Hi, I’m Erika Nissa, founder of Embracing Life Counselling. I’m a trauma-informed counsellor, coach, and relationship therapist with a background in law. More importantly, I understand what it’s like to navigate grief, trauma, cultural displacement, life transitions, and the heavy weight of holding everything together for others.

These experiences shape the way I approach counselling—with empathy, clarity, and respect. Clients often share that they feel seen and safe in our sessions. That’s not because I have all the answers, but because I create a space where you can be truly heard—without judgment—and supported with compassion and honesty.

Since 2020, I’ve had the privilege of providing therapy and counselling for individuals, couples, and groups in Norway and internationally—working with Norwegians, immigrants, refugees, NGO leaders, and global professionals. My work also includes facilitating workshops, coaching, and offering trauma-informed care to survivors of war, displacement, and exploitation.

Whether you’re a professional under pressure, a caregiver running on empty, a partner in pain, or someone longing to reconnect with your emotions, Embracing Life Counselling offers a supportive space to rebuild, heal, and thrive through compassionate therapy.
