Päivi Griffiths

Päivi Griffiths is a registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also supports those exploring life purpose and dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns and social anxiety.

Päivi uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach. That means conversations focus on the person's own perspective and choices. Sessions are led by what the client brings, and the counsellor listens, reflects and asks questions that help people clarify what matters to them.

In practical terms Päivi helps people talk through relationship problems, communication and commitment worries, and the fallout of divorce or separation. She also works with body image, codependency and the guilt or shame that can follow traumatic experiences. People struggling with isolation or low self-love are a common focus.

Her work is informed by six years of practice and her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). That registration is recorded as BACP. She speaks English, Finnish and Swedish, which can help when cultural background or language matters in the conversation.

For someone unsure what comes next, Päivi aims to help unpack what feels stuck and to support practical next steps. To begin a working relationship the site’s booking flow asks a few questions and then schedules an initial session.

Client-centred work and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and choices. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and asks questions to help clarify feelings and options. This approach is often useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship doubts, life purpose and anxiety.

The right therapeutic approach is usually decided together. Päivi will work with the client to identify goals, try ways of working that suit them, and adjust the approach as needed. That collaboration helps make sessions practical and relevant to everyday decisions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people choose a quieter moment for a session. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone better, and avoid the need to be on camera for the full meeting if that helps them engage.
