An English-speaking Therapist and Relationship Specialist in Helsinki – Clinical Sexologist Christina Lindea Saarinen
You will be met as a unique human being and treated with respect regardless of your situation, experiences, or orientation. You are welcome to therapy alone or with a partner.
Cultivating empathy and attuned connection between the client and the therapist are at the heart of therapy.
Tuning into the other’s world means being curious and sensitive to their identities and what they bring to the therapeutic work.
People need different kinds of support at other times. A person-centered approach focuses on the human being and our unique circumstances. This can deliver a positive and lasting client outcome.
My holistic approach combines evidence-based sexual medicine with various therapy approaches, along with the timeless Eastern methods. This way, we look beyond the symptoms, heal underlying causes, and support the whole person’s well-being.
I have spent more than two decades helping individuals and couples solve sex- and non-sex-related relationship problems via counseling. At times, as a pioneering English-speaking, expat private practice female sexologist therapist in an ethnically diverse international community abroad.
My long work experience abroad and studies in various programs have given me the humility to think creatively and become an adept problem solver.
Now, I am continuing to share my clinical experience in sexology (non-physician) and sexual medicine with excellent outcomes as a best-practice psychosexual therapist in Finland.
I am offering holistic assessment and support for relating and sexuality-related concerns and help local and expat individuals and their partners. They contact me seeking Finland-based individual sex therapy and counseling, emotionally focused couple therapy, relational and relationship skills coaching, and pleasure-based clinical adult sex education.
They are curious about enhancing their love lives, addressing challenges in love and intimacy, and learning more about themselves.

Disorders of orgasm and ejaculation: early ejaculation, so-called rapid climax or ’premature ejaculation,’ difficulty to ejaculate, inhibited or delayed ejaculation, and Death Grip Syndrome (DGS).
Psychosexual challenges: such as sex-related anxieties, sexual performance anxiety, shame, inhibitions, body image challenges, sexual trauma, problematic sexual behavior (so-called porn addiction, sex addiction, hypersexuality, and compulsive sexual behavior), orientation, identity, and sexuality beyond the norm.
Relational challenges, such as sexual or relationship dissatisfaction, loss of intimacy, trust or connection, desire discrepancy, sexless couple, infertility, infidelity, separation, and divorce.
