Since coming back to the UK, Astrid has gained additional qualifications. She obtained her clinical doctorate at the University of Birmingham and her MSc in work psychology and business at Aston University.

Astrid has trained in various other therapeutic approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). She has experience of working with a wide range of clinical problems, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, and complex trauma. Astrid has a specialist interest in personality disorders, including BPD and DID, and other long term problems. She uses a variety of techniques to augment psychological therapy, including meditation, mindfulness and energy psychology approaches.
