Mediation & Coordination
Perhesovittelu ja Koordinaatio
120min
Family mediation is an out-of-court and self-determined method of conflict resolution. It facilitates communication, manages, and supports the handling of conflict (within a limited number of sessions), to reach autonomous and mutually agreed-upon arrangements that are lasting and beneficial for the management and well-being of the children (if present). The mediator supports collaboration and negotiation by focusing on the future and using constructive approaches.
Mediation is open to all types of families—married, cohabiting, same-sex parents, blended, restructured, with or without children, etc.—WITHOUT PREJUDICE OR DISTINCTION! My practice is a SAFE SPACE where you will be welcomed just as you are and wherever you are at this point in your life.
The family mediator, engaged by the parties themselves, and/or upon the recommendation of their lawyers, and/or referred by the judge, works to help the parties restructure their relationship by co-parenting principles when children are involved, or in any case, in the interest of the family. The mediator operates with strict confidentiality and outside of the court system. The mediator is an independent, neutral, impartial, and non-judgmental third party. Their role is to promote an autonomous and self-determined process for addressing financial and material/property aspects in the case of agreements. However, even more fundamental is the reworking of the conflict in a win-win mindset, meaning a resolution that considers everyone’s interests.
Legal Perspective:
From a legislative standpoint, the judge may at any time recommend family mediation (except in cases of proven or alleged violence/abuse), as per Law no. 54/2006, integrating family mediation into the Civil Code under article 155-sexies, now 337-octies.
Lawyers need to inform their clients about the option of family mediation when proceeding with assisted negotiation.
Parenting Coordination is an alternative dispute resolution method focused on the child’s well-being. It was developed in the United States and is intended for parents with high levels of conflict that could negatively affect their children's emotional and psychological well-being. The model adopted in Italy, known as the “integrated model,” involves the intervention of a professional who is impartial toward the parents but focused on the well-being and best interests of the child. This professional must be trained in the method and support high-conflict parents in implementing a parenting plan or a shared parenting program. This intervention facilitates the timely resolution of disputes and promotes the recognition of the children’s needs.
With the parents’ consent, the Parenting Coordinator may propose solutions, provide recommendations, and—within the limits of the mandate—make decisions in the children’s best interests. This role can be filled by professionals from either legal or psychological backgrounds, as long as they have specific training in the method. Parenting Coordination is based on the parties’ voluntary agreement, even when the disposition comes from the Judge
Solution-focused counseling
Ratkaisukeskeinen Lyhytterapia
60min
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Counseling involves a confidential and collaborative relationship between the client and the therapist or counselor. The focus is on identifying practical solutions to current challenges, with an emphasis on building a pathway toward the client’s preferred future.
I received my training as a Solution-Focused Brief Therapist at the Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute, Finland’s most renowned educational center for solution-focused psychology, accredited by IASTI (International Alliance of Solution-Focused Teaching Institutes).
Ratkaisukeskeisellä lyhytterapialla tarkoitetaan luottamuksellista, tasavertaista yhteistyösuhdetta asiakkaan ja lyhytterapeutin välillä, jossa etsitään elämän pulmatilanteisiin ratkaisuja katsoen toivottuun tulevaisuuteen.

Sex Counseling
Seksuaaliterapia -neuvonta
60min
Sexological Counseling addresses discomfort or challenges related to sexuality, which may stem from psychological, physical, or combined factors. It can also respond to a client’s desire for information and clarification. The direction and goals of the counseling process are defined by the client.
The counseling process typically unfolds in three phases: initiation, exploration, and closure. It aims to create a confidential and supportive space where the counselor and client can address the presented concerns through a maieutic (Socratic) approach. Sessions generally range from 5 to 15 meetings.
Sexuality is often narrowly associated with sexual activity. In reality, it is an integral part of human existence—both physical and psychological—including, for example, pleasure, embodiment, sex, gender roles, sexual orientation, and identity, to name just a few aspects.
Sexuality deserves open discussion and thoughtful exploration, as it significantly influences human interactions and is closely linked to an individual's physical and mental well-being.
Sex counseling is highly individualized and personal. The approach is tailored to the specific needs of the client—or clients, in the case of couples or group sessions—and is focused on achieving the agreed-upon goals.
Seksuaalineuvonnassa käsitellään asiakkaan seksuaalisuuteen liittyvää hankaluutta tai yleisemmin tiedonhalua. Asiakas määrittelee neuvonnan suunnan ja päämäärän. Seksuaalineuvonnan prosessi etenee kolmen vaiheen kautta: aloitus, työskentely ja loppu. Tarkoitus on luoda luottamuksellista tilaa, jossa neuvoja ja asiakas käsittelevät vuorovaikutuksessa asiakkaan pulmia. Neuvonta koostuu yleisesti 2-5 tapaamiskerrasta.
Seksuaalisuus yhdistetään yleensä ja päänsääntöisesti seksuaaliseen aktiin, mutta seksuaalisuus on ihmisen olemassaolon erottamaton puoli, sekä fyysinen että psyykkinen, johon muun muassa kuuluu nautinto, ruumiillisuus, sukupuoli, sukupuoliroolit, seksuaalinen suuntautuminen, identiteetti jne.
Seksuaalisuudesta täytyy puhua ja seksuaalisuutta kannattaa tutkiskella, sillä se vaikuttaa ihmisten kanssakäymiseen kokonaisvaltaisesti ja siitä riippuu henkilön fyysinen ja psyykkinen hyvinvointi.
Seksuaaliohjaus on yksilöllinen ja henkilökohtainen. Hoito muotoutuu asiakkaan tarpeiden ympäri ja on tavoitteellinen.
Ero neuvonnan ja terapian välillä perustuu hoidon luonteeseen sekä kestoon eikä itse hoitoon hakeutumisen syihin. Neuvonta ei välttämättä johda terapiaan, päinvastoin olisi toivottavaa, että neuvonnassa asetetut tavoitteet saavutetaan maksimissaan viiden istunnon aikana. Joskus voi käydä, että asiakkaan pulmat vaativat kuitenkin laajempaa ja kohdennettua hoitoa. Siinä tapauksessa, ratkaisemattomat kysymykset tutkitaan ja hoidetaan seksuaaliterapiassa toiminnallisella, integroivalla ja strategisella lähestymistavalla.
Reteaming
60min-180min
ReTeaming, developed and patented in Helsinki in the 1990s by Ben Furman and Tapani Ahola, is a structured, multi-phase process focused on problem-solving and development. It aims to foster motivation and enhance effective collaboration within teams. While originally designed for corporate environments, it is equally applicable to individual development and personal or project-based growth.
ReTeaming is a practical method for change, built around clearly defined phases, each focused on achieving specific goals.
The method can be effectively applied to large-scale teams as well as smaller groups, including corporate, educational, or infrastructure-based settings. It is well-suited to the restructuring of complex projects, but can also be a valuable tool for the realization of individual goals, whether they are practical in nature or aimed at personal growth and transformation.
Reteaming on LTI:n perustajien Ben Furmanin ja Tapani Aholan 1990-luvulla patentouitu menetelmä. Kyseessä on vaiheittain etenevä prosessi, jonka tarkoituksena on auttaa yksilöitä ja ryhmiä asettamaan selkeitä tavoitteita. Menetelmä vahvistaa motivaatiota tavoitteen saavuttamiseksi ja sitouttaa osapuolet rakentavaan ja myönteiseen muutosprosessiin.
Reteaming-prosessi on kehitetty tehokkaaksi työkaluksi johtamisen ja työyhteisöjen kehittämiseen. Se soveltuu erinomaisesti myös yksilövalmennukseen, ongelmanratkaisuun sekä persoonalliseen kasvuun ja itsensä kehittämiseen.
