Velcome
my name is Jessie Egedal
For more than 16 years, I have worked with people during life’s most vulnerable transitions first as a life coach and later as a grief counsellor as well as a fertility and stress coach. Today, I work as a therapist with a particular focus on those moments when life changes direction through loss, illness, crisis, infertility, and identity disruption. I have accompanied people when emotions feel overwhelming and when life feels raw and unmanageable.
My professional foundation is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach rooted in attachment theory and emotional regulation. In therapy, I work both with the emotions that are clearly present in the here and now, such as grief, anxiety, shame, and anger and with deeper emotional needs and patterns that often have their roots early in life.
My approach is shaped by my own lived experience. I have personally experienced severe stress, significant losses, and a prolonged fertility journey marked by hope, grief, and longing. This has given me a embodied and deeply human understanding of how old wounds can create unrest and stuckness later in life, and how crucial a safe space is for change.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a volunteer therapist at Frivilligcenteret Humlebæk and as a support person for families involved in child placement cases. The common thread in my work is a desire to create a safe, present, and compassionate space where people can sense, understand, and work with their emotions when life is difficult to navigate.

What is Emotion Focused Therapy?
Many of us have learned to push our feelings aside in order to function in daily life, which can later in life create inner conflicts, rigidity, or problems in relationships.
In emotion-focused therapy, we therefore explore not only the feeling you describe, but the actual experience of it.
We distinguish between the feelings you first sense—such as irritation, restlessness, or resignation - and the deeper core emotions that reveal something about your needs and longings. By approaching these feelings with care and openness, greater clarity, relief, and emotional movement can emerge.
As an Emotion Focused Psychotherapist, I work from an experiential approach, where emotions are seen as an inner compass.
Therapy with me is for you if you...
Carries old wounds or childhood experiences that call for being met with care and clarity.
Have tried “everything possible” to feel better, but still lack real relief and emotional freedom.
Longing for deeper, more secure relationships – both with yourself and with the people who matter to you.
Want support in understanding what lies behind your reactions so you can create change that lasts.
Looking for a present space where you can work on the difficult without being alone with it. Feel like you're stuck - in your life, your health, your relationships, or in your own inner process.

Learn to navigate emotionally
in life's important relationships
When old coping strategies from childhood take hold in adulthood
So it can be expressed by:
-
You take on too much responsibility in relationships and quickly lose yourself in the needs of others.
-
You avoid conflicts or withdraw emotionally to maintain calm and control
-
You become hypersensitive to moods and easily feel wrong or inadequate.
-
It is difficult to feel your own needs and set clear boundaries
-
You react strongly to small triggers because the body remembers old emotional patterns before the thoughts do
Do you find it difficult to enter into relationships?
If so, it is due to too many old coping strategies from childhood that still govern reactions and needs in adulthood. This can manifest as over-responsibility, fear of conflict, insecurity, strong emotional triggers or challenges with feeling one's own boundaries. In EFT, these patterns are understood as emotional reactions that were once essential to life, but which today can limit presence and flexibility in relationships.
In therapy with me, the work is not about eliminating these feelings, but about recognizing and understanding the old patterns, so that you gradually gain access to more safe and balanced ways of entering into relationships. Thus, you will:
-
become more aware of your own reactions in relationships
-
find it easier to feel your needs more clearly and to be able to stand by them without a guilty conscience
-
gain more peace of mind, less over-responsibility and fewer emotional triggers
-
a greater awareness of setting boundaries in a way that feels natural
-
experience more presence, security and genuine contact in your relationships
