About me

At Melba Psychology you will meet me, Dugald Karlsson

I studied psychology at the university of Umeå & am registered in that profession with the swedish national board of health & welfare. I am also a trained psychotherapist & family therapist & am registered with the board in that profession.
I am further a trained supervisor & teacher in psychotherapy.

I have worked in adult and child psychiatry and with habilitation. I have
experience from there working with adults, adolescents, children, families, and groups. A trained psychologist has a long period of study behind them. These studies are centered on psychological development & functioning. A registered psychotherapist has gone a bit further & trained in psychotherapeutic theory & practice. This provides more understanding & methods in counselling to further effective & long-term change.

I am a member of the union of psychologists in Sweden & work in accordance with their rules on ethics & confidentiality.
I work also in accordance with the swedish board´s of health & welfare guidelines for maintenance of journals & work quality.

I was born & grew up on the east coast of Australia & have lived in Sweden for a very long time.
