Welcome thelongexile

My name is Sara.
I work with children and adults, supporting emotional development, attachment, and healing from early life experiences.

I am trained as a preschool and early school teacher, and I am completing certification as an IOPT (Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma) trauma therapist.

My background combines education, counseling, and trauma-informed work.

For many years, I have worked closely with children, families, and adults — listening not only to words, but to what lives underneath behavior, silence, and emotions.

I believe that many struggles are not signs of weakness.

They are signs of adaptation.

Healing begins when we feel safe enough to:

  • slow down

  • feel what is present

  • understand our inner world

  • and take our own experience seriously


I live in Norway and work with people in Norway, Ethiopia, and internationally through online sessions.

Our Space

A calm refuge where healing and connection gently unfold.

I felt truly seen and safe here, finally able to breathe and grow gently.

This space helped me connect with my emotions without fear or judgment.
