About Päivi
Päivi uses a client-centred approach that treats the client as the expert in their own life. She listens without judgement and helps people notice their strengths. This simple focus can make difficult feelings easier to manage over time.
She has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Päivi draws on this background when offering steady, person-focused sessions that aim to build confidence and clarity.
Common themes she supports include abandonment and attachment issues, body image and codependency, communication problems and commitment concerns. She also works with divorce and separation difficulties, guilt and shame, social anxiety, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Päivi is able to hold sessions in English, Finnish and Swedish. She practices from the United Kingdom and offers several online formats to fit different needs. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Päivi uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and trauma.Sessions are collaborative. Päivi will work with each person to choose ways of working that suit their needs and goals. She checks in about what is helping and adapts the approach as the work progresses so the therapy fits the individual rather than the other way round.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, written interactions that can fit around busy days or be useful for checking progress between longer sessions.
These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions across different routines and locations. Registered or accredited professionals can work effectively online, and Päivi aims to help people find the format that best supports their goals.
