Camilla LyseAuthorised psychologist · Aarhus · Online
I'm Camilla, an authorised psychologist offering therapy in Aarhus, online and outdoors. I work mainly with young adults, expats, and people with minority backgrounds and identities. As a newly authorised psychologist, I offer sessions at a reduced rate. I work in both English and Danish. Text me anytime, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
About me
I completed my education in psychology at the University of Southern Denmark in 2026. I am happy to now focus on my psychotherapeutic practice, which I have been trained in and practising since the beginning of 2025.
I combine science-based theory with a deep personal curiosity about the ambivalences and ambiguities of human experience. While I draw on and have been trained in several therapeutic approaches, my work is deeply informed by trauma-oriented and existential theory. You can read more about it here.
Having grown up in several European countries, I know from the inside what it is to arrive somewhere new, to translate yourself, and to find your footing again. In my professional work I have focused on supporting and understanding minority and immigrant experiences. My clients have come from all around the world, including Germany, France, India and Russia.
Outside the therapy room I like making things with my hands, in wood, yarn and paper; slow, unfinished work is how I spend my free time. I have a background in the creative arts, in documentary film and sound design, and I am still fond of both. I am a big fan of sauntering too.
What I work with
You don't need to know what to call it before you get in touch. These are the areas I return to most often in my work — open one to read more.
Who am I, and where do I fit? Family and heritage, growing up between cultures, or finding your feet in a new country, where the rules are unspoken and the language isn't quite yours.
Worry that won't let go, thoughts that spin at night, or a body that is always on alert. We look at what keeps the circle going and at what could loosen its grip.
When the energy and joy have drained out of things, when life looks fine on paper but feels empty, or when you have lost the sense of why. Depression and questions of meaning often go hand in hand, and both deserve to be taken seriously, not just managed.
A harsh inner voice, constant comparison, or doubting whether you are good enough, at work, in relationships or simply as you are. We look at where that voice comes from and practise meeting yourself with more steadiness.
The slow wear of being different from the majority, as an LGBTQ+ person, as someone living between cultures, or both. A space where your gender, sexuality and background don't need to be explained or defended, and where we can work with what being a minority has cost you and what it has given you.
Support for adults with a diagnosis, or who suspect one: understanding yourself, finding strategies, and dealing with how the world responds. I don't carry out diagnostic assessments.
Losing someone, serious illness in the family, or being close to someone living with a mental illness or diagnosis. Your own reactions belong somewhere too.
Patterns that repeat, a relationship in crisis, dating that leaves you drained, or the quiet ache of loneliness. Including what is particular to LGBTQ+ relationships and to love across cultures and languages. Couples sessions are not offered yet; we work with your side of it.
Pressure to perform, doubts about the path you have chosen, procrastination, exam stress or burnout at work or university. We look at what drives the pressure, what you actually want, and how to work in a way that doesn't wear you down.
