For international clients
General information
Who can come?
All services are available to all Finnish residents over 18. The process is at your own pace, it can be long and regular, short, or irregular. You don’t have to wonder whether you are “too sick” or “too healthy”, or if you have a “right” to come and process whatever is on your mind. You do.
Private online consultations are offered internationally. They can be helpful, although official healthcare services are limited to Finnish residents due to insurance policy.
Services are in Finnish and English.
Individual clients
Mielenlaulu offers low-threshold councelling and brief therapy for self-paying clients. You don’t need a diagnosis or a referral. It’s ok if you do, though. You are met as you are.
Mielenlaulu has online and mobile services. In-person days are organized in Tampere and Turku depending on demand. Nature-assisted sessions are available in Toijala, and home visits, in the Tampere and Hämeenlinna regions.
Payment options for Finnish residents are an invoice after the session or credit/debit upon booking. The services are not Kela-reimbursable.
Clients who live permanently outside Finland will be asked to pay by card upon booking.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so well in advance. Changes can be made up to 24 h before the scheduled time, unless a force majeure prevents it. Missed appointments or late cancellations will be charged in full (100 %).
Healthcare services are documented manually with discretion and the records are safekept in a private repository. They aren’t entered into any digital patient systems or Kanta. There’s no need to worry about sensitive information ending up in the wrong hands.
Organizations
Mielenlaulu provides consultation and advisory services for healthcare professionals (clinical consultations) as well as organizations from other fields. Consultation meetings can be arranged online or at your premises within the Tampere and Hämeenlinna regions. This service is not offered internationally.
A limited number of reduced rate appointments are offered for financially struggling freelance artists and scholars, students, and the unemployed. Please do not hesitate to get in touch, share your situation, and ask more. I will get back to you soon.
Psychologist’s appointment
An appointment is the “basic unit” of a psychologist service.
You’re welcome to attend at any time and with any concern, whether for a single session or several ongoing meetings. You set the pace.
Individual appointments can be arranged online, as home visits, or in nature. Below you’ll find details about different appointment formats.
Appointments can include, e.g., supportive conversation and reflection on your life situation, experiences, feelings, and the phenomena of your mind. The goal is to foster compassionate self-understanding and to find constructive new perspectives.
Appointments are healthcare, and thus, they are not available internationally. Temporary travelling abroad is not a problem for Finnish residents. If you life outside Finland, click here.

Brief therapy
A process of 5–20 sessions
Brief therapy is a fixed-duration psychosocial treatment for mild or moderate mental distress, for processing a specific problem, or to support stressful situations. The work centers around a selected main theme with a realistic goal, and progress is gently monitored.
Brief therapy can address difficulties with, e.g., mood, anxiety, or self-image, or it can offer support in life transitions.
Brief therapy can also be applied to facilitate psychedelic or spiritual integration, if you have gone through or are planning such an experience.
Mielenlaulu’s brief therapy is integrative, meaning it draws on a combination of therapeutic approaches. The methods are primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), depending on the client’s needs. Sessions include discussion and different exercises. “Homework” may be given. The aim is to cultivate compassionate self-understanding, awareness skills, and practical tools for living a meaningful life true to your traits and values.
The sessions are recommended at 1–2 week intervals to maintain continuity. If you are in acute burnout and really exhausted, supportive appointments at your own pace may be a better option.
Therapy session
110 € / 60 min.
Therapy sessions can
be held online or through
mobile in-person services.
For home visits, an additional travel fee of 50 € is added to the base rate for destinations within a 35 km radius from Toijala. If the destination is further than that, a mileage compensation of 0,59 € / km is added for the exceeding part of the journey.
Brief therapy starts with a normal online appointment. In this first session, we will map your situation, needs, and wishes, and outline the process structure, such as the topic and duration. This initial appointment does not obligate you to anything. You are free to consider whether you wish to continue with the therapy process.

No matter where you live, you’re most welcome to meet online and discuss what’s on your mind. As a consultation client, you can receive support, new perspectives and guidance from a professional psychologist. You can visit once or several times.
Please note that consultations are expert services, not healthcare (i.e., not covered by professional liability insurance). Thus, a consultation client is not a patient, which may sometimes limit the ways that some deeply personal issues can be processed. This, however, allows for the service to be provided internationally.
If you’d like to talk to a psychologist or ask about my fields of specialty, please do not hesitate to get in touch. If you need actual healthcare, please seek it in your country of residence.
Organizations (Finland)
In Finland, consultation services are offered to organizations such as companies and associations of all fields. The service is not healthcare.
A consultation can include advisory discussion and reflective support on your topic in question. This can mean sharing expert knowledge in general terms or applying it to, for example, improving workplace conditions.
A written summary can be purchased separately.
