Warmly welcome to Step in coaching, short therapy session or contact me if you need mediation, especially work at workplace.
Coaching services
I practice solution-oriented coaching to help people for example in following situations: helping to focus in the most important things in life, to reach goals in different areas of life, to develop one’s self-knowledge and strenghten one’s real abilities, finding ways to make a situation with intolerable co-worker better… and many more!
Short therapy
I started to study cognitive short therapy to find deeper understanding and better tools to people’s situations that I was facing in my work as a social worker. I found a rich and highly interesting world!
If your situation with for example depression, anxiety or substance abuse is acute but not prolonged for many years, short therapy can be very helpful. The term cognitive refers to practices, that the therapist will give during and after meeting. It is important to have some energy and interest in your own wellbeing to do the excercices that can bring help. Making acceptance, self-compassion easier and finding ways to enhance your mental health are possible in the meetings.
My materials are in the Finnish language, but I can translate the necessary ones.
Solution-oriented workplace mediation
Mediation is based on the restorative idea of justice, where the participants own their conflicts and they have the responsibility and the right to participate to find a solution to it.
It is important to have individual meetings with the participants before the joint meeting. It is crucial for everyone to tell their story, deal with emotions and to reach a conclusion,that is somehow useful for all the participants.
Mediation also can prevent conflicts and improve co-working skills. After mediation there is follow-up where we look into how the terms of the agreement are followed in the everyday life.
If mediation doesn’t bring agreement, it can produce valuable information of how people in the workplace are functioning.
Mediation usually delivers enhanced well-being at workplace and reduces sick-leaves.
Quoting our former president Martti Ahtisaari, peace is a matter of will. Mediation is a practical method of peace work.
About me
I have worked for over a decade as a social worker and I have gained a lot of experience in contact and problem-solving with many different kind of people and life situations. I have witnessed many a times how powerful the solution -oriented thinking is and how the needed knowledge is already within us, but we need another person to help us realize it. We are deeply social creatures, and we need each other, and as a coach / therapist I have many means to help you find a more satisfying life situation.
I have a Master’s degree in Social Policy in University of Tampere, and have finished studies in short therapy (Integrum oy), solution-oriented mediation at the workplace (Helsingin psykoterapiainstituutti) and solution-oriented coaching (Siria oy).
