About me
About My Work
I am a therapist specialising in sexuality, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. I support individuals and couples in understanding their relational patterns, deepening their connection with themselves, and building more conscious and fulfilling relationships.
My approach combines therapeutic conversation with insights from attachment theory, relationship psychology, and nervous system awareness. Together we explore how past experiences, emotional patterns, and the body’s responses shape intimacy, communication, and connection.
Before returning to Finland, I spent around 15 years in London working in the dating and relationship field, including matchmaking and relationship coaching. This experience gives my work a practical perspective on modern relationships and dating.
My aim is to create a safe, reflective space where clients can pause, explore their experiences, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Themes I Often Work With
• relationship challenges and communication patterns
• sexual desire and intimacy
• attachment patterns (anxious or avoidant dynamics)
• recurring dating or relationship patterns
• emotional safety and connection
• reconnecting with sexuality and the body
• navigating separation or new beginnings
I also work with clients who simply wish to understand themselves more deeply and cultivate more meaningful relationships.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Sex therapyRecommended for individuals or couples who want help improving their sex life, intimacy, or overcoming sexual issues in a supportive environment.
I prioritise creating a safe, warm, emphathetic and honest environment for my clients so they feel they can share and open up.
As a counsellor & coach I am gentle, playful, honest and direct, I encourage my clients to investigate and self-reflect in a way that allows answers to rise up to the surface.
I help my clients find their own way for relationships and sexuality, I allow and encourage for deep inner work and investigation outside of the counselling sessions.
I offer excercises / homework to deepen the process - some can be mindfulness based, others more practical, based on clients' situation, requirements and needs.
In my sessions I aim to create a space where clients can slow down, reflect honestly, and explore their experiences with curiosity and compassion. Many clients find that this process helps them understand their patterns more clearly and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.
I work on one-to-one basis with individuals anc couples via videocalls.

Experience
I have worked with clients on a one-to-one basis since 2011, meeting and interviewing clients in matchmaking and date coaching capacity. In 2018, I established my first independent practice focused on date & relationship coaching, supporting clients both in person and via video calls.
In 2024, I expanded my work further by founding my current practice specialising in sexuality counselling & therapy as well as dating and relationship coaching.
I genuinely love what I do, and I look forward to working with more wonderful humans whose journeys in relationships, dating, and sexuality I can support with care, clarity, and professionalism.
I am also a recently appointed board member (term 2026–2028) of Valve ry, a Finnish organisation promoting inclusive and diverse sex education.
