About

I work as:

  • Professor of Counselling
  • Head of NTNU WellFare: Nordic Research Center for Wellbeing and Social Sustainability
  • Leder av WHO Collaborating Center on Well-being and Social Sustainability

I have a cand.polit (Masters) degree in Educational Psychology (Organisational Development, and Leadership), Continuing Education in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice, and a PhD in Social Psychology. I have worked in family counselling/therapy services, child welfare, and mental health care, and have worked in leadership and in organisational development

My research explores how conditions of fairness and experiences of mattering  — relate to well-being ill-being, mental health and health outcomes, and how these dynamics shape individuals’ lives and society at personal, relational, collective, and structural levels.

Using mixed methods, I also study social inclusion, recovery in mental health and substance abuse, recovery-oriented mental health services, welfare services for children, youth and families, and public sector innovation.

My work bridges theory and practice by designing research, interventions, and policy that foster mattering, well-being fairness, and well-being economies.
