Rooted in Antipaxos,
Skinari Studio is a calm, reflective, hybrid space for meaningful change.
I support people who want to explore the connection between the mind, the body, and the nervous system, and how their inner experiences shape the way they relate to themselves and the world.
You may be experiencing stress in your day-to-day life, challenges with work–life balance, self-doubt, difficulty setting boundaries, getting caught in overthinking, or a sense of being stuck — feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your direction.
I often work with individuals navigating these experiences, while also supporting people in other areas of life.
Together, we explore what matters to you and how to move toward it with greater clarity and self-compassion.
I offer reduced-fee Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) sessions as part of my professional training, as well as coaching.
I am available in Stockholm, the Paxos area, and online. I work in Swedish and English.
You are welcome to reach out, even if a part of you feels unsure.
The foundations that shape my therapeutic work
ACT-informed therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based, third-wave cognitive behavioural therapy that offers a grounded way of meeting life as it is. Rather than trying to remove difficult thoughts or emotions, the work focuses on creating space for inner experience and relating to it with greater presence, openness, and care.
Mindfulness
Our minds naturally wander — to the past, the future, or ideas of who we think we should be. This is part of being human, yet it often pulls us away from what is happening right now.
Mindfulness is the practice of meeting experience as it is. By gently bringing attention to the present moment, we notice thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and our surroundings without judgment or the need to change anything.
When the mind wanders, noticing that it has drifted is the practice. Each moment of awareness is a return. Over time, this returning becomes more familiar — not because the mind stops wandering, but because our relationship to it softens.
Mindfulness is woven into my therapeutic work as a foundation for presence, clarity, and compassionate self-awareness.
Mind-body awareness
The body is part of every moment — through sensation, posture, breath, and movement. In therapy, gentle attention to the body can support grounding, presence, and clarity, without becoming a separate physical practice.
At times, we may use simple, experiential metaphors to support understanding or awareness. This might involve small movements, shifting position, or briefly standing — not as exercise or technique, but as a way of making an idea more tangible in the moment.
These experiences are always optional and guided with care. They are used to support insight, flexibility, and contact with the present, rather than to train the body or change it. The body becomes a reference point — a quiet way of noticing what is already happening.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
— Viktor E. Frankl
“I experienced Fredrika’s presence and commitment in our conversations. No words or thoughts were meaningless. Wise words, “homework,” and follow-up of the previous conversation. She gave great tips on online yoga and breathing exercises. I have increased self-worth now, I take care of myself, and she has given me helpful strategies to maintain my more present state. Thank you!”
Making space for life
What Support Looks Like
Support here is an invitation to slow down and turn toward your inner experience with curiosity and compassion. Rather than trying to fix or push things away, we focus on creating space for what is already present — thoughts, emotions, sensations — and learning how to relate to them differently.
Together, we explore what truly matters to you and how to take small, meaningful steps in that direction, even when life feels difficult. The work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and mind–body awareness, and is shaped around your unique experiences and needs.
This support may be helpful if you are living with stress, emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, or a sense of disconnection — or if you are seeking greater clarity, steadiness, and alignment in how you live your life. The aim is not to become someone else, but to make space for life as it is, and to live it with more presence, choice, and authenticity.
How I Support You
ACT-informed therapeutic sessions
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need to know where to start.
You’re invited to show up exactly as you are. From there, we slow things down, make space for what’s present, and gently explore what matters to you. Together, we work toward greater clarity, flexibility, and the ability to move through life with more presence and choice.
Grounded in ACT, mindfulness, and mind–body awareness.
Who This Support Is For
This space is for you if you want to:
Feel more grounded and less overwhelmed in everyday life
Develop a clearer understanding of your inner patterns
Gently work with old emotional wounds or stress responses
Build resilience and psychological flexibility
Deepen your connection with yourself
Live in a way that feels more meaningful, calm, and aligned
Move from surviving to more fully living
A Path Toward Your Most Authentic Self
This work is about making space for life as it is — your thoughts, emotions, and inner experiences — and learning how to meet them with presence rather than resistance. Through simple, effective, and science-informed practices, we cultivate clarity, connection, and the ability to choose how you move forward, even when life feels challenging.
I’m here to support you in making space for your experience and moving toward what matters most to you.
Therapy Sessions
I am currently completing formal training in psychotherapy to become an ACT therapist, and as part of this education I offer therapy sessions under supervision by licensed psychologists and psychotherapists until 2027.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy used within healthcare, public health, and and social services. The work focuses on psychological flexibility — the ability to meet what is difficult in life while moving in the direction of what matters to you. Sessions may include conversation as well as simple, practical exercises.
Sessions may address
Stress
Anxiety and worry
Low mood or depression
Fears and phobias
Self-esteem and self-confidence
Life choices, change, and direction
As well as other difficult thoughts, emotions, or life situations that you experience as challenging.
Sessions are individually tailored, and all ages are welcome.
To ensure professional neutrality, those who know me personally will be encouraged to book sessions with one of my fellow students rather than with me.
If you’re curious to learn more, you’re welcome to get in touch — or to share this information with someone who may find it helpful.

Sessions are offered under supervision
