The Blog

This blog is inspired, partly by personal experience with being a mother and partner – and partly by many years of experience with counselling couples, families, teenagers and individuals. The topics are existential issues which most of us can relate to regardless of faith or cultural background and hopefully they will serve as inspiration on your journey.
