Welcome to Beroert.com by Stine B. Thirslund
My sessions and my work spring from a deeply rooted foundation with 3 strong roots: gestalt psychotherapy, sexology and body/trauma therapy. In their own way, they phenomenologically weave themselves into each other during the sessions and create harmony and meaning for the individual client depending on the theme, intention and focus.
Therapy - Body - Sexology
I am passionate about creating present relational frameworks, so that we as individuals can examine how in contact we become more authentic and present in our bodies, in life and in sex life.
Being met, witnessed and followed lovingly and uncritically by a present fellow human being in the present can create the framework for you to examine yourself in a new way.
Sessions like these often touch on our deepest longings and fears for presence and love in relationships, and go deep into our attachment. It has the potential to create change on fundamental relational levels in your relationship with yourself and others.
Practical Information
The address of my clinic is Algade 22, 2nd floor - the doorbell says Berørt. The door is open from street level, so you can just walk in and up. However, you are welcome to ring the bell, so I know you are coming up. Then I can meet you on the stairs when you arrive.
The whole 2nd floor is a therapeutic community from the 70s, where I thrive in my little “clinic cave”.
We meet on my heated large mattress on the floor and have a therapeutic conversation sitting across from each other on large yoga cushions about what is alive in you - maybe we drink some tea and land together. At some point, if it is your wish for the session, we create a kind of "bridge" to work more "hands-on" with body therapy to feel and sense the body and maybe with my hands on your body in just the way you wish and ask for in the moment. For some, clothes and blankets are preferred, and for others, they wish to be more undressed in underwear or less. It is entirely up to you and depends on the type of session you want.
My sessions look in many ways and everything is welcome with me. It cannot be thought, but is an experience-oriented approach which can then perhaps be understood and translated into bodily understanding, experience, and knowledge. We can talk more about this when we meet. No therapy is the same and I follow you where you are.
Algade is a pedestrian street and is only a 5-minute walk from Roskilde station. If you come by car, there is a parking garage at the beginning of Algade - by SuperBrugsen where there are many parking floors. The first 2 hours are free throughout the city. If you park in the basement of the parking house, it is free regardless of time. A good little tip - however, it is often occupied as others have also discovered this trick :-) so allow time for parking.
I don’t really have a waiting room - so please come 5 minutes before, but much more before that, you must wait on the stairs.
My therapy is a blend of my "4 legs" my therapy rests on. I have been a midwife for more than 20 years then I am a gestalt psychotherapist, body-/trauma therapist within "The Gaia Method" with soft dearmoring, and I have a master's in clinical sexology from Aalborg University.

I often have sessions of 2.5 hours. A session costs 2000 DKK.
I also have a package of 8 hours over 3 times for 5800 – that saves you 600 DKK.
Additionally, I offer psychotherapy and sexological counseling sessions of 1.5 hours for 1200 DKK.
I also offer couples therapy which can include conversations and exercises around intimacy, companionship, and sexuality. This costs 1400 DKK for 1.5 hours and then we tailor a program specifically for you, possibly with a package deal.

Payment:
Payment can be made via MobilePay or bank transfer, and for international transfers, I use Stripe. Payment is due upon arrival or within 8 days by bank transfer.
Communication
My preferred form of communication between sessions is through the app called Signal. It can be downloaded for free on the phone and has a white/blue speech bubble as its symbol. It is confidential and encrypted and is therefore therapy-GDPR approved - you can find me there at 51904411
Cancellation:
Cancellations must be made on Signal at least 24 hours before the scheduled time. Late cancellations are considered as no-shows and will incur a 50% cancellation fee, as I cannot fill the slot with another client on such short notice. The amount will be requested via MobilePay or email.
FAQ:
You cannot book online - as I strive to book in conversation with you to ensure that I am the right therapist and that your intention with my sessions is aligned.
There is often a one-month waiting period.
Logo
Life can, for various reasons, have conditions that make it difficult for us to put down strong roots, and yet we can grow and become strong and courageous and flexible in life, so that the crown can spread and life can unfold. We can repair ourselves so that our roots become healthy, and this is done through relational contact, attention and being met, seen and touched.
This is what my therapy is about.
I was inspired by crooked wind-blown trees along Denmark's coasts, which shape themselves according to their original position and maybe become a little crooked - but despite that - strong, healthy and completely their own. The tree has, despite being in strong winds, created its own balance.
