About me

I am originally from Finland but have also lived in Thailand, USA and the UK where I currently reside. I have previously worked in various London-based jobs including being a healthcare assistant in a mental health unit and a support worker in supported accommodations from 2016 to 2019. Witnessing the struggles I saw in this work, it motivated me to study addiction psychology and counselling at London South Bank University (LSBU), while working part time as a counsellor for the NHS, Humankind and WDP from 2019 to 2021. These two years contributed to solidify my knowledge of counselling and how best to support clients suffering from the different aspects of addiction and mental health. As a result of completing this degree, I became certified as a member of British Association of Counselling Practitioners (BACP) and Addiction Professionals in 2021. I then became accredited by BACP in 2025.
I have been working as a counsellor for over 5 years now. I have had my own practice since 2022 and have also done work for Castle Craig Hospital as an addictions therapist in that time.
I currently focus on addiction, trauma and other complex mental health issues in Finnish and English using solution focused methods such as CBT.

Areas of interest

I work with all ages between 18-65 for the following conditions;

Addiction Recovery;
Addiction to alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, food can take many forms, but my work being grounded in addiction neuroscience combined with solution focused methods will tailor your therapy to your needs. I work with any patient who is just starting to question their use to those who are in full recovery.

Depression & Low Mood;
Depression distorts reality and drains motivation. We'll explore what's weighing you down and focus on achievable steps that bring relief, clarity, and purpose.

Trauma & PTSD;
Traumatic experiences can quietly shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. My approach helps you understand how trauma affects your mind and body, and gently guides you toward healing-at your own pace.

Anxiety;
When life feels overwhelming, my therapy offers tools to manage emotions, break negative cycles, and regain calmness. Together, we'll build coping skills that work for you.
