Life in Finland can become heavy, even after many years. Family issues, loneliness, traumatic memories, burnout, or a sense of not belonging can make everyday life difficult. In such moments, it’s essential that support is available — in a culturally sensitive and confidential way.

Transitioning to a new environment begins with settlement — but long-term growth depends on connection and opportunity.

Solution-Focused Therapy Can Help When:
- Adjusting to life still feels incomplete
- Everyday life has become heavy due to family circumstances, exhaustion, or crisis
- Traumatic experiences continue to affect the mind and body
- Trust in others has weakened, or relationships feel overwhelming
- It’s hard to find direction or hope for the future
Why do I need therapy?
You have the right to feel well — no matter how long you’ve been in Finland.
Therapy isn’t just for newcomers. It’s also for those who have already built their lives here but feel they need support. Everyone has the right to be heard and seen — in their own language and from their own starting point.
Get in touch if you’d like to talk about your situation or book a session. Together, we can find a way forward.
Sami helped me process and make sense of my life after moving to Finland. He was the only person who truly understood my situation. Thank you!
