What Favne does

Favne Psykologbistand AS is a private psychology clinic headquartered in Oslo, Norway, operating since 2013. Its clinical practice provides individual psychological therapy across multiple evidence-based modalities — including talk therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), EMDR, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), and Deliberate Practice — with delivery channels spanning in-person sessions at the Oslo clinic, video therapy for nationwide reach, and an online booking system. The firm maintains a roster of approximately 26 licensed psychologists organized into modality-specific teams.

Favne operates two revenue streams. The first is direct-to-consumer individual therapy, billed per session and accessible via private pay or insurance. The second is delivered through the sub-brand Favne Arbeids- og Organisasjonspsykologi, which provides B2B organizational psychology services: leadership development, supervision, training, and process supervision for staff groups. The practice has also launched coping skills courses on stress/burnout and social anxiety, extending beyond 1:1 clinical hours into digital content.

The clinic is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors. Leadership consists of Pål-Erling Anonsen (Working Chairman) and Kirsti Sunde Hansen (Daily Manager). Technology is operational rather than differentiating — standard telemedicine and booking infrastructure — and there is no disclosed use of AI/ML in clinical or administrative workflows. The company's strategic positioning rests on clinician talent, multi-modality breadth, and category leadership in newer methodologies such as Deliberate Practice and PRT in the Norwegian market.

Emerging players

• Mindler: Swedish-founded digital psychology platform that has expanded across the Nordics, including Norway. Comparable to Favne on the Norwegian digital/online therapy axis, but differentiates on a tech-platform model (matching, app-based delivery) versus Favne's clinic-led delivery with video add-on.
• Dr. Dropin: Norwegian private digital and physical healthcare chain offering GP and selected specialist services including mental health support. Comparable to Favne as a Norwegian private-pay provider, but with a generalist health offering rather than psychology specialization.
• Doktor.se: Swedish digital healthcare provider expanding across the Nordics, with a growing mental health offering via its app. Comparable to Favne as a Nordic provider of digital therapy services, though Doktor.se is digital-first across multiple specialties rather than psychology-specialized.
• Kry (Livi): Nordic digital healthcare platform offering GP and increasingly mental health consultations via video in Norway. Comparable to Favne on the Norwegian online therapy/mental health axis, but broader (GP + mental health) and platform-led rather than a single specialty psychology clinic.

Regional players

• Modum Bad: Norwegian specialist hospital for psychiatry and rehabilitation, including psychotherapy programs. Comparable to Favne in delivering psychological treatment to Norwegian patients, but operates an inpatient/residential model rather than Favne's outpatient clinic model.

Broad incumbents

• Stamina Helse: Large Norwegian occupational health and corporate psychology provider serving employers with leadership development, burnout prevention, and EAP-style services. Comparable to Favne on the corporate/organizational psychology and burnout prevention offering, but focused exclusively on B2B versus Favne's hybrid B2C/B2B model.
• Volvat Medisinske Senter: Largest private healthcare provider in Norway, operating multi-specialty medical centers that include psychology and psychiatry services. Comparable to Favne as a Norwegian private-pay provider of mental health services, but operates at much broader scale and across many clinical specialties, not just psychology.
• Aleris Helse: Nordic private healthcare group (Norwegian arm: Aleris Helse) offering a wide range of specialist services including psychology and psychiatry. Comparable to Favne on the Norwegian private-pay mental health axis, but broader scope across somatic and mental health and larger network footprint.

Direct peers

• PsiOpp: Norwegian provider of organizational psychology, leadership development, and workplace mental health services to businesses. Comparable to Favne on the B2B organizational psychology and leadership development service line, though PsiOpp is more concentrated on the corporate side while Favne's core is clinical individual therapy.
• Oslo Psykologsenter: Oslo-based private psychology clinic offering individual therapy, couple therapy, and child/youth psychology services in a private-pay model. Highly comparable to Favne on geography (Oslo), service mix (individual, couple, child/adolescent), and private-pay Norwegian positioning.
