Mentoring
I am not here to tell you how to live. I share what life has taught me — through its turns, mistakes, difficult moments and beautiful discoveries.
Mentoring, and life mentoring in particular, is deeply personal. It is a space where I share not only knowledge, but also lived experience, the lessons life has brought me and the reflections that have grown out of them.
I am not a mentor because I have an answer to every question. I am a mentor because I have lived through situations that may, in some way, be part of your story today. Perhaps something from my experience can make your path a little easier, calmer, or simply less lonely.
Career mentoring — especially for immigrants in Finland
Moving to another country and rebuilding your career can be an enormous challenge. I know that from personal experience.
I moved to Finland at the age of 40 and, professionally, had to begin from scratch. I learned the language, adapted to a new reality, got to know the Finnish labour market and work culture, changed professional direction and rebuilt my career step by step.
Today I have several years of HR experience and a job that I find meaningful. I remember how much uncertainty, frustration, urgency and self-doubt can appear along the way.
If you are an immigrant in Finland looking for a job, wondering how to navigate the Finnish job market, how to make use of your previous experience, how to change fields or how to rebuild your professional path, I can share what my own journey has taught me.
My career mentoring also draws on my HR background. I can help you strengthen your CV and cover letter, and show you how to shape your LinkedIn profile so that it becomes a useful part of your job-search strategy.
I do not promise shortcuts or magic solutions. What I can offer is another perspective, practical experience and a thoughtful conversation about options that make sense for you.
Book a mentoring sessionIndividual interview preparation
If you have been invited to an interview, that is already an achievement. Out of many applicants, someone saw potential in you and decided they would like to know more.
Now you have a valuable opportunity to show who you are, what you can do and the value you could bring to the organisation. It is a moment to tell your professional story, communicate your strengths and help the interviewers understand why investing in you may be the right choice.
Even with strong experience and the right skills, interviews can bring a great deal of stress and uncertainty. That is why I also offer individual interview preparation combining coaching with career mentoring.
On one side, we work on you: your confidence, the way you talk about your strengths and experience, and how you communicate your value effectively and authentically.
On the other, I bring my HR and recruitment experience. I share practical guidance on what to pay attention to, how to prepare for common questions, how to talk about your competencies and experience, and how to avoid typical interview traps.
Book individual interview preparationACoA mentoring
This is an important part of my story, but today I know that it is not my whole story and it does not define either me or my life.
I want to be very clear about one thing: neither coaching nor mentoring is a substitute for psychotherapy. Therapy was essential and transformative in my own healing process, and it may be the right form of support for you too. If you need psychotherapy, I strongly encourage you to seek support from a qualified professional.
What I can offer in this area is understanding from the perspective of someone who has walked this road, together with the experience I gained while rebuilding myself step by step. I can share how I reached a place where ACoA remains an important part of my history — but only one part — and how I learned to celebrate my life beyond it.
Book a mentoring sessionThoughtful parenting mentoring
Parenting — especially during the teenage years — can feel like a rollercoaster with no safety bar. There are boundaries to set and reset, emotions running high and days when the goal seems to be simply to make it through without losing your mind. But it is also about building a relationship: one that can become a source of stress, frustration, loneliness and pain, or something deeply beautiful — closeness, trust, mutual respect, learning from one another, unconditional love and a friendship that continues long after a child has left the nest.
My son is now a wonderful, wise and valuable man. I do not know how much of that is because of me, but I do know how much he has shaped the person I am today.
If you would like to talk about building a close, respectful and meaningful relationship with your child, I can share what my own experience has taught me.
