Welcome to Open Mind
Andrew Kurek
Psychotherapist
You're not alone.
Everyone faces challenges in their lives. We all have our unique struggles, despite trying to avoid pain and difficulty.
Suffering is part of being human. Our minds are wired to seek out and focus on negativity as a survival function. It may seem that our minds are at odds with our well-being and flourishing. But there are ways to resolve our challenges.
You can change your life.
Therapy offers you a supportive space to discover new perspectives and strategies to respond to challenges. I want to offer you a new approach to being so that you can thrive even in challenging times.
In my practice, I aim to support you to cultivate self-awareness, resilience and develop your future vision.
I have trained in humanist psychotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), among others, that can help you discover and utilise strategies to move you towards the life you want to live.

Hi, I'm Andrew.
I'm a trained mental health therapist with experience counselling adults in community health and unemployment services. I have supported individuals who have experienced gambling harm and offered support to people with broad-ranging issues such as anxiety, depression, unemployment, loss and traumatic life events, among others.
I completed my counselling education at the Australian College of Applied Psychology (ACAP) in Melbourne, Australia. Now living in Denmark, I am accredited by Dansk Psykoterapeutforening (Danish Psychotherapists Association). I offer individual therapy online and in-person in Odense in English.
I strive to provide an open-minded, caring and genuine approach. My ambition is to enable personal growth, resilience and motivation to achieve your desired ambitions. The underpinning wisdom that has shaped my practice is influenced by various modes of therapy, including Person Centered, Gestalt, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), among others.
ACT is an evidence-based approach that guides you to manage difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, while taking meaningful action aligned with your personal values. ACT teaches practical skills to handle life's ups and downs and helps you build a rich, purposeful life even when facing challenges.
If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, work stress, past trauma, addiction, or if you simply feel stuck and want to live more in line with what's important to you, ACT can help.
My style of working is present and future orientated, meaning I aim to support your current challenges and offer development that aims to assist you in the future. Whilst I believe our history informs our present way of being, it's possible to cultivate adaptive ways of responding to experiences and create opportunities for new futures.
