Preparation
You and your therapist prepare carefully so you know what to expect.
About the treatment
Treatment shaped around you
Precision therapy combines evidence-based psychotherapy, continuous follow-up and optional additions when they are assessed as right for you.
Precision therapy
What is precision therapy?
We call our way of working precision therapy. In line with developments in mental-health research, we look beyond diagnoses to the unique combination of physical, psychological and life factors that affect how you feel and respond to treatment.
At Nūvai we use modern tools to collect and follow relevant information about you, aiming to increase treatment precision and adapt support to your individual needs.
The goal is sustainable change.
A continuous process
Mellanrum — where therapy continues
Precision therapy is not only about what happens in the therapy room, but also what happens between sessions. That is often where insights are put into daily life — and where change can become difficult and begin to matter.
We call this Mellanrum, also the name of our digital follow-up tool. With your consent we collect information such as sleep, breathing, activity and recovery, alongside your own descriptions of thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Mellanrum gives us a better opportunity to guide the therapeutic process as it develops.

Treatment additions
Sometimes therapy alone is not enough to reach the change you seek.
After an individual medical and psychological assessment, therapy may be complemented with methods such as ketamine or breathwork. Every addition is introduced carefully, evaluated systematically and adapted to your goals, needs and response.
- Optional
- Integrated into your ongoing therapeutic process
- Individually assessed by a physician and psychologist
- Preceded by careful preparation and followed by integration
Additions in three phases
Treatment
The addition is introduced to strengthen the therapeutic process.
Integration
Together you process what emerged and weave it into your continued therapy.
Medical addition
Ketamine
Nūvai specialises in medication-assisted treatment with ketamine and always follows current regional guidelines.
Ketamine has been used in healthcare for more than 50 years. Every treatment is preceded by a careful medical assessment and closely monitored during and after each session.
Non-medical addition
Breathwork
Soma+IQ is a body-focused breathwork method used in psychotherapy. Guided breathing supports body awareness, presence and emotional processing. It can be offered individually or in groups.
Partner clinic abroad
Psilocybin
Psilocybin is offered through an accredited partner clinic abroad, in a country where medical use is approved. Treatment is normally 1–2 dosing sessions during one week, with preparation and integration together with Nūvai.
Safety first
When are additions not the right path?
- Previous psychotic episodes
- Bipolar disorder type I (for medical additions)
- Acute suicidality
- Certain serious cardiovascular diseases
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Additions are not suitable for everyone. We always make a thorough medical and psychological assessment. If an addition is not the right path, we will guide you onward within healthcare.
