Our health depends on psychological, social, physical and spiritual wellbeing. I welcome all these aspects into the therapy work. I am a relational psychodynamic therapist and offer a gentle, safe space to work through the issues people want to address. I enjoy supporting clients discover how to negotiate the challenges and joys of life.

Therapy Service and Approach : I support my clients’ healing journeys by exploring with them both their current and past experiences. This is to deepen their knowledge of themselves to become free and able to choose new ways to live.

Increased self-awareness is often the key to finding life-enhancing coping mechanisms and achieving desired changes. Thus, my interest lies in helping you understand yourself better via gentle, respectful and deep inquiry into your feelings, thoughts, bodily sensations and behaviours. Curiosity about physical sensations occurring during the session helps make traumatic experiences and emotions more accessible and tolerable.

I offer both short- and long-term therapy. I am experienced working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, life changes, relationship issues, identity exploration and trauma and its somatic expression. I also worked closely with young adults going through challenges related to loss, grief, and trauma.

My interest in the topics covered originate both from personal and professional experience. I immigrated from Finland after leaving an unhealthy religious group. I personally experienced several issues related to settling into a new life situation whilst going through these transitions.
