Psychology Helsinki

Sometimes life can feel too challenging. Or, it is not satisfying enough. It is overwhelming or underwhelming. Or you may feel stuck. Maybe there are behavioural patterns you would like to change. Or relationships are not working. These are all typical moments in life when therapy can be of help, so you can find your way forward to a more satisfying life.

My aim in therapy and counselling is to provide you as an individual or you as a couple with an accepting and supportive professional relationship. Together we will develop a therapeutic process that takes account of your individuality. During the process we will help you access your personal resources (e.g., previous experiences, strengths) and social connections. Our work together will support you in finding paths out of current difficulties.

In a nutshell, my approach is based on the understanding that there are transformative psychological processes in all human beings. Given a supportive environment, these natural processes enable healthy development.

I provide psychological services in English, German and Afrikaans. My skills in each of these languages are at native speaker level. I am licensed as a psychologist with the National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health, Valvira in Finland.

Please feel free to contact me (by sending an email to gudrun@psychologyhelsinki.fi or filling out the contact form). Because I am often with a client, I am mostly unable to receive calls, but I do check my emails daily and will get back to you.
