Psychotherapy
I offer psychotherapy online through the securely encrypted platform Kaddio and on-site at my clinic in Marnäs (Dalarna, Sweden). Get in touch via the contact form under Contact if you are interested.
My job as a licensed psychologist is to help you — by scientifically proven methods and experience — on your way to the home that you really have always had. Together in an alliance with your best interest at the heart of the process, we challenge the strategies, behaviors, and patterns you had to use in your life, but that now, no longer serve you. We practice letting your feelings lead the way with important information about what you need and anchor this in both mind and body.
“Scroll up and take a closer look at the first image you came across on this page again. What do you see when you look at it? Do you see that it is a reflection, that the photo is of the lake, not the forest? What our first impression is of something says a lot about our inner world. Is the image beautiful, mysterious, or scary? What happened when you discovered that it was a picture of a reflection and not the surrounding forest? Did your impression change? If you take this to heart in terms of your inner world - how do you see the world? And what would it be like if you knew that it is just one reflection among many possible, that the reflection can change depending on, for example, the point of view and the current weather? That's one of the many things I hope to help with - the ability to see different points of view regardless of the weather within us.”
About
My name is Lotta Carter and I am a trained psychologist with a degree from Stockholm University (2018). I have worked both in specialist psychiatry and primary healthcare since then.
I work primarily with affect-focused psychotherapy, which means a focus on the connection between feelings, anxiety, and defense mechanisms (ways we avoid life as it is). I adapt my methods based on current circumstances since one size does not fit all.

Reflections
Under Reflections I share posts based on my experiences in psychology, mindfulness, zen, and different art forms. Through this, I hope to create a bridge between intellectual knowledge and lived experience. For me, it is important to take time for reflection to take care of my well-being. Other ways to take time to reflect can be, for example, to be in silence, to move your body in an attuned way, to be in nature or to have honest conversations with others. Do you take time for reflection? Is it important to you?
