Welcome

norm-critical Psychologist and couples therapist
Sophie Buch

I'm a trained psychologist, MSc in psych., from Aarhus University, where I found a great interest in developing online therapy, working with couples and going deeper into understanding attachment and relationship dynamics.

Since then I have become enormously fascinated with the tendency to people-please - i.e. putting other people's needs before our own, doing everything to avoid conflict, having difficulty setting boundaries and saying no. It has become a huge passion for me!

Over time, I have worked a lot with being exposed to psychological violence in close relationships. Knowledge is essential when you are in the middle of it, which is why I have started a podcast about the topic - it's called Freeze or Fawn, and you can find it on Spotify.

I'm norm-critical, feminist, and LGBTQ+ minded in both my work and private life. This means that I challenge norms, stereotypes, societal discourses, gender- and sexuality understandings. This also means that anyone is welcome with me, and you'll always be met as the holistic being you are.

I am the psychologist for you who:

tend to please others (perhaps you see yourself as a people-pleaser)
have experienced, are experiencing or are in doubt as to whether you are experiencing psychological violence
have experienced sexual violence – also digitally
struggle to find yourself and believe in yourself
experience overwhelming emotions
have difficulty setting boundaries, speaking up and demanding something from others
would like to understand yourself and your attachment pattern
struggle with harmful coping strategies such as eating disorders, overeating, self-harm or people-pleasing
have too high expectations of yourself and are a perfectionist
are stressed and burnt out
have problems in relationships with others
