Affordable therapy — sessions with skilled psychology students
At EGOLAB, you can have a course of sessions with a skilled psychology student or a psychotherapist in training — under close supervision by an experienced psychologist, and at a significantly reduced rate. A good choice if you want to work on your challenges but money would otherwise get in the way.

How a course of sessions with a student works
EGOLAB continuously trains a small team of skilled psychology students and psychotherapists in training to work therapeutically. They are selected for their professional skill and commitment, and they work with the same methods and the same care as our experienced psychologists.
Every course of sessions is covered by close supervision: the student regularly reviews their work with an experienced psychologist from EGOLAB. That is your quality assurance — and in practice it means that there are often two professionals thinking along with you on your course of sessions.
The price is significantly reduced compared with a course of sessions with a fully qualified psychologist. You will find the current price in the price list (in Danish), and you are always welcome to contact us if you are unsure what would suit you best.
Good to know before you start
A course of sessions with a student differs from one with an experienced psychologist on a few points. Here is what matters most.
The pace may be a little slower
A student has fewer hours of experience than a licensed psychologist, so your course of sessions may move forward at a calmer pace. In return, you will find great thoroughness, careful preparation and a high level of commitment.
Close supervision by an experienced psychologist
The student receives ongoing supervision from an experienced psychologist. Supervision is a fixed part of the course of sessions and ensures that the treatment maintains a high professional standard.
Intake at the start of each semester
The students usually take on new clients at the beginning of each semester. There may therefore be a short wait — contact us and we will let you know when places next become available.
Breaks follow the academic year
The students' breaks follow the academic year — for example exam periods, the summer holidays and Christmas. Breaks are known well in advance, so the two of you can plan them into the course of sessions together.
Important to know about subsidies
Sessions with students are not eligible for subsidies. You cannot use a referral from your GP — the subsidy from the public health insurance scheme does not apply — and Sygeforsikringen Danmark does not subsidise sessions with students and psychotherapists in training either. The saving lies instead in the reduced rate, which you will find in the price list (in Danish).
Is a course of sessions with a student right for you?
It is typically a good fit if your challenges are well defined — for example stress, low mood, mild anxiety, low self-worth or difficult choices — and you are motivated to work on them over a series of sessions. If you need a subsidy via a GP referral or Sygeforsikringen Danmark, or if your situation is more complex, we recommend a course of sessions with one of our experienced psychologists instead — see our treatments.
