Methods and training

My name is Lene Mordal, and I am a Norwegian counselor living in Prague. I am passionate about facilitating processes for my clients to live safe and content lives, where you get the most out of your unique skills, potential and circimstance.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and Social Science from the University of Trondheim, and studied Master of Peace and Conflict at the University of Oslo. I have continuing education in Domestic Violence and a licence in Cognitive Therapy. I have worked with anger management with ART (Aggression Replacement Training) and the Brøseth Model. I also have training as a de-radicalization Mentor. I have over 20 years experience with counseling in family, youth and prevention work, youth social empowerment groups, and women’s groups in both institutions and organizations.

I have experience in both formal and informal processes with change, and I find that utilizing elements from different methods often benefits the processes.

With individual consultations, you get to give attention to your specific situation and the issues you are dealing with. The methods will be tailored to target your concerns and for you to reach your goals

In groups, the participants experience recognition, understanding and community, which in itself is beneficial for any processes for change. The participants will most often learn the most from the ideas and reflections of the other participants. It is often a educational, safe, and even FUN way to gain insight and postive change.

Behind every counselor, there needs to be a support and advisory system. Behind Core, I have an experienced Board of advisors. My team is an important part of the quality when you receive a service from Core. You can read more about my support team further down on this page.

Communication strategies, conflict resolution strategies, self-awareness, mild exposure, community engagement, parental communication, self-worth, self-conscience and self-esteem, anger management and general support for you to reach your goals.

When can I use a counselor who is not a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist?

We all have challenges and battles during the course of life. Most of the issues we encounter are not clinical, and even if they are, there are many different strategies that can have a significant positive impact. Just as exercise and eating habits have a great impact, there are many strategies that can change your life for the better. Waiting times for psychologist and psychiatrists may be long, and your counseling needs may be met by other methods than what health practitioners offer.

You should always consult your GP about your health issues, especially if you suffer from mental illnesses.
