That’s a way to see it and there is
also another way to see it.

In English
I am a Finnish psychotherapist. I work as a private therapist for adults and youth with different challenges or special needs. My office is located in Tampere, approximately 200 kilometres north of Helsinki. My therapeutic method is solution-focused psychotherapy. In Finland, clients with mental issues or disabilities can receive psychotherapy paid by the national healthcare.
I have been working in my own practice since the 2012. Previously, I worked in non-governmental organisations with people with special needs.
