About Viva
Certified Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and Group Facilitator
As a psychotherapist, I believe true transformation arises when you rediscover your own inner compass to navigate life's journey. My deepest commitment is to guide members within my MindRelations Daily and Personal Compass program towards lasting change, offering dedicated support because I prioritize those who have chosen to invest in their well-being through this community.

My Values
My aim with MindRelations and "Be Your Own Best Therapist" is to provide You with tools to perform much of the work that a therapist would traditionally facilitate. By learning to ask the right questions and deeply reflect on your own life, you can achieve increased self-understanding and personal growth. This approach promotes self-help and empowerment, enabling you and the people in your life to navigate life's challenges with greater insight and confidence.
Working as a psychotherapist energizes me deeply. I have so much to offer people who want to feel better, live more meaningfully, and reach that place inside themselves where life feels good—where they truly care about themselves and the people around them. It fills my heart every time one of my clients arrives at that place. When they do, I feel joy for them—and with them. It drives me to keep helping others find and hold onto what matters most to them.
My Background
I was born and raised in Denmark, where I lived until I was 25. I’m married to an Irishman, Sean.
We’ve been together for 33 years. I originally came to Ireland for what was meant to be a short four-month stay—but then I met Sean, fell in love, and the rest is history.
We have four wonderful children—one son and three daughters—now 26, 24, 21, and 16 years.
They mean the world to us and fill our lives with joy, challenge, and purpose. ❤️
I love being around people, both in my personal and professional life. I never tire of listening to people’s life stories—what shapes them, what they struggle with, and what they hope for.
I often find that what someone sees as a flaw is actually a strength—something they developed to get through tough situations. When we look at it together, there’s often a moment of realization: “Oh… now I see why I do that. It makes so much sense.” That kind of shift is powerful. It brings clarity, compassion, and relief, a sense of a large burden has been lifted from their shoulders.
When I can help someone make sense of their life and relationships—and they begin to feel more whole and at peace—that’s when I feel most aligned with why I do this work.
It is on this basis I have developed MindRelations Daily and Personal Compasses.
