Who are we?

We are a team of highly educated, experienced, and internationally trained therapists providing high-quality psychological help and professional coaching in Stockholm and across borders. We work in English, Swedish, Spanish, and Catalan.

We work extensively with expats – people living abroad who face the challenges of adapting to a new country. We also welcome Swedes who want fast access to high-quality psychological help (in English).

Whether you are seeking support for emotional difficulties, relational issues or personal growth, we provide a safe, confidential and professional space designed to meet your individual needs.

  • You can reach out directly to us and schedule your first session without extra steps or bureaucracy.

  • Begin therapy or coaching when you need it. You don’t have to wait for months to get the support that you need.

  • Meet us in person in our cozy offices in Stockholm or meet us online in the comfort of your own house or wherever you are in the world.

  • Each session draws on scientifically supported approaches like Schema Therapy, CBT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy — tailored to your goals and pace.

  • Each therapeutic and coaching process is individually designed, ensuring that our work aligns with your specific goals, challenges, and life context.

  • We collaborate closely within our team, offering smooth and fast transitions to colleagues with specific expertise when it best supports your therapeutic goals. For ex. transitioning from Couples therapy to Individual therapy, adding Child therapy when you consider it needed, or adding some sessions of professional coaching when you are ready for a career transition.

  • As a private practice, your personal information remains fully confidential and is not registered in any public health database.

Testimonials

  • We carried so much resentment after divorce that we were not able to talk to each other. Mediation helped us agreed on things in a calmer way. We now have a better way to communicate and I can see the positive effect on the kids.

    Janine and Christian

  • In the sessions with Alba there is a moment when the universe stops. It is a click. A thought that you were not aware of, a different perspective that you had not seen before, a pattern that you repeat without realizing it. And then you move back in tune with the universe.

    But now it is different. You are closer to what you want to achieve, and you see so clearly your future self, that objective that you want to achieve, that you feel that you can touch it.

    Thanks Alba for making difficult things easy for me, for helping me achieve what I want, for your coaching and your teachings. I feel tremendously lucky to have found you.

    Marissa

  • Rossana wrote all my problems on the whiteboard and drew causal paths, unhealthy patterns, obstacles and ways to get out. And that was our first session!!!. She completely opened my eyes and helped me move forward.

    Elizabeth

  • Working with Alba was an amazing experience. She helped me move past barriers and realize things I would have not done on my own.

    Throughout our sessions, she was warm and kind but brutally honest at the same time and gave me a reality check whenever I needed one. If you are feeling stuck on any subject or you want to realize a bigger vision for yourself, working with Alba might be the thing to get you moving towards your goals!

    Lilianna

  • Rossana has been a game changer for our relationship. She has helped us to communicate better and understand each other’s emotional needs. We are now able to work through conflicts in a more effective and considerate way. We are a team! as she says.

    Yasmin and Steven

  • Rossana has helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. She is a skilled therapist who made me see potential where I only saw misery. I had never felt so understood and supported. I’m so grateful to have found her.

    Beatrice

  • Alba, Thank you so much for showing me that it is ok to be vulnerable and to not be ashamed of this. Our sessions have opened me up to a newer way of thinking and to appreciate my self-worth. For this, I am very thankful.

    I’m sure there are going to be many people that are going to benefit from working with you.

    Chris

  • I’ve been seeing Rossana for a few months and I can honestly say that it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my mental health. She is kind, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable. I feel better after every session with her

    Magnus

  • The last year of my PhD was hell. I thought that I would not make it. Our weekly sessions gave me the emotional support that I needed. To hear her warm voice at 8.00am the day of my dissertation making me feel so ready is something that has no price. Highly recommended!!

    Marco

  • We were able to navigate infidelity in a non-violent way. It was not easy but all the work we did in therapy resulted in significant improvements and it has strengthened our relationship.

    Lindsay and Fredrik

  • During my sessions with Alba I felt comfortable and relaxed. Whilst engaging in sessions, Alba listened attentively, offered support, positive thoughts, reflections and together we created strategies to progress forward.

    Whilst working with Alba I gained clarity to deal with things at hand and allow myself time to take a step at a time to move forward and enjoy the moment.

    Bron

  • Rossana gave me what no other therapist had given me before. The feeling that I was not alone in the world anymore. She even called me on weekends to check on me when I was really down. Invaluable help! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    Barbara

  • Rossana is an exceptional therapist. She truly listened and helped me deal with my trauma. She confronted my parents and my bullies in the therapy room through visualisation exercises. Never had somebody stood up for me. So healing!! I don’t feel the weight i was carrying with me anymore.

    Susanne

  • So many things changed for the best since I started to see Rossana. I was depressed, unemployed, coming out from a painful breakup, and had zero confidence. After a lot of work on myself, now I have a dream job, know how to set boundaries, my relationships have improved and I’m engaged to a wonderful man!!
