Päivi Griffiths, BACP

Päivi Griffiths is a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor who brings six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She specialises in supporting people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence issues, and difficulties in relationships. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image, codependency, commitment struggles, communication problems, divorce and separation, family difficulties, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, multicultural concerns, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.

Päivi works from a client-centered approach, which places the individual’s perspective and strengths at the heart of the therapeutic process. She believes people are the experts on their own stories and that building on existing strengths can help when facing painful or challenging life experiences. Beginning therapy often requires courage, and she aims to offer steady, nonjudgmental support as people take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Credentialed through BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Päivi combines her UK-based training and experience with a calm, empathetic style. She is able to provide therapy in English, Finnish, and Swedish, which can help clients feel understood in the language that best suits them. Her focus is on creating a respectful therapeutic relationship and helping clients clarify goals, process difficult emotions, and build practical ways to cope and move forward.
