About Me

I’m Joonas Pekka Vehvilainen, an Accredited BACP Counsellor (MSc) and Advanced Practitioner Member of Addiction Professionals, and I support younger adults (18-45) on their path toward lasting change and recovery.

My Background

A Calm, Attentive Space to Begin Again

I provide a grounded, compassionate approach that blends science with empathy, ideal for people who value practical tools, emotional depth, and a non-judgmental space to grow.

My Background

How Can I Help You?

Addiction Recovery

Alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, food-addiction can take many forms, but change is always possible. My work is grounded in both professional and academic experience in addiction neuroscience. Whether you’re just starting to question your use or are ready for full recovery, I will tailor your therapy to your needs.

Depression & Low Mood

Depression distorts reality and drains motivation. We’ll explore what’s weighing you down and focus on achievable steps that bring relief, clarity, and purpose.

Trauma & PTSD

Traumatic experiences can quietly shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. My approach helps you understand how trauma affects your mind and body, and gently guides you toward healing—at your own pace.

Low Motivation

Feeling stuck or disconnected from your goals? Whether it’s burnout, addiction recovery, or post-trauma fatigue, I help clients rebuild motivation and reconnect with meaning in their lives.

Anxiety

When life feels overwhelming, my therapy offers tools to manage emotions, break negative cycles, and regain calmness. Together, we’ll build coping skills that work in real life—not just in theory.

Stress

Stress can be defined as having uncontrollable levels of negative emotions. Being able to manage the problems and the emotions that come with stress is an important part of my therapy sessions.
