Gustafsson Psykolog

About the Company

Gustafsson Psykolog is a private psychological practice operating in Malmö in the Skåne region. The company provides outpatient psychological care for adults, combining private visits with work commissioned by the public health care region.

Services

As part of its activities, the practice offers professional supportive conversations, psychological counseling, and psychological therapy aimed at improving well-being and functioning in daily life. The primary method of work is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is an evidence-based approach focusing on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

Clients can receive help:

• in the form of private visits,
• after receiving a referral from a clinic within the health care system (vårdval psykoterapi).

The therapeutic process is tailored to the individual needs and goals of the person seeking help. It involves jointly formulating the problem, setting therapy goals, and selecting CBT-specific tools, such as working on automatic thoughts, exposure to anxiety-provoking situations, or training new coping skills.

For Whom

Gustafsson Psykolog primarily serves individuals with mild to moderate mood and anxiety disorders, such as:

• depression,
• anxiety disorders,
• obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD/tvangssyndrom),
• stress and overload issues.

The practice is aimed at adolescents aged 16 and over and adults who need support in coping with emotional, psychological, or daily functioning difficulties.

Approach to Work

Psychological work is based on a partnership relationship with the client, respect for privacy, and principles of confidentiality. In CBT therapy, particular emphasis is placed on:

• clearly defining the problem,
• jointly establishing realistic goals,
• actively engaging the client between sessions (e.g., homework),
• monitoring progress and adjusting the treatment plan as needed.

The goal of the work is to reduce the severity of symptoms, increase the sense of control over one’s life, and develop lasting coping strategies for the future.

Collaboration with the Health Care System

Gustafsson Psykolog operates as a private entity that also provides services on behalf of the Skåne region, allowing some clients to access therapy within the public health care system. This model combines the availability of private visits with the possibility of treatment funded by the insurance system, increasing access to psychotherapy for individuals with mild to moderate mental health issues.
