About Päivi
Päivi Griffiths offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She introduces a steady, accepting presence and helps clients untangle relationship and self-worth problems. Päivi speaks English, Finnish and Swedish and is based in the United Kingdom.
She works from a belief that each person knows their story best. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and on building small, usable steps forward.
Background and approach
Conversations are simple and focused rather than full of jargon or long theoretical explanations. Over six years of professional work have centred on issues such as trauma and abuse, depression, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress. Päivi also supports people facing abandonment fears, attachment concerns, body image struggles and codependency.
Relationship difficulties, communication problems and the impact of separation or divorce are commonly discussed topics. Päivi practises client-centred therapy, which emphasises listening and understanding the client's perspective. This approach suits people who want a non-directive space to think things through and make their own decisions at their own pace.
She aims to offer warmth and acceptance so clients feel able to explore hard feelings. Practical arrangements and costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
When someone prefers a conversational, non-directive style, client-centred work helps them find their own solutions. The therapist and client decide together how to proceed, adapting the pace and focus as needs change. This collaborative way of working makes it easier to try different formats and approaches until the best fit is found.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face contact for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be good when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter reflections, quick support between appointments or people who prefer writing over speaking.
These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. Registered and accredited professionals can use them to provide steady, ongoing support from different locations, and the therapist will help tailor format and approach to practical needs and personal preferences.
