Psychologist in Aarhus

First session free of charge

For a limited time, I offer a free, no-obligation first session. We can talk about what you would like help with, and you can get a sense of whether I am the right psychologist for you and your situation.

Free for new clients

The offer is available to all new clients for a limited time.

No obligation

You decide whether you would like to continue after the first session.

Not sure?

You may be unsure whether what you are going through is something to speak to a psychologist about - or whether I am the right fit for you.

MY APPROACH

Therapy with clarity and direction

Psychologist Patrick Batiste during a therapy session in the clinic

You don’t need to know exactly what to call the problem before seeking help. Challenges don’t always fit neatly into a single category. That’s why I start with you and your situation - and the change you would like to make.

Therapy tailored to you

Together, we continuously consider what is most important to work on. The pace, focus and methods of our sessions are tailored specifically to you.

From understanding to change

We explore both what lies behind your difficulties and what keeps you stuck today. With that understanding as our starting point, we identify concrete steps you can take towards greater clarity and well-being.

THEMES IN THERAPY

Areas I often work with

I offer therapy for mental disorders and other difficulties that can affect daily life, relationships and quality of life. Below are some of the areas I often work with - always with your situation as the starting point.

  • You can keep everyday life running and still be under too much pressure. Some people get used to keeping the pace up, skipping breaks, and only react when body or mind finally pushes back. What you can manage is not always the same as what is sustainable.

    COMMON EXPERIENCES:
    • Difficulty switching off

    • Sleep problems
    • Fear of making mistakes
    • Racing thoughts and restlessness

    • Pressure to meet others' expectations

  • When you feel low or are going through a difficult period, it often becomes harder to do the things that normally give you energy. You may withdraw more and get less out of what you still do. Sometimes life can hurt, stall or make it difficult to find your footing.

    COMMON EXPERIENCES:
    • Hopelessness and self-criticism

    • Diminished excitement
    • Lack of meaning

    • Feeling stuck

    • Rumination

  • It's never quite good enough. There is always something that should be different: appearance, achievements, dating life or how you relate to others. Even when things go well, satisfaction can be short-lived – and yesterday’s achievement becomes today’s bare minimum. Results and other people’s opinions take over, leaving you with the expectations and criticism.

    COMMON EXPERIENCES:
    • Dissatisfaction with yourself

    • Need for validation

    • Comparing yourself with others

    • Self-criticism as motivation

    • People-pleasing

  • Anxiety is a basic part of the system that helps us detect and deal with danger. Problems arise when the alarm response is triggered repeatedly in situations where the threat is uncertain or exaggerated. Worry and preparation can create a sense of control, but can also reinforce the feeling that you cannot cope without them.

    COMMON EXPERIENCES
    • Overthinking

    • Avoidance
    • Need for control

    • Physical unease

    • Social self-consciousness

  • It can be frustrating to know exactly what you want to do and still struggle to get started or keep going. The problem is not necessarily a lack of willpower. For many, the difficulty lies in turning intention into action – especially when a task feels overwhelming, boring, distant or unrewarding.

    COMMON EXPERIENCES:
    • Difficulty getting started
    • Procrastination

    • Feeling stuck

    • Fluctuating motivation

    • Choosing the easy over the important

  • Difficulties in relationships are not always only about the person in front of you. The way we seek closeness, respond to uncertainty and protect ourselves from rejection can create patterns that repeat across relationships. Sometimes our attempts to avoid being hurt end up getting in the way of the closeness we want.

    COMMON EXPERIENCES:
    • Unclear or one-sided relationships

    • Arguments

    • Repeating relationship patterns

    • Desperation or withdrawal

    • Feelings of emptiness

ABOUT ME

A psychologist with depth and presence

In my work, I am particularly interested in understanding what lies behind the difficulties that begin to take up too much space in everyday life - and what can help create movement and change.

Portrait of authorized psychologist Patrick Batiste

I have particular experience with anxiety, stress and depression, as well as difficulties related to ADHD and motivation. I also work with more complex and less clear-cut difficulties, where several factors interact.

​

When we talk, you can expect me not only to listen, but also to take an active role with questions, perspectives and observations along the way. In my sessions, I value a relaxed and informal atmosphere - without compromising on professionalism.

Confidentiality

As a psychologist, I am legally bound by professional confidentiality. Your inquiry and what we discuss are treated confidentially.

No referral needed

You are welcome to book without a referral from your doctor. I do not have a provider number, so a referral from your GP cannot be used for public reimbursement with me. However, reimbursement through private health insurance is often possible.

Cancellation policy

You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before your appointment. Cancellations can be made through the booking system or by email. Late cancellations are charged DKK 450, while missed appointments without cancellation are charged at full price.

Reimbursement from "danmark"

If you are a member of Sygeforsikringen “danmark”, you may be eligible for reimbursement depending on the reason you are seeking help. I submit consultations electronically to “danmark”.

You can find answers to common questions about therapy, prices, reimbursement, cancellations and other practical matters in my FAQ.
