Solution-Focused Brief Therapist
Meril Viitanen

Welcome!

I’m Meril, a Solution-Focused Brief Therapist.

At times, life can feel overwhelming. Your thoughts may become heavy, or you may find yourself searching for direction. In moments like these, having someone who truly listens can make a meaningful difference. You don’t have to navigate everything on your own.

I offer brief therapy in Turku as well as online. You are welcome exactly as you are, without pressure to explain everything perfectly or to have all the answers.

My approach is calm, warm, and attentive. Creating a safe and respectful space is at the heart of my work. Together, we can explore your situation, discover new perspectives, and strengthen the inner resources that support your wellbeing.

What is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is a practical and goal-oriented approach that helps you move forward in times of challenge. Rather than focusing extensively on the origins of problems, we concentrate on what is already working and how meaningful change can begin.

Your strengths, experiences, and hopes guide the process. Together, we identify realistic steps that support a more balanced daily life, improved coping, stronger self-trust, and greater emotional clarity.

 

When can Brief Therapy help?

✅ Stress and burnout
✅ Self-esteem and coping
✅ Life transitions
✅ Relationships and everyday challenges
✅ Searching for meaning in life

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone

From my clients

We men rarely have someone to talk to on a deep level during times of separation. Yet having someone to talk to can be invaluable in making sense of things in a new life situation. For that purpose, it is truly in its place.
I can’t really think of anyone it wouldn’t be suitable for. In our case, the topics were the loss of an adult child and work-related burnout.
Meril was a truly excellent therapist — understanding, encouraging, and cheerful. I genuinely felt heard.
