His work as a clinical psychologist integrates academic research with clinical practice in Norwegian mental healthcare settings.

Research Interests:
Veseth's primary areas of investigation include:

• Clinical Psychology and Mental Health Recovery
• Qualitative Research on Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder
• Professional Development and Emotional Challenges of Therapists
• Experiences of Young Adults with First-Episode Psychosis
• Music Therapy in Medication-Free Mental Health Services

He employs narrative and in-depth qualitative methods to explore the lived experiences of patients and clinicians, emphasizing Norwegian cultural contexts.

His recent publications demonstrate consistent thematic focus on narrative construction in recovery processes, the emotional dimensions of clinical practice (particularly work-related regret), and innovative non-pharmacological interventions. Research predominantly targets youth populations and specialized treatment environments within Norway's public health system.
