“I found Lars at a point in my life where I felt like I had lost my mind. I had been suffering for 4 months with a compulsive thought; every time I thought of my partner, the name of my ex-girlfriend also came into my mind. This had become incessant, occurring upwards of 20-30 times a day, and was driving me crazy.

In a single session Lars helped me reduce this by 90%, by what I can only describe as normalising me. I went from feeling crazy to normal in about 1hr!

The following sessions I had with Lars were just fantastic and I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much Lars, I really appreciate your help.”

“At the beginning of 2017, I became a coordinator for quite a large group staff. I had always struggled with speaking in front of others, especially large groups and stepping into this position brought all of those fears to the surface.

I started looking for someone who could assist me with professional development and coming across Lars’ website gave me hope. I liked the holistic approach Lars appeared to have and after our initial over the phone appointment I knew this was the right place for me.

The most important part of my sessions with Lars and something I’ll always keep with me is the fact that Lars taught me that there was nothing actually wrong with me and that there was nothing wrong with the fears and feelings I experience. Instead he taught me how to take ownership of those feelings and turn them into something positive.

Throughout my time with Lars, I also experienced my first ever anxiety attack due to unrelated reasons and I am so thankful to have had Lars walk me through this period of my life and teach me the skills I needed to (hopefully) never have to experience that level of anxiety again.

I would highly recommend Lars to anyone looking to become better versions of themselves!”

“I got loads out of my sessions with you, and I think mainly because you made me think loads about what was going on in my life in a different way to what anyone else ever has done! You are straight-talking, and I admit that sometimes I would come away thinking ‘what on earth were you talking about?’, but over the course of a few days I would gradually start to see things in a different way!

I think that the most important thing that I got from it was that I am a person with my own needs and rights and I can’t spend my life trying to please others and be at their beck and call. I have finally found the courage to say no when I am not comfortable or don’t want to do something, and learning that skill has made such a big change in my life!

No doubt you will see me again in the future, and I do give your name to people a lot! In fact gave it to a friend only yesterday!!!

Thanks Lars”

“I found the sessions informative and productive. You explained everything well and would always listen to what I had to say. After having 4 visits with you my sleep has certainly improved.”

“The ‘Lars Experience’ is a unique one and, for my partner and I, has been a tremendously successful one. Surprisingly successful! My partner, John, and I are now moving forward, very much together and as a much healthier ‘together’.

Prior to having ‘found Lars’, we were swimming in circles, perpetuating behaviours and patterns which weren’t serving either of us and yet neither of us were able to unstick the stuck. We were stuck. I felt stuck.

Lars is a Swede with a deliciously dry wit and it was upon my initial call to ‘feel’ him out – something Lars encourages – I knew we’d found the right person. He’s direct, honest, qualified, fallible – he’s human. His approach is the antithesis of fluffy – it’s practical, concrete, tangible, personal, directly applicable and the results almost immediate. Lars doesn’t claim to have the answers yet arrives at and offers suggestions we then experimented with once we were ‘off the couch’ and through this, experienced subtle yet positively profound shifts in our relationship.

John and I committed to doing ‘the work’ – which it is!! –  outside the space and never saw ‘the Counsellor’ and his enviable herbal tea collection as a panacea for our relationship.

Lars strongly promotes the idea of ‘team’ as being integral to a healthy relationship. John and I weren’t working as a team and together we needed to learn how to behave as one. Lars helped to shed light – sometimes an unwelcome light – on my behaviours which offered a new perspective I’d never considered. Although at times confronting, I always felt safe, respected and free. Working with Lars is very ‘freeing’ and his healthy and welcomed directness helped John and I to be completely effective in the time we had. Our conversations would often wander but ultimately reached a positive resolution as we walked out the door. I recommend 2-hour sessions for partners. Although I’d often worry we’d not be able to fill it, we easily did. Lars never pushed us out the door when we’d find a new axe to grind or relationship issue to ponder, minutes prior to closing. He gets it.

Although relationships aren’t about rainbows, unicorns and pots of gold, a magical quality grounded in a reality has been returned to my relationship. Lars has been integral to what my partner and I are now experiencing of each other and as this is very much ‘a process’, we’ll continue to ‘check in’ with Lars over time. He’s very much a welcome member of our ‘team’. Three, in this case, is not a crowd.”

“My fiancé and I saw Lars for relationship/pre-marriage counselling. Lars is a fantastic counsellor. He communicates well and his longer session times really helped us to get to discuss the real issues. Lars has some great tools and tips for relationships that we have used to date.

I would highly recommend Lars to couples and individuals needing some support in their relationships/lives.

Thank you Lars!”
