Hugrún Kristjánsdóttir

Recovery Counsellor

Hugrún is a certified alcohol and drug addiction counsellor from Reykjavik, Iceland, with over seven years of experience in the addiction field. With her extensive experience in group therapy, private counselling, and more than fifteen years in recovery from addiction, she knows exactly where the beat is. Hugrún has held a variety of roles in a variety of disciplines before deciding to put her abilities and large heart to greater use in the field of addiction treatment. Her most recent post was as the Director of the Family Justice Center for Survivors of Violence. We’re delighted that she decided her future to be with NEOVIVA, as her experience with families and children in a friendly and non-threatening approach complements our team exceptionally well. Hugrún lives a healthy and active lifestyle perfectly suited for our environment and the natural beauty of Central Switzerland. And being an absolute bookworm herself, she has just recently translated the book “The body keeps the score” by Bessel van der Kolk, into Icelandic.
