Mika Sillanpää is a compassionate counsellor with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through trauma, chronic illness, addiction, and mental health challenges. He offers trauma-informed, client-centred counselling to those living with complex health conditions and the related emotional burdens such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, identity changes, and relational issues.
Mika uses evidence-based methods, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation, to help clients build resilience, achieve emotional stability, and develop effective coping strategies during periods of medical uncertainty and life transitions. With international experience in clinical leadership, program development, and multidisciplinary collaboration across hospital, residential, and community settings, he is dedicated to providing a supportive and reassuring presence. Known for his empathetic approach, strong clinical judgment, and commitment to empowering clients, Mika strives to foster lasting emotional well-being and a meaningful, fulfilling life.
The first step would be to contact me to arrange for a brief telephone assessment to discuss the goals of therapy, ask any questions you may wish to clarify, and to get a better sense of which counsellor would best suit your needs. Once that is established, the counsellor would set up the first meeting.
