English-speaking psychologist
Therapy in a language you do not think in is harder than it sounds. The work happens in the detail — the precise words for shame, anger or grief — which is why internationals living in Denmark, and Danes whose everyday language is English, often look for a psychologist they can speak English with. This page lists the psychologists on FindPsyk who have stated English as one of their languages. Many of them trained or practised abroad and are used to the themes that come with a life between two countries: culture shock, homesickness, loneliness, identity and relationships across languages. The rules are the same as for any other psychological help in Denmark: with a referral from your GP and a psychologist who holds a ydernummer, you get the subsidy whatever language the sessions are in. If you live outside the big cities, online sessions widen the choice considerably.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a psychologist who speaks English?
This page lists the psychologists on FindPsyk who have stated English as one of their languages. In the search you can narrow further by city, specialty and waiting time.
Can I get the subsidy for therapy in English?
Yes. The subsidy depends on the referral and on the psychologist's ydernummer, not on the language. With a GP referral and a psychologist who holds one, you get the subsidy as normal.
Are there English-speaking psychologists outside the big cities?
The choice is widest in Copenhagen and Aarhus, but many psychologists offer online sessions, so you can choose freely across the country.
