About Päivi
Päivi Griffiths welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties. She works with worries that include trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns and relationship strain. Päivi writes in a calm, straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone who reaches out.
She uses a client-centred approach that places the person's own experience at the heart of the work. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting what matters to the client and helping them find their own solutions. Päivi offers steady support while people talk through painful memories, commitment worries, codependency or challenges with communication.
Across six years of practice in the United Kingdom she has supported people dealing with grief, isolation, body image struggles and ideas about life purpose. Her practice also addresses cultural and multicultural concerns, as well as specific issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and post-traumatic stress.
Päivi speaks English, Finnish and Swedish, which can help when language and cultural background shape how someone experiences distress. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP in her credentials.
Her sessions aim to be practical and person-focused. Päivi helps people develop clearer boundaries, improve communication and rebuild self-worth. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to match with her and arrange their first appointment.
Client-centred care and online therapy
Client-centred therapy puts the person's own experience first. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what she hears and helps the person find their own way forward. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship confusion and life direction.In conversation-focused work the aim is to build understanding through steady, empathic listening. That can help when someone is dealing with abandonment worries, attachment issues or the aftereffects of trauma by allowing difficult feelings to be named and made sense of.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Päivi will work with each person to decide which way of working fits best with their goals, needs and preferences. She encourages open discussion about what is helpful and what might be changed as therapy progresses.
