How to find a therapist who speaks Finnish
Regardless of your location or language proficiency, you can connect with a therapist who understands your cultural background and communicates in a language you're comfortable with. This inclusivity ensures that everyone, regardless of geographical location or linguistic differences, can access the support they deserve. We also understand that there are many reasons why you might feel more comfortable with a counsellor who shares similar demographics. If you have specific preferences for your therapist, you can use our built-in therapy search filters to find the right fit for you. Search for Finnish-speaking therapists by filtering by language in the search tool here in our directory of licensed professionals and discover other filter options such as:
- gender identity
- religion

Should I do therapy in my native language?
The opinions on the topic language and therapy are varied, but roughly speaking, the theories can be split into two categories: Those that claim non-native therapy to be less effective and less emotional than therapy in your mother tongue, and those which say non-native therapy might be more analytical than native therapy. Like with so many other criteria when looking for a therapist, it's good to ask yourself if you need someone who resembles you or if it's enough to find someone who simply shares aspects of your cultural experience. In the end, more than anything else, it's the therapeutic relationship and rapport that makes for successful therapy. Read more about doing therapy in your native language here.

Complex Trauma: What Is It and How Does It Affect People?
Trauma is something many of us are familiar with, whether through personal experience or stories we’ve heard from others. It can be a single event: a car accident, a natural disaster, or a sudden loss. But not all trauma is the same. Complex trauma is different because it’s typically prolonged and repeated, leaving deeper scars
