Search for psychologists on psykologforeningen.no or through helsenorge.no provider search. For public psychology with Helfo refund, your psychologist must hold a driftshjemmel (practice license with public funding). Many Oslo psychologists hold these licenses.
Can I see a psychologist without a referral in Oslo?
Yes. For private psychologists in Oslo you do not need a referral. If you want Helfo to partially reimburse sessions (when the psychologist holds a driftshjemmel), you can self-refer and pay the co-payment, with Helfo reimbursing the remainder.
What does a psychology session cost in Oslo?
Private psychology sessions with Helfo reimbursement typically cost the patient NOK 160-450 per session. Without public funding, sessions at private Oslo practices range from NOK 900-1,800. Many employer EAP programs cover several free sessions.
Are online psychology sessions available in Oslo?
Yes. Many Oslo psychologists offer video-based therapy through platforms such as Mindler, iPsy, or encrypted video systems. This is practical for patients with busy schedules or those living in outer Oslo districts.
