My Approach

As a therapist I create a space where you can explore your own inner world. I accompany you on the journey and sense into what might support it in each moment. Things may open up to be seen through bodily sensations, as glimpses which you might not at first think are related to anything, or in how it is to be together. In therapy there is space to be as you are. In joint presence we can meet such aspects of you and your emotions that have not had space before.

Core Process is a form of talking therapy where we keep in touch with the present-moment experience, for example through sensing into the body; this supports the unfolding of things. An important part of the therapeutic process is the therapeutic relationship – a human relationship that gradually deepens. An essential part of this approach is also that we do not try to force things to change. When we are together and present with what is, things have space to shift – also in ways that neither of us could have planned or predicted in advance.

What might bring you to therapy could be for example:
- difficulty in taking space to be yourself, in valuing your own needs or in knowing who you actually are
- difficulty in finding or feeling connection with others
- traumatic experiences or strong emotions, which are not easy to be present with alone
- feelings of depression, anxiety, or shame, or not feeling much of anything
- habitual patterns of action or emotional reactions that you get stuck in
- feeling that you are not quite at home in your life, searching for your own direction or deeper meaning
- a wish to connect deeper to yourself or to your body, to accept all sides of yourself

About Me

I am a mindfulness-based Core Process psychotherapist, and also a professional in Focusing, an approach for listening to the wisdom of the body. I have a deep background in meditation. Nature connection and embodiment are also important to me.

I value the power of presence together, equality in meeting and permission to be what one is. I have lived experience around diversity in gender and sexuality.

I work in Helsinki (Finland) and online, in Finnish or English.
