Therapy in English in Copenhagen: Why it Matters More Than You Think

Most internationals can get through daily life in Danish: ordering food, emailing the kommune, talking to daycare.
But therapy? Different universe.
Your Emotional Self Speaks English
When you talk about complex things like grief, frustration, shame, anxiety, you automatically drop into your native language.
That’s why therapy in English feels easier, faster, and more honest.
What Therapy in English Looks Like
It’s still structured, evidence-based, and grounded.
But you get to:
express yourself naturally
use humor the way you usually do
share stories without translating
describe feelings with the right words
talk about culture shock with someone who gets it
explore identity without language barriers
Why Internationals Often Feel “Off” Emotionally
Living abroad disrupts everything:
routines
community
identity
confidence
sense of belonging
family support
predictability
Therapy helps you rebuild your internal grounding so life stops feeling like a never-ending adjustment.
Who Therapy in English Helps
overwhelmed parents
internationals without a support system
people struggling with anxiety or OCD
couples navigating cross-cultural relationships
people who feel lonely despite being “fine” on paper
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit.
