English-speaking therapists in Sweden

Swedish for lagom. English for everything else.

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

Sweden runs comfortably in English, which is why so many people who live here have never needed to be sad in Swedish.

Stockholm's old town across the water — English-speaking therapy for Sweden

Why therapy in English

The feelings that predate your Swedish

Sweden is one of the easiest countries to live in on English alone, and a lot of people do for years. But the difficult material — grief, shame, a bad patch that won't lift — usually predates the Swedish, and translating it in real time is work you shouldn't have to do while also crying.

In English you can be imprecise and human about it. Online, you choose from everyone working in English rather than the short list of English-speaking practices locally, and meet from home.

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 remiss

Choose your therapist, pick a time in your own zone, meet by video from home. No referral, no Swedish 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're afraid of what you might do, please don't wait for an appointment. Emergency services answer at any hour, free of charge, and in English.

Common questions

Do I need a referral?

No. You arrange the session directly with the therapist. There is no remiss and nothing goes through the vårdcentral.

Do I need to speak Swedish?

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

I've been on a waiting list for months. 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 Sweden. 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.
