Aku Saastamoinen

I am a 38-year-old solution-focused/cognitive psychotherapist. I am also trained in EMDR and I am a resource-oriented mindfulness instructor. As a therapist, the most important thing for me is genuinely hearing and meeting the client. Every person’s life situation and background is unique. It is important to me that the client feels truly heard and understood. I don’t impose solutions; instead, we reflect together on what has worked for the client and what hasn’t. When life feels like a dead end, a new perspective or even simple things can lead to significant change. The atmosphere in therapy should be respectful, relaxed, and confidential. The goal for both the therapist and the client is the same: to help the client move toward a better direction in life. The therapy is based on methods that research has shown to be effective, and together with the client we assess how well they fit their needs. Not every method works for everyone, but together we can find the approaches that help you best.
