Sidrah Mukhtar

Background and Education

I am a clinical psychologist with a professional degree from the University of Oslo. I have several years of experience in mental health care from the specialist health service DPS with adults and BUP (child and adolescent psychiatry) with children and families. I also have education in affect awareness, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and manual evidence-based treatment for mental disorders such as anxiety and depression. I have extensive expertise in the assessment and treatment of mental disorders. In addition, I have experience from PPT (educational psychological service) and child welfare.

In the Therapy Room

I am dedicated to providing effective treatment that results in symptom relief. It is also important for me to build a strong relationship, listen to your needs, and create a safe space to share difficult issues. I bring a unique cultural understanding to therapy. I can offer therapy in Urdu/Punjabi, as well as Norwegian, Swedish, and English.

Method

I have specialized expertise in cognitive therapy, but primarily use an eclectic approach, tailoring therapy to individual needs. I focus on listening to your needs and providing concrete methods and tools that can help in daily life.
