Hej,

My name is Pola and I’m a fellow licensed psychologist living in Copenhagen.

I first moved to Denmark in 2020, right before the pandemic; and even though I wasn’t really fortunate with the time I made the decision to move, I feel very lucky to call Copenhagen one of my homes. 

Life as an immigrant turned out very different from what I expected.

Missing my family and friends took a long time to get used to, and for a long time I felt “neither here nor there”. While this in-between space can be confusing, it can also be a source of strength. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that the life of an immigrant is always, in some way, a life “in between.”

I remember that, shortly after moving to Denmark, I became very interested in other immigrants’ experiences and how they navigate their lives here.

Because of that - the need for community, and seeing visible mental health struggles immigrants need to deal with - in 2023, I launched Expats Mind Care Club - a mental care community for internationals.

For the last three years, I have been inviting you to join support groups, mental health workshops and social networking events - all that to show you that we are hardly ever alone in our struggles.

After obtaining my license and being recognized as a psychologist by Psykolognævnet, I joined The Little White House – a psychological center in Copenhagen with a strong focus on the international community.

This step allowed me to expand my practice and work with individual clients. As a psychologist, learning never really stops, so I continue to develop my skills and work under supervision. I am specifically interested in neurodivergence among adults (ADHD/autism) and working with stress and anxiety.

I feel very lucky to do this work. And since I believe that no one should face any struggles alone, I do hope that here you can find the support you need – whether through counselling with me or by joining one of the Expats Mind Care Club events.
