About me - Service also in English

I am Henri Lepola, a licensed psychotherapist with extensive professional experience across various areas of social and healthcare services. I am also a committed humanist, and I believe deeply in the value and central of human relationships in all meaning formation processes.

During our sessions, we can explore topics such as mental health challenges, coping and resilience, everyday stress and strain, relationship difficulties, addictions, and violence, according to our shared therapeutic plan. My approach is grounded in dialogical and narrative methods that support the development of a collaborative therapeutic relationship, as well as exercises that cultivate cognitive and embodied awareness.

At the heart of relationship-focused psychotherapy is the exploration, transformation, and maintenance of experiences and phenomena in relation to others. Relationships with other people, communities, and the world around are fundamental human needs and central to the development of a sense of meaning. We do not exist in isolation, and for this reason, bringing relationships into therapy is essential in supporting meaningful change. We can work with relationships both one-to-one and between several people together.
