LECTURES, CONSULTANCY AND SEXUAL THERAPY

CONCULTANSY AND ADVISORY SERVICES

We also offer to consult and expert services directly to professionals and for all people in need of support.

This can be direct case-by-case advice (with customer safety in mind), advice to the client on sexuality issues, or consultation on issues related to your service chain.

LECTURES

We provide extensive training on themes of sexuality, especially for professionals in social and healthcare sectors.

We specialize in intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum, but also broadly in the effects of illness and disability.

We conduct trainings throughout the world.

SEXUAL THERAPY

Sexual therapy is available in Mikkeli for in-person sessions and remotely throughout the world.

You can seek sexual therapy either individually or with a partner.

Bold and Sensitive - With Expertise

My goal in training sessions is to provide new, accurate information boldly, sensitively, but also with a bit of a shake-up. I have trained both professionals and others working with special groups nationwide. I have engaged in discussions with instructors, teachers, parents, and other healthcare professionals.

My aspiration is also to continuously produce concrete material on sexuality themes for the healthcare sector. I have written extensively on various topics, including commissioned pieces for different platforms, such as the Nursing Database of the Finnish Medical Society Duodecim’s Terveysportti.

I have extensive work experience in the field, doing foundational work with clients, and I continuously provide both occupational therapy and sex therapy to my clients. Continuing education is a routine for me, and I am constantly pursuing further training – currently, I am working towards a professional qualification as a supervisor!

Sexual Therapy

Do You Have Concerns Related to Sexuality? Do you need support and someone to talk to about sex or relationships?
Is there an illness you feel is affecting your ability to experience sexuality in your daily life?

You can attend therapy sessions alone or with your partner/partners, and all discussions are always confidential.
In therapy, the client is not touched.

You can seek sexual therapy if you or your partner(s) are concerned about issues such as:

Relationship challenges, such as mismatched desires, trust issues, or sexual difficulties
Compulsive sexual behavior, such as addiction to pornography or sex
Exploring or finding your own sexual desireIssues related to sexual identity
Fears or anxiety related to sexuality
Functional disorders, such as erectile dysfunction or pain during sex, can also be addressed through therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches I Use:

Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Resource-Oriented Approaches

I have been described as a firm yet gently stimulating and straightforward therapist. In therapy, we do not look for someone to blame for the problems, but rather for solutions.

Specialization Areas:

I specialize particularly in themes of illness and disability in relation to sexuality. My specific expertise includes:

Cerebrovascular Disorders
Brain Injury
Dementia
Spinal Cord Injury
Chronic Illnesses (including skin diseases)
Chronic Pain
Epilepsy
Intellectual Disabilites and Autism Spectrum
