IN OUR SHORT THERAPY WE GO DEEPER THAN THE SURFACE

We all accumulate burdens and face difficult situations in life . At Shortum, we have developed short therapies for exactly such situations: whether you find yourself easily tired at work, you are just processing life instead of living it, or you may have drifted into a crisis in your relationship. Below you can find the short therapy packages developed by us at Shortum. If your own situation doesn’t seem to match any of these, don’t worry! We can always tailor the short therapy to suit your exact needs.

BURNT OUT?

You will learn to understand how you ended up in this situation, what has led to your feeling of exhaustion and how you can build a more meaningful life, at work and at home.

SLEEPLESSNESS?

In this well-built sleep therapy package, you will learn how to ensure the best possible sleep for you.

DEPRESSED?

Together we look for both concrete ways to lift your spirits and consider what kind of life you want to live.

FACING A CRISIS?

At Shortum you will find an empathetic person who will walk alongside you exactly for the journey, as you feel is necessary.

SOCIAL ANXIETY?

Anxiety is often a demanding companion. Do you perhaps demand too much of yourself? Or do you think others demand a lot from you?

PANICKING?

Together we look for new ways to approach and act in panic-producing situations.

COUPLES THERAPY

In our Couples Therapy you will go through fundamental reflections and exercises which will increase your mutual understanding and interaction. The therapy can be conducted alone or with a partner.

RAINBOW THERAPY

You are perhaps wondering how to find ways to strengthen your understanding of self and gain more self-confidence? We also provide counselling for your loved ones and parents who seek support for issues that are unique to sexual or gender minorities.

NEUROPSYCHIATRIC ISSUES?

Do you feel like you are constantly messing up and keep getting bad feedback from your surroundings? We help you find your strengths and use them in your everyday life.

A SHORT FUSE?

Do you find yourself in situations time after time, where you end up blowing your fuse? Is your behaviour reckless in those situations and you do things you might regret later? Have your relationships suffered from your “explosions” or from the ways you act when you lose your temper?

IN A CRISIS, PROBLEM IN A RELATIONSHIPS, AT A CROSSROAD IN LIFE?

WE ALL HAVE SITUATIONS IN LIFE THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SOLVE ON OUR OWN. IN SUCH A SITUATION, EXTERNAL HELP CAN BRING GREAT RELIEF, GIVE TOOLS TO LIFE, AND HELP WORKING TOWARDS YOUR GENUINE SELF.

IS SHORT THERAPY FOR ME?

SHORT THERAPY IS ALWAYS TAILORED TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS. TYPICALLY, SHORT THERAPY INVOLVES 5-20 SESSIONS. YOU DO NOT NEED A REFERRAL AND YOU CAN START STRAIGHT AWAY!

Only a few sessions can clarify the thoughts and help to build a new understanding and direction in life. At times we make miracles happen during short therapy. The result may be a genuinely new approach to your own life, thoughts and emotions.

At Shortum, the short therapies are provided by healthcare professionals such as psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses. All our professionals are trained in the short therapy approach. We are the experts in short therapy in Finland and you can trust us to provide you with the best service in the field.

A shorter therapy may be enough when the necessary elements for change are found. The most important elements are a good working relationship with the therapist, the courage to go deeper than the surface, and the desire and willingness to change the way of thinking and doing things. Short therapy does not try to fix all the issues at once, instead it focuses on one or two issues at a time. 

Short therapy can be a step towards longer rehabilitative psychotherapy supported by Kela.
