About Päivi
Päivi Griffiths offers calm, practical support for people struggling with depression, anxiety and stress. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English as well as Finnish and Swedish. Päivi writes in a straightforward way and focuses on helping people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.
Päivi uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience first. Conversations tend to follow the client's concerns and pace rather than a strict script.
Background and approach
She aims to create space for honest talking and for people to discover their own strengths and choices. In sessions Päivi listens for what matters most and helps people make small, realistic changes. She draws attention to patterns around relationships, self-worth and coping after difficult events.
Practical topics often include communication, setting boundaries and reducing overwhelming worry. Her background includes six years of professional practice in the UK and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. This means she works within recognised professional standards in the UK while focusing on straightforward, respectful care.
Päivi is comfortable supporting people with trauma, relationship strain, body image and attachment or abandonment concerns. She encourages people to take the first step at their own pace and helps them build clearer thinking and kinder self-talk over time.

Approaches Päivi lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She aims to work together with each person to find the best way forward. That means discussing goals, trying different ways of working and choosing formats that fit the person's needs and preferences. The therapist treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision rather than a fixed prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more visual contact helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when video is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, structured exercises or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
