Anna Järvinen

I hold a PhD in psychology in the area of autism (2005, University of London) and I am a licensed psychologist. My areas of expertise comprise neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly autism, ADHD and learning difficulties, including the symptom presentations observed in females. I am currently in clinical neuropsychology specialist training at Helsinki University Department of Medicine. I also hold a psychotherapy qualification. I have over 20 years’ experience of working in psychological settings in the UK, USA, and Finland. I worked as a researcher in cognitive neuroscience for over a decade both in London and California, thus I warmly welcome English-speaking clients to my clinic. I work with both children (above the age of 7) and adult clients. I utilise my scientific experience diffusely in my clinical work. I carry out broad neuropsychological assessments (including autism spectrum disorder and ADHD diagnostic evaluations) as well as provide rehabilitation and therapy services. I adopt a therapeutic approach to both my assessment and rehabilitation work. As a professional my goal is to provide a safe space for my client in which they can freely be themselves and feel respected and heard. Warm welcome to my clinic!
