Ingrid-Maria Nordgren, MA, MBACP
About me
My approach to psychotherapy is Integrative. My professional focus and interest is related to Embodiment, the importance of the relationship between Body and Mind.
Having worked as a Rosen Method Somatic Practitioner for many years I bring this experience into the psychotherapy session by paying specific attention to subtle changes in the breath, physical sensations, and the feelings of the clients as a way of integrating awareness and delving deeper into the body mind, inviting more of unconscious thoughts and feelings to surface during the session time.
I work both in person or by Zoom or a combination of both on times and days which are workable for both of us. The time we set aside for sessions may vary from week to week. For therapy to be effective I aim to provide/nurture an environment of trust and rapport to explore the inner life of feelings/relationship/issues. Right now during Covid-19 I am only available online.
The service offered is confidential, and to start we would set up an initial interview to discuss what you wanted to explore and hopefully achieve from undertaking psychotherapy. If you felt comfortable and ready to start we would then schedule 6 sessions followed by a review to explore if we felt that the work was purposeful and in line with your expectations. I also offer singular sessions for those clients who wish to explore a specific topic, with possible follow up ad hoc appointments.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
