About Päivi
Päivi Griffiths is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. She speaks English, Finnish and Swedish.
Päivi works from a client-centred perspective. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and uses that view to guide conversations. Sessions are aimed at making sense of difficult experiences and recognising the strengths someone already has.
In practice she listens for patterns that cause pain, such as attachment difficulties, codependency or repeated communication problems. She helps people name feelings linked to abandonment, guilt or shame and look at how these affect day-to-day choices. When trauma or post-traumatic stress is present, she prioritises pacing and keeping work manageable.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. People can expect to talk through recent events, long-standing patterns and practical steps to reduce anxiety or increase confidence. Discussion may include relationships, body image, life purpose and multicultural concerns.
Sessions are offered in English, Finnish and Swedish. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options using the site buttons described under getting started.

Client-centred work and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the client's own view of their life. The counsellor listens without steering and helps the client clarify feelings and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship issues and low self-esteem because it focuses on the person's experience and resources.Päivi will treat choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She discusses what is helping or hindering, tries different ways of working if needed, and checks in regularly about goals and preferences. The aim is to find a method that fits the person's needs and pace.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow work during a short break. They also allow people to meet a therapist who speaks English, Finnish or Swedish without travelling. Ask about session length and technical requirements when arranging the first appointment.
