About Kristina Hagstrom

“What you focus on will grow”
- The older I get the more amazed I am of the power of our mind… our thoughts, our focus and how it can shift a situation that seems to be stuck.
- Counselling and therapy to me, is a humanistic approach with the view that we all have the capacity to heal ourselves.
- I listen without judgment and we will look at alternative ways of problem solving.
- My role is to create a trustful working space to facilitate exploration, understanding and healing.
- It can also be helpful to understand the links between the body and our mind.

Psychosynthesis
- A therapeutic approach that focuses on personal growth and development.
- This method of therapy can be viewed as a transpersonal approach because it integrates many aspects of the human experience, including spiritual, emotional, cognitive, and physical aspects.
- Psychosynthesis can also be defined as a comprehensive approach to helping the individual to deal with dilemmas, conflicts and patterns of behaviours which inhibit or prevent living life in meaningful and fulfilling ways.
