About me
I’m a therapeutic relationship coach and sexology-informed practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and couples in navigating dating, relationships, and intimacy.
I work with people who feel stuck in recurring patterns — whether that shows up as emotional unavailability, anxiety in connection, loss of desire, or difficulty expressing needs. Many of my clients are self-aware and capable in other areas of life, yet find relationships and intimacy unexpectedly challenging.
My approach combines practical dating insight with a therapeutic understanding of attachment, nervous system responses, and relational dynamics.
Our work is not about quick fixes.
It’s about slowing down, understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, and gently shifting patterns in a way that feels grounded, realistic, and sustainable.
I offer focused 1:1 sessions here for clarity and support around your current situation.
My areas of expertise:
Dating patterns & relationship dynamics
Attachment styles
Emotional unavailability
Communication & conflict
Intimacy & sexual connection
Loss of desire / mismatched libido
Exploring different relationship models
Self-worth & relational confidence

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.
