English-speaking therapists in Norway

Your Norwegian is fine at work. This isn't work.

Therapy in English, online, wherever in Norway you live. No referral, no waiting list.

Norway is easy to work in without deep Norwegian — until the conversation turns to something that your working vocabulary was never built for.

Why therapy in English

Norwegian for the office isn't Norwegian for the dark

Plenty of people work in Norway in English, or in functional Norwegian that covers meetings and shopping but not much underneath. The long dark winters have a way of surfacing things, and those things rarely wait politely for your second language to catch up.

Therapy in English lets you say them as they are. Online, you choose from everyone working in English and meet from home — which matters more here than most places, where the nearest in-person option can be a fjord away.

What we work with

What brings people here

  • Loneliness and isolation

    When your social life is made entirely of colleagues, and everyone who knew you before is in another time zone.

  • Anxiety and chronic stress

    Visas, contracts, rent, the low hum of living somewhere you could be asked to leave.

  • Depression and flatness

    Especially the kind that is hard to name, because on paper the move worked.

  • Identity and belonging

    Caught between where you're from and where you live, between who you were and whoever this is now.

  • Relationships and family

    Including the strain of having moved together — or of having moved without them.

  • Homesickness and grief

    For people, for a former life, for the version of yourself that existed before you left.

This is not a complete list. If you're struggling with something that isn't here, get in touch anyway. Therapy begins with you, not with a category — and it doesn't require you to have found the right word for it first.

How it works

Three steps, no henvisning

Choose your therapist, pick a time in your own zone, meet by video from home. No referral, no Norwegian required.

About Wefeel

What Wefeel is — and what it isn't

Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.

We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.

Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.

If you need help right now

Wefeel is not a crisis service

If you are thinking about ending your life, or you are afraid of what you might do, please don't wait for an appointment. Emergency services answer at any hour, free of charge.

Common questions

Do I need a referral?

No. You arrange the session directly with the therapist. There is no henvisning to obtain first.

Do I need to speak Norwegian?

No — that is the point. Sessions are in English, and so is everything on this site.

I'm on a waiting list — can I use this while I wait?

Yes, and many people do. Nothing here replaces treatment you're already receiving, and nothing here obliges you to give up a place you've waited for.

My therapist isn't in Norway. Does that matter?

Sessions are online, so location matters less than fit. Each therapist's profile shows where they are qualified to practise. If it matters for your situation, ask them before you book — they will tell you.

Is it confidential?

Yes. What you say to your therapist stays between the two of you, subject to the same legal and professional limits that apply wherever your therapist practises.
