Welcome
Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
My path into ACT therapy began long before I ever studied psychology. It started on a small island in the Ionian Sea, where my grandfather built Villa Skinari on Antipaxos in the early 1980s. Although I grew up in Sweden, I spent every summer on Paxos and Antipaxos with my Greek family — moving between two very different worlds: the structure and speed of modern Scandinavian life, and the slow, grounding rhythm of island villages and untouched nature.
Since 2017, I’ve been restoring Villa Skinari, piece by piece. It’s a demanding project; Antipaxos is remote, wild, and sometimes complicated to reach. But it’s worth every hour. Through this process, I’ve learned something essential: healing and change happen the same way — steadily, honestly, and with patience. We don’t rebuild by rushing. We rebuild by returning to what matters.
This contrast between fast and slow, pressure and presence, achievement and authenticity, has shaped my work deeply. Villa Skinari has become more than a home — it’s a symbol of the inner place we all carry, where clarity, values, and groundedness live. It’s the inspiration behind the support I offer today.
In my ACT therapy practice, my goal is to help you reconnect with that inner space. Together, we work to cultivate psychological flexibility, strengthen your connection to what truly matters, and guide you toward a life that feels more aligned, conscious, and real — even in the midst of challenge.
Welcome to a place where you can pause, breathe, and begin again. Let’s explore what’s possible, together.

“Frederika’s coaching has provided me with much-needed support and insights. I was amazed by how practical and helpful the sessions were while they were all online. She is a wonderful coach with great experience. Highly recommended. ”
“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!”
“Dear Fredrika, I just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful yoga practice session. Quite an unforgettable experience! We plan to return next summer, and I hope to find you again. Wishing you a smooth journey from here on. X ”
“Fredrika’s house is ideal for a quiet retreat with friends or family. The house is pleasantly isolated but just a few minutes from the best taverna in Antipaxos. The house has a charming simplicity, with a fabulous view, and direct access to a very nice and quiet cove. The amazing Voutoumi beach is just down the stairs. Truly unique!”
