English-speaking therapists in Stavanger

Therapy in English, in Stavanger

No henvisning, no waiting list, no doing this in Norwegian.

Stavanger is Norway's oil capital — full of international workers on contracts, living in English, far from home.

Stavanger's harbour — English-speaking therapy in Stavanger

Why it matters here

An oil town of international contracts

Stavanger's energy industry brought in a large international workforce, much of it here on contract, living in English, a long way from anyone who knew them before. That combination — demanding work, real isolation, an end date — is a familiar strain, and English-speaking care locally is limited. Online, you choose from everyone working in English and meet from home.

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.

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.

Isolation on a posting is worth naming

Being far from your people, on a contract, is a specific weight. It responds to being talked about.

Reading

Written by the therapists themselves

Articles about anxiety, sleep, grief, burnout and the rest of it — written by the people you can book a session with.
