Therapy for helpers & Helping Professionals
Burnout denotes a kind of amnesia: not only in the forgetting of our very personal priorities but the inability to locate a source inside us that previously seemed to run through all the seasons of our life, (David Whyte, 2024)
My approach to therapy
Therapy is not about being done to—but being in a relationship with.
Hello I am Frederikke Jensen, a masters qualified, counsellor. I enjoy working with people in the helping professions.
I invite people to go deeper, to go beyond symptom reduction and diagnosis, to enable lasting mental wellbeing.
Where the rubber hits the road is when we go beyond surface-level technique when we have therapeutic conversations in the realm of emotion, cognition, sensations and in what happens in between us—I work from the premise that we are shaped in relationships and we can change in relationships.
Beginning Therapy
The goal might be to figure out the goal—we make space for “not knowing”. It is okay to take time to think about whether therapy with me is for you. As a client, you can ask me questions, too. I usually allow for four sessions for us to decide if we want to work together and for us to understand what you want from therapy.
Scheduling
I usually work with people weekly. Meeting regularly helps us get to know each other, maintain momentum, and give you consistent support through difficult times. Your session will take place on the same day and time each week as part of our mutual commitment to the work. Sessions start and finish on time.
Short-term work or longer-term work?
It depends on the depth of your struggles and where you are at right now. I am interested in what you feel, think and hope for and what is most pressing for you.
Fees
We will discuss fees when we first speak. My initial focus in a brief phone call is to learn about you and find out what you are looking for.
