Support for internationals and English-speaking clients in Stockholm and Sweden
At Kognitiva Teamet, our mission is to support you in understanding yourself, strengthening your well-being and moving forward in your life. We combine warmth, professionalism and evidence-based methods to create a safe space where change is possible. Kognitiva Teamet offers evidence-based psychological treatment for adults, couples, and families. Several of our licensed psychologists and psychotherapists work fluently in English and have extensive experience supporting international clients living in Sweden.
If you’ve tried to navigate the Swedish healthcare system, you know it can be confusing, especially if you’re new here or don’t speak Swedish fluently. Waiting lists are long, referrals can be hard to get, and the process often feels overwhelming and cumbersome.
At Kognitiva Teamet, we make it simple. You don’t need a referral, a Swedish personal number, a Swedish bank account, or even BankID to start therapy with us. Our digital booking system and international payment options make it easy for you to access professional psychological support in English — at our clinics in Stockholm or online anywhere in Sweden.
