JENNI HUHTALA
PSYCHOTHERAPIST, INFERTILITY AND MISCARRIAGE
I work with clients suffering from unintentional infertility and/or miscarriages. I provide support with the mental stress caused by ongoing attempts at pregnancy, infertility treatments and the adoption process. I also offer counselling to help deal with the impact of these issues on your relationship and the wide range of the often painful emotions associated with infertility. Sometimes the experience of infertility does not end with having a child, but previously experienced infertility or recurrent miscarriages can also in some way characterize parenting. I am happy to answer questions about the feelings and mental recovery caused by the infertility and miscarriage crisis and the related relationship problems.
JENNI HUHTALA
FAMILY, RELATIONSHIP AND SEXUAL THERAPIST
In my work as a sex therapist, I face many different problems related to sexuality and sex. At its best, sexuality is a positive energy and sex is an important part of a relationship, but it can also be associated with confusion, anxiety, and fears. Some of the most common challenges I face are the different sexual desires in a relationship, as well as the uncertainties related to body image or sexual self-esteem. I regularly deal with questions about sexuality and sex life during periods of trying to conceive, infertility crisis and in general during pregnancy and the postpartum period with a small baby. I am happy to answer all sorts of questions about sexuality and relationships.
