Towards balance, strength and psychological flexibility
I offer therapy and coaching for adults and young people with flexible scheduling.
People come to me with a wide range of concerns, including stress, burnout, anxiety, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, performance pressure and finding greater direction in life.

Support for adults, young people and knowledge workers
Throughout our lives, we develop ways of coping, taking responsibility and moving forward. Many of these ways serve us well for a long time, but when our circumstances change, our old ways of coping may no longer be enough.
Taking a pause can help us understand ourselves in new ways: what we need, what is weighing us down and what matters most in our lives right now. At the same time, we may discover new ways of responding and build a more sustainable relationship with others, ourselves and our lives.
I offer therapy and coaching for adults who want to understand themselves better, strengthen their well-being and find new ways of dealing with life's challenges. I also work with young people, and my training qualifies me to provide therapeutic support for adolescents. When needed, I can also work collaboratively with parents and other people involved in the young person's life.
My work is individualised and practical. I draw on psychotherapeutic methods and psychological insight, with the aim of strengthening well-being, functioning and psychological flexibility.

SERVICES
Online psychotherapy and coaching
Therapy
Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to pause, understand the connections between your thoughts, emotions and patterns of behaviour, and discover new ways of responding to life's challenges.
You may seek therapy for anxiety, burnout, stress, major life transitions, relationship difficulties or other challenges in your life.
Coaching
Coaching focuses on clarifying goals, strengthening personal resources and building practical structures that support everyday life.
I also offer exercise-focused coaching combining psychological work with physical activity and the development of physical capacity.
Appointments are primarily available on weekday evenings from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm (Finnish time).

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Advanced-level Psychotherapist & Certified Personal Trainer
My academic background is in theology, and I am a qualified psychotherapist in Finland. During my theological studies, my major was philosophy of religion, and I am currently completing my doctoral dissertation in the field. My research focuses on the role of imagination in worldview formation and its relationship to emotions and thought.
My work is guided by a solution-focused, cognitive and integrative approach that draws on different psychotherapeutic orientations, while remaining attentive to each client's individual perspective and experience.
I have over 15 years of experience in therapy, coaching and working with people. My approach combines a calm and attentive presence with a curious, exploratory mindset and a practical focus.
