English-speaking therapists in Turku

Therapy in English, in Turku

No referral, no waiting list, no doing this in Finnish.

Turku is Finland's oldest city, with a strong university pull and an international student community living in English.

Turku's riverside — English-speaking therapy in Turku

Why it matters here

The old capital, young and international

Turku, Finland's former capital, is shaped by its universities and a steady international student population living in English. Being far from home during studies, in a hard-to-learn language, through long winters, is a common reason people first seek support — and local English-speaking options are limited. Online, you choose from everyone working in English and meet from home.

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.

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.

Academic pressure is a real reason

You don't need to be in crisis to talk to someone.

Reading

Articles about anxiety, sleep, grief, burnout and the rest of it — written by the people you can book a session with.
