My name is Vigdís M. Jónsdóttir, and I am a clinical psychologist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Reykjavik University. I have worked with a diverse range of clients – both within the public sector and in private practice. My areas of expertise include the treatment of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, neurodiversity, and ADHD diagnosis. In my work, I take a collaborative and individualized approach, guided by each person’s unique goals and needs. My therapy is grounded in evidence-based methods, primarily cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). In recent years, I have placed increasing emphasis on the physiological factors that influence mental health, and I am further specializing in an emerging field known as metabolic psychiatry. This approach explores how factors such as nutrition, sleep, movement, and metabolism affect emotional well-being – particularly for individuals with long-term symptoms that have not improved with conventional treatment. I have completed the Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health Clinician Training Program (2025) led by Dr. Georgia Ede, which focuses on the therapeutic use of ketogenic nutrition as an adjunct in the treatment of mental health conditions. Today, I offer psychological therapy that considers both psychological and physiological aspects when relevant. The goal is always the same: to support you in achieving greater well-being, balance, and quality of life in your everyday experience.
