About Our Story
Hi, I’m Tiina. I am a professional counsellor with a background in corporate finance and commerce. My decision to retrain as a counsellor and make a career pivot came from deeply personal experience.
When my partner experienced burnout and depression, I found myself unsure of how to respond, how to relate, or how to help. At first, I did not fully understand the seriousness of what they were going through. As the depression deepened, I became increasingly concerned and committed to learning more — seeking to better understand mental health, relationships, emotional wellbeing, and how to support someone through difficult times.
At the same time, I found myself navigating a stage of life where many people experience significant change and reinvention. Long-term relationships shift or end, children grow up and become more independent, friendships evolve, and people often find themselves rebuilding parts of life — whether through dating, making new connections, rediscovering interests, or creating a new sense of home and identity. Starting over in your late 40s can feel very different from starting over in your 20s.
These experiences not only changed my perspective, but ultimately changed the direction of my life. They led me to counselling — a profession where I now support individuals, couples, and families with empathy, curiosity, and practical understanding, drawing from both professional training and lived experience.
