Aarhus · founders · in English
You carry the team, the runway and the expectations. Who carries you?
If you build a company in Aarhus, you are probably used to having answers. Here is a place where you are allowed to have questions. This page explains in English how evening sessions with an authorised psychologist work.
This site describes sessions with the psychologist Frank for founders in the Aarhus area. The sessions are offered by djursland-psykologen.dk, which is where you sign up.
English, in Mørke or online
Sessions can be held in English, both online and in Mørke on Djursland. Mørke is roughly a 25 to 35 minute drive from Aarhus, and meeting in person there is a real option, not a fallback. Online is there for weeks with travel, late meetings or a calendar that leaves no room for the drive.
Whichever you choose, the evening slot is fixed, the psychologist is the same, and the conversation is confidential.
What founders bring
You know how many months are left, also at two in the morning, and it shapes how you sleep and what you dare to plan.
The mood in the room follows yours, so you rarely show doubt. Few places are left where you can say it aloud.
Hiring, letting go, a co-founder who needs to leave. These choices settle in the body, not only in the spreadsheet.
The sessions can make room for all of it: the pressure from investors and expectations, your own standards, and the question of who you are when the company is not part of the equation. They are psychological conversations, not business advice.
About Frank
Frank is an authorised psychologist, with authorisation ID 0H2Y3 that you can look up in the official register. He trained at Aarhus University (2005) and was authorised in 2011. He has worked as a crisis psychologist and clinical lead, and he has been CEO of a high-tech, venture-funded start-up, with international sales and scaling, budgets and investors as part of the job. He has carried responsibility for strategy, finances and staff in both public and private settings.
His approach is integrative and humanistic, drawing on relational, narrative and existential perspectives and on cognitive behavioural therapy.
The framework
- A fixed weekly evening slot, and the same psychologist throughout.
- Limited capacity and usually a waiting list, so no start date can be promised.
- Sign-up through the main site, free of obligation. Prices are published there.
Typical clients are founders, CEOs and other leaders in the start-up and scale-up scene, as well as busy professionals with international careers.
Quick questions

Is there a waiting list?
Yes. Capacity is limited, and nobody can promise a start date. Signing up carries no obligation.
Who is told that I attend?
Nobody. Your GP, the municipality, your partner and your employer are not notified. Sessions are private and covered by the psychologist's duty of confidentiality.
