Do you feel stressed, anxious or depressed? Do you suffer from performance anxiety? Feeling stuck or lost and not know which way to go? Longing for a stronger sense on we/I-being in your life? Interested in digging more deeply into your own creativity? Brief Therapy is easily accessible confidential counseling at challenging times in life. Whether there is a difficult situation related to work, social relations or to life in more general, it supports the client's own search for well-being. The aim is to build sustainable solutions in their lives. At the heart of our partnership are your needs, your wishes and your situation. The fact that you have come to therapy is a positive indicator showing that you have not given up on building a good life for yourself. Our aim is that from our very first meeting, your start feeling more hopeful about yourself and your life. The feeling that you are on the right track strengthens and you understand better how to take this forward on a concrete level in your daily life. As a therapist, I am there for you. I listen to you carefully, to your unique experience and story. The desired change will give direction to our collaboration. I use mental imagery and other exercises when preferred. I am an international professional with a long track record in coaching and training. I wrote the first coaching related doctoral thesis in Finland on a new coaching method I developed (in Sibelius Academy). The method integrates professional excellence and well-being, and also alleviates performance anxiety. I have been applying this method broadly in my work with people and organisations in different professional sectors for over twenty years. My background is in performing arts (professional musician). All people are welcome to my brief therapy regardless of their situation, sector or background!
