Stine Hendler 4th year psychotherapy student

I am a passionate people leader and psychotherapy student. I am currently studying to become an existential psychotherapist alongside my management job. My goal is to better help individuals and communities experience meaning and joy.

In my career, I have experienced how deep, equal and open conversations about what is most important to us can create more fundamental change than anything else - both in business and personal life.

I have two children and am in a multicultural relationship. I am particularly familiar with ADD, ADHD, special sensitivity and Asperger's. I have lived in China, Germany, and England.

You're a psychotherapy student - what does it mean to me?

Important information

  • As part of my training as a psychotherapy student, I receive professional supervision. The supervision is based on video recordings of conversations. Out of 5 client conversations of 50 minutes, I find about 25 minutes of edited video material to discuss specific sequences with my trainer. My trainer has a duty of confidentiality. This means that the video material is for my own learning use so I can see where I can do better and to get feedback when I am in doubt about how I can best help you.

  • I video record our conversation on my cell phone, which is discreetly placed next to the wall. I have a small microphone on my clothes so I can hear myself clearly on the video. You choose whether you want a microphone on your clothes.

  • I store the confdential recording securely in a Microsoft One Drive solution, encrypted and secured by my workplace. I delete the recording no later than 3 months after our conversation (GDPR), when I have finished analyzing what I can learn about the way I conduct therapy from our conversation.

    If you do not want me to share with my trainer after the conversation, just let me know. Please also let me know if you would like to see which sequence I choose to show to my teacher. My written data processing will not contain your name or any other information that could lead to you and will be about my efforts, not yours. I will similarly delete your information from my booking system. Any feedback from you will be anonymized and stored in my learning log.

    For changes to the above, I ask for your written consent.

  • Having passed my 3rd year exams as a psychotherapy student, my teachers have assessed that I am ready for conversations with clients who are not fellow students and that I will be of great benefit to my clients. I have 3 years of experience practicing as a therapist and have received supervision (feedback). I also have interview experience from my career as a manager and agile coach. You may find that I will ask more about how you want us to spend our time together and what you feel comfortable with.

    As I receive supervision (feedback) on selected parts of the video material, I have the opportunity to get feedback from my trainers when I am in doubt about how to help you best. This will benefit you.

  • You help me as a psychotherapy student to finish my studies while you have the opportunity to be with some important topics in your life with a trained therapist at a student price.

    I have a duty of confidentiality and follow the Danish Psychotherapist Association's ethical rules.

    I do not have a CVR number.

  • Write to me at stine@hendler.dk and we'll figure it out together. It must be good to be you when you are with me. I have some suggestions for you on where we can do something other than what is written above.
