In this in-depth video you will learn more about my approach, my way of working and my personal journey as a psychologist. Watch the video to get a deeper insight into my practice.

Hi, I am Nina Uffelmann, a german psychologist living in Denmark together with my family. Whenever I'm not in a session with a client or listening or reading about psychology, I'm probably looking for waves at the danish coast, or somewhere else in the world, because I love surfing. Besides my passion for surfing, I enjoy the simple moments of the day - whether it's the taste of a green tea, the smell of the dunes in the early summer morning, the feeling of my children's little tight hugs, or the warm burning on my skin after dipping in the cold ocean. These enjoyable mindful moments make my travels and everyday life special for me.

By being self-emploayed and working both online and in denmark, I was able to fulfil my dream of integrating surfing into my everyday life. As a psychologist with a profound degree and an in-depth training in Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), among others, I offer an individually adapted support. My goal is to help people find presence, self-efficacy and satisfaction in a technology- and growth-driven world.

My way of working

In my psychological counselling, I only use techniques that have been scientifically proven to be effective. These include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and person-centered approach. Using methods from person-centered approach, I look at your needs, among other things. Behaviorally, we take a close look at your actions, when you show them and what influence they have on your life.

ACT represents an important element of my work. On the one hand, ACT is about learning to accept things that are not within your own sphere of influence, to be open and present, and at the same time to shape your own life in an active and value-driven way. For this purpose I teach you techniques for implementation. I am also constantly undergoing further training and supervision. You can learn more about my way of working here.

Why becoming a psychologist?

To decide on a course of study, I tried to put myself in my 70-year-old self's place - what did I want to have stood for and continue to stand for? At the heart of it was one thing: I wanted to have an overall positive impact on my environment with what I was doing for work. I considered getting involved in environmental or human rights topics, or psychology. Working as a psychologist promised to make the positive contribution I was hoping for, and I had great interest in the subject. In addition, mutual appreciation seemed to play a big role in everyday work here, which was important to me.

Today, what I love about my profession is that I gain more experience over the years without having to spin faster and faster within my client work. That I can offer a quiet space to the people I meet in my work. That I may enter into a very special connection with these people. My work fills me with satisfaction in my everyday life and gives me meaning and direction in my life. I am very grateful to all my past and future clients for their trust and courage to look and work on themselves when needed.

By the way, I haven't completely forgotten about environmental and human rights issues. Since 2020, I have been supporting Ekō with a small monthly contribution, and would like to expand this as my online practice grows.

If you would like to get to know me in video format, you can also watch this documentation, where I could take part. It's more about surfing in the northern hemispheres than psychology, but nevertheless, you may get a better feel for whether or not you like me as a person and potential companion.
