Tore Klevjer
Tore has been a counsellor and educator for 25 years. He brings a career as a paramedic, and an excellent understanding of cross cultural and religious influences to the counselling experience.
Tore’s area of expertise is in the area of coercive influence, and the damage and trauma that is the result of exploitation by ‘high demand’ or ‘totalistic’ ideologies otherwise known as cults. Tore has lived experience and has been involved with creating awareness around the topic since 1990. Tore has been a part of two documentaries ‘Beyond our Ken’ and ‘Visions of Paradise’ Ronin Films and has acted as a consultant to media on numerous occasions.
