About Ingrid-Maria
Ingrid-Maria Nordgren is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and codependency, among other concerns. She speaks English and Swedish and uses a relational approach that pays attention to feelings as they arise.
She helps people reflect on life events and on how emotions and physical sensations shape behaviour. Sessions often look at how past experiences affect current relationships and choices. The aim is to notice recurring patterns - for example people-pleasing or trouble setting boundaries - and to try out different ways of responding.
Ingrid-Maria listens for non-verbal signals such as breath and posture as well as what is spoken. She brings together different methods, including bodywork ideas from Rosen Method practice, with talking therapy. Working this way can make it easier to name feelings and to connect them with everyday reactions.
Her style is collaborative - the client and counsellor work as partners. She uses reflection and gentle challenge to help uncover stuck patterns and to expand options for making changes. Humour may be used alongside serious enquiry when it fits the moment.
She has run a private practice for many years and also teaches Rosen Method bodywork. People who want to understand how their history, body and emotions link together often come to explore these connections with her.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Her practice combines relational talking therapy with body-aware methods, and these elements can be adapted to remote sessions. Relational therapy focuses on the here-and-now of the therapeutic relationship and how patterns repeat in connections with others; it helps people notice repeating behaviour in relationships and try different responses. Rosen Method bodywork pays attention to breath, posture and non-verbal signals to help link sensations with emotions, and in online sessions this can mean guided attention to breathing and mindful noticing of bodily reactions as they arise.Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful, try things out together and adjust methods according to the client's needs, goals and preferences. Clients are involved in choosing whether to emphasise talking, somatic noticing, or a mix of both.
Practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins easier to schedule, while others use longer sessions for deeper reflection. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered and how to arrange appointments that fit your routine.
