About Päivi

Päivi Griffiths is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She listens without judgement and supports clients working through trauma and abuse. Päivi works with each person as an individual and respects their strengths and experience.

Päivi uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the conversation focused on the person's needs. Sessions aim to make talking easier, to clarify what matters most, and to find practical steps forward.

Background and approach

She makes space for difficult emotions while helping people notice their own resources. Her background includes six years of practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). That experience informs a calm, steady approach to tricky situations like post-traumatic stress, long-term worry, and low self-esteem.

Päivi also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and codependency issues, and the impact of divorce and family problems. She speaks English, Finnish and Swedish, which can help when cultural context or language matters. Sessions can focus on improving communication, managing social anxiety, or rebuilding confidence after painful events.

Päivi encourages small, manageable changes so progress feels realistic. If someone prefers to work through things online, she offers several remote formats to suit different needs.

Ways of working Päivi names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and strengths. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and offers unconditional positive regard. This way of working suits people who want space to tell their story and to find their own solutions for issues like anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

Päivi will work collaboratively to find the approach that fits best. She discusses goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adjusts the way she works as the relationship develops. Finding the right style is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
