MY APPROACH

Understanding & Acceptance

We bring into awareness the patterns of thinking and acting that have begun to limit your life.
Once they become conscious, they can be influenced and changed.

We build a way of relating to yourself with greater understanding and acceptance.

As insight deepens, self-trust begins to grow — along with the sense that you can handle what comes your way.

Clarity & Direction

The process begins with a clear assessment of your current situation.
We take the time to examine what is weighing on you, what you are aiming for, and where you feel uncertain.

We structure the bigger picture so that what truly matters stands out from the background noise.
Not everything needs to be solved at once — we focus on what will move you forward now.

Clarity emerges when things are placed in the right perspective and given direction.

Concrete progress

We set a clear direction and move toward it in a structured way.
At the end of each session, we agree on practical actions for you to implement.

Exercises and assignments ensure that progress continues between sessions.
Our work is goal-oriented and mindful of both your time and investment.

Change comes from action, not insight alone.
The aim is for you to stand confidently on your own.

SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY

When life feels heavy or your direction becomes unclear, we begin by bringing clarity to your situation.
Our work is grounded in solution-focused brief therapy—rather than analyzing problems in depth, we focus on what will move you forward.

We look at what maintains the pressure and what is already working. Together, we strengthen your understanding of your patterns of thinking and acting while building confidence in your ability to handle challenges.

The process is conversational, goal-oriented, and practical. Each session has a clear direction, and progress becomes visible through concrete changes in your daily life.

The aim is not a perfect life but a clearer relationship with yourself—and the ability to move forward even in the face of uncertainty.

SOLUTION-FOCUSED COACHING

When you know you want to move forward—but your direction needs clarity.

Solution-Focused Coaching is grounded in solution-focused principles. Rather than dwelling on problems, we focus on defining what you want to build and how to move toward it in a practical way.

The process is structured, goal-oriented, and forward-focused. We clarify what you are aiming for, why it matters, and what concrete steps will take you there.

Each session leads to practical action.
You leave with clear next steps and the structure to stay accountable between sessions.

This is not motivational talk. It is focused, intentional work that strengthens your thinking, your decision-making, and your ability to follow through.

The aim is steady progress—and a direction that feels truly your own.

"In Tara's therapy, I felt seen, equal, supported, and invited back into society, which were huge experiences compared to my daily life.

Even the first call with Tara brought immense encouragement, enthusiasm, and hope for the future, whereas before, it had felt like an overwhelming burden.

I’ve already started actively telling others about Tara <3"

TESTIMONIALS

"I got exactly what I hoped for.

Tara Vallenius was absolutely brilliant in her role. I felt that Tara was with me throughout the whole process, even though we weren’t in daily contact. She always gave me the advice I needed and encouraged me to move forward. Even though I already had good confidence in myself, Tara strengthened it even more. Tara is skilled, supportive, present, and encouraging. She is also wonderfully positive and joyful."

"I've had four sessions of solution-focused brief therapy with Tara, and I couldn't be more satisfied! At first, I was a bit skeptical about how the sessions would work remotely over the phone instead of, for example, via video. However, it exceeded my expectations—Tara is exceptionally skilled and professional in what she does, and she creates a safe and comfortable atmosphere in every session.

These four sessions gave me an incredible amount of help and concrete, practical actions to support my situation, and they strengthened my overall mental well-being. I had some powerful insights and heard deeply respectful and meaningful words that had a significant impact on me.

The effect on my daily life has been immeasurably valuable, supporting my personal growth and mental wellness. Altogether, these four sessions gave me a great sense of hope for the future, brought light into my everyday life, and equipped me with tools to keep moving forward."
