From time to time, we all experience moments where we don’t know what to do with our own problems, with our children, with our spouse, with colleagues when proven methods of coping no longer help, and our reserves seem to have been completely exhausted.

With a psychological counsellor, psychological help is available for problems related to one’s personality, relationships, life events, and life changes. The impasse is analysed together with the counsellor or psychologist, the possibilities for changing it are discussed, and new perspectives, solutions, and future prospects are explored.

Individual psychological counselling helps in the case of personality and communication problems, spiritual crises, and difficult situations. It allows for the improvement of adaptability and communication skills, and the correction of self-esteem. It helps to increase resilience to stress and the ability to cope with life. Together with the psychologist, the causes that have led to a problematic situation are analysed and new aspects, solutions, and prospects for the future are found. The psychological advisor helps and supports you in finding clarity about yourself, in searching for alternative solutions and development opportunities, and making choices.

Couples therapy (relationship counseling) is an effective way to strengthen a relationship, improve communication, and resolve difficult situations in a safe environment. Therapy helps partners better understand themselves and each other, learn to listen, and express their needs and feelings in ways that foster closeness and mutual understanding.

Couples therapy is suitable for any stage of a relationship – whether you are satisfied with your relationship and wish to deepen it, or you’re facing tension, conflict, or a crisis of trust.

When to come to couples therapy?

Couples therapy can be helpful if:

• Communication has become difficult or distant

• Frequent arguments or misunderstandings occur

• Emotional or physical intimacy has decreased

• There has been infidelity or a trust crisis

• One or both partners feel dissatisfied, lonely, or exhausted in the relationship

• Support is needed during life changes or family expansion

How does couples therapy work?

In couples therapy, the therapist creates a neutral and safe space where both partners can express their perspectives and listen to each other. The therapist helps identify patterns that affect the relationship and supports the discovery of new ways to communicate and solve problems.

The duration of therapy depends on the couple and their goals – sometimes a few sessions are enough, while in other cases a longer process is needed.

Couples therapy helps to:

• Improve communication and listening skills

• Restore trust and intimacy

• Find shared values and goals

• Understand differences without blame

• Strengthen the emotional bond and sense of security between partners

Couples counseling is conducted by psychologist Evelin Ilves-Lepp.

Sexual counseling is intended for anyone who has questions or concerns about their sexuality, sexual health, or sexual behavior. It is not only about solving problems — it can also be part of learning more about yourself, understanding your values and attitudes, and expanding your sexual education.

People often seek counseling, for example, when:

• They experience difficulties in intimate or close relationships (e.g., decreased sexual interest or desire)

• They have questions about pleasure, desire, or arousal

• They struggle with body image or self-esteem issues

• They want clarity about their sexuality, values, or attitudes

• They feel confused about sexual orientation, identity, or understanding the sexual spectrum

• They have questions or concerns related to sexual fantasies

• They experience disturbing sexual thoughts

• They want more knowledge about sexual health and safe practices

Counseling is provided by psychologist Gea Rumjantseva, who has completed comprehensive sexology training at the Finnish Sexpo Foundation and is currently continuing her studies in the organization’s advanced sexual counseling program (Level II).

Counselling for children helps with any behavioural, emotional and intellectual problems being experienced by the child, as well as in deciding on the child’s readiness for school, preparing them for school, coping with learning difficulties, etc. Consultations are also available for grief and crisis problems.

Depending on the nature of the client’s problem and the client’s motivation, counselling may be limited to a few sessions or become a longer-term cooperation relationship. The frequency of individual counselling sessions depends on the agreement between the client and the psychologist. Sessions generally take place 1–2 times per week.

If necessary, a psychological counsellor will be able to recommend other specialists, psychiatrists or psychotherapists. Everything that is discussed during counselling sessions is confidential.
