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 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 mindful moments make my travels and everyday life special for me.

Through my self-employment and counselling services online and in Denmark, I was able to fulfil my dream of integrating surfing into my everyday life and combining it with psychology. As a psychologist with a profound degree and a specialisation in Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), among other things, I offer individually tailored support. My aim is to help people find presence, satisfaction and meaning in their lives and to do what matters to them.

My way of working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is at the centre of my psychological counselling. This modern development of cognitive behavioural therapy combines Western research with Eastern mindfulness traditions. ACT helps you to find a new way of dealing with difficult thoughts and feelings instead of letting them paralyse you.

The aim is to recognise obstructive patterns, gain more clarity about what is really important to you and actively shape your life in a value-led way. It's not just about letting go of old habits, but also finding the courage to try new things - even if they seem challenging.

With ACT, I teach you scientifically based methods to be more present in the here and now, to develop acceptance for the unchangeable, to enter into a better connection with yourself and at the same time to actively tackle the things that really matter to you. I keep my knowledge of ACT up to date through ongoing training and supervision in order to offer you the best possible support.

If you are longing to leave obstructive patterns behind and lead a life that is in line with your values, I will be happy to accompany you - clearly, sensitively and with the right mix of structure and flexibility. Here you can find out more about my way of working.

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.
