychology, body therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. Although I am not yet fully trained in these methods, they are shaping my approach to healing and personal growth.
I receive regular supervision from authorized psychologists to ensure the quality of my work.

Policies and guidelines
If you experience delays for an appointment or have any other questions regarding our arrangement, please contact me via e-mail (psykolog@humaf.dk) and SMS (+45 42 22 02 39). This ensures that I read your message promptly.
Payment is accepted via mobile pay or cash after each session. If desired, an invoice can be sent via email after the consultation. Please note that I do not have a national health insurance number and unfortunately cannot accept patients referred by a general practitioner. It may be a good idea to check if you or your family members have health insurance through work or privately, which may cover psychological treatment in whole or in part.
To honor and respect the founders and original purpose of NADA, and to work in alignment with norm-critical and decolonial principles, I will never charge more than 25 DKK for NADA treatments. All proceeds go toward purchasing new acupuncture needles and other necessary equipment for NADA sessions, as well as funding free treatments for people without means.
You will not be turned away due to a lack of funds; I often offer NADA for free, so please stay tuned for events featuring free or sliding-scale NADA sessions.
During times of high demand, I will refer clients to other acupuncturists and body therapists with significantly more experience. These practitioners are local immigrants and solidarity-focused community organizers who are committed to decolonial and norm-critical approaches.
Cancellations must be made 24 hours before the appointment, or the full fee will be charged. Cancellations are appreciated even earlier, allowing others to benefit from the available time. For online sessions, cancellations must be made 48 hours in advance.
LANGUAGES
Multilingualism is a bridge that connects me with my clients' deepest thoughts and feelings, allowing me to understand and relate to their unique backgrounds and worlds on a more personal level.
I offer therapy in Danish, Urdu, Punjabi, Norwegian, and English.
I can understand and communicate central words, concepts, and phrases in Hindi, Tamil, Turkish, Farsi, Spanish, Arabic and German, but I am unfortunately not always able to apply these languages in a clinical setting.
FINDING THE CLINIC
The clinic is located approximately 2 minutes from Nørrebro Station. You will find the clinic in the office building on the 3rd floor of Nørrebro Bycenter / Nørrebro City Center. When you arrive at the center, enter through the entrance (2c) next to Vero Moda. Take the stairs to the 3rd floor and turn left through the white door to find the waiting room.
I don't have a name tag in the hallway, and the door to the waiting room might be locked after 6:00 p.m., but don't worry: I'll come out to get you if I suspect you're confused or locked out!
ACCESSIBILITY
The clinic is very close to the metro, bus, and train (Nørrebro St.). There is an elevator to the 3rd floor. The consultation room, waiting room, and toilet are accessible for wheelchairs. There is good lighting and acoustics in the consultation room. Both bike and car parking are available nearby.
If you have any special needs or a disability that I should be aware of to ensure that your experience at the clinic is as comfortable and accessible as possible, you are welcome to send me a message. I will do my best to accommodate your needs within the clinic's capabilities and limitations.
