Finnish is hard. Talking about this is harder.
Therapy in English, online, wherever in Finland you live. No referral, no waiting list.
Finnish is famously difficult, and most people who move here for work never reach the fluency that hard conversations demand.

Why therapy in English
Nobody learns Finnish fast enough for a bad year
Finnish is one of the harder languages to learn, and the people who move here for work mostly live in English — capably, for years, without ever getting near the fluency that talking about grief or dread would require. There's no shame in that, and no reason to attempt therapy in a language you're still fighting.
In English you can say the thing plainly. Online, you choose from everyone working in English and meet from home, through the long dark winter when it's most needed.
What we work with
What brings people here
Loneliness and isolation
When your social life is made entirely of colleagues, and everyone who knew you before is in another time zone.
Anxiety and chronic stress
Visas, contracts, rent, the low hum of living somewhere you could be asked to leave.
Depression and flatness
Especially the kind that is hard to name, because on paper the move worked.
Identity and belonging
Caught between where you're from and where you live, between who you were and whoever this is now.
Relationships and family
Including the strain of having moved together — or of having moved without them.
Homesickness and grief
For people, for a former life, for the version of yourself that existed before you left.
This is not a complete list. If you're struggling with something that isn't here, get in touch anyway. Therapy begins with you, not with a category — and it doesn't require you to have found the right word for it first.
How it works
Three steps, no referral
Choose your therapist, pick a time in your own zone, meet by video from home. No referral, no Finnish required.
About Wefeel
What Wefeel is — and what it isn't
Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.
We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.
Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.
If you need help right now
Wefeel is not a crisis service
If you are thinking about ending your life, or you are afraid of what you might do, please don't wait for an appointment. Emergency services answer at any hour, free of charge, and in English.

Common questions
Do I need to speak Finnish?
No — that is the point. Sessions are in English, and so is everything on this site.
Do I need a referral?
No. You arrange the session directly with the therapist. There is no referral to organise and no list to join.
My therapist isn't in Finland. Does that matter?
Sessions are online, so location matters less than fit. Each therapist's profile shows where they are qualified to practise. If it matters for your situation, ask them before you book — they will tell you.
Is it confidential?
Yes. What you say to your therapist stays between the two of you, subject to the same legal and professional limits that apply wherever your therapist practises.
