Integrative Therapy

Talk therapy alone is often fairly ineffective. We can be the best experts on our life situation and our past, understand the cause-and-effect relationships well on an intellectual level – and still feel stuck. Lasting change requires something to shift at the level of feeling and action.

I work somatically and holistically. Together, we learn to recognise and regulate your body's protective responses (fight – flight – freeze – fawn), to release unfinished emotional experiences and to untangle harmful thought patterns.

In my practice I draw on, among other approaches, the recognition of internal parts and rebalancing the relationships between them, gestalt therapeutic methods, and the Living Compassion approach, in which we meet and listen to all aspects of our being with compassion and presence.

My clients often describe feeling relief as a long-held burden begins to lighten. A sense of space opening up. A deeper connection to themselves, their body, their emotions, and the world around them. Shifts in relationships, at work, and in everyday life.

Therapy cultivates presence, and self-compassion. It develops a more secure attachment to others and new skills for relating and communicating.

I tailor the work to meet your needs. In person at my practice in Munkkivuori, or online.
