About
My name is Christian Valla. With 15 years of experience with psychotherapy,
hypnotherapy and Mindfulness, my focus is on providing you with effective solutions for relieving stress and anxiety. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, combining hypnotherapy, self-hypnosis and deep relaxation exercises. When appropriate, I blend hypnotherapy with Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and breathing techniques. Furthermore, I incorporate hypnotherapy and visualization techniques to foster increased confidence.
​
Originally from Norway, I have lived 12 years in Denmark and 14 years in the US. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in Norway and Denmark, and a certified clinical hypnotherapist in the US. I hold the highly regarded European Society of Hypnosis Certificate (ESHC). I got my hypnotherapy training in the US from the Hypnotherapy Training Institute (trained by Randal Churchill), approved by the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (A.C.H.E.). I am also a Mindfulness teacher trained in MBSR by Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli.
I have worked at several esteemed private clinics and Hospitals in Norway and Denmark and in the US. I have certificates in Jungian Psychology, Integrative Psychotherapy, EMDR (Level 1 and 2), Somatic Experience, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Stephen Hayes), and several other certificates.
