Evgenia Louhivuori

I work with adults who experience anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. This often includes relocation, burnout, loss, separation, motherhood-related challenges, or periods when identity and direction feel unclear. Many people come to me not because something is visibly “wrong,” but because there is a quiet inner sense that something doesn’t feel right anymore - even if life looks fine on the outside. This feeling is often an important and meaningful starting point for our work together. How I Work: I work as a psychologist in a Gestalt and integrative approach, which means that our work is grounded in awareness, lived experience, and what is happening for you here and now. In sessions, we gently explore not only what you think about your life, but also what you feel, sense, and live through: - emotions that come up again and again - bodily signals that often speak before words do - patterns in relationships and ways of being with others - how you treat yourself, set boundaries, and respond to challenges in the present moment I offer a safe, confidential, and emotionally responsive space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or rush toward change. We move at your pace, with respect for your inner rhythm and your readiness. This work is not about “fixing” you. It is about developing deeper awareness, self-support, and the capacity to relate to yourself and your life in a more authentic and grounded way - so that change can unfold naturally and sustainably. What Clients Often Bring: Clients seek my support when they: - feel anxious, chronically tense, or emotionally overwhelmed - experience burnout, exhaustion, or loss of vitality - struggle with suppressed or unexpressed emotions - feel lonely, disconnected, or unseen - face difficulties in relationships — with partners, family members, parents, or themselves A distinct area of my practice includes emotional challenges related to motherhood, as well as psychological support during pregnancy planning and preparation for childbirth.
