On a less urgent level, if you would like to contact a psychotherapist or counsellor, these are available privately. Most will have specialities – family, marriage, group, children and young people – and differences in their approach. You should ensure they are ‘legitimerad psykoterapeut’ which means they have been university trained on an accredited course, and that they have fulfilled certain requirements while practising.
Your family doctor can be a good place to start, each Vårcentral usually has a couple of counsellors on the team who will be able to advise you where to turn.
By far the best way to find a psychotherapist is through personal recommendation because there are a number of different organisations therapists can be affiliated with. Some are more credible than others and it can be complex to find out which.
It is also possible to search for counsellors on a couple of sites on-line (most are all in Swedish but the search is relatively simple):
If you don't find any of these sites useful you might find more information going through this link list of institutes and associations.
Your local municipality
Each kommun offers services which can be found by searching on familjerådgivning (family counselling). There speciallty is in the area of couple therapy and the waiting lists can be long but the fee is nominal (around 200kr per visit).
The Swedish Church
Svenska Kyrkan offers counselling services in a range of areas. Contact your local church for more information.
In the big cities, it should be possible to find specialists who will be able to speak your native language (possibly even as a mother tongue) but this will be more of an issue in more rural areas.
Expect to pay between 500 and a 1000kr per session although this will vary. Discounts may sometimes be available for students.
