therapy and coaching
Guiding you towards authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling life.
holistic approach
At SkyLaine, true well-being is seen as encompassing every aspect of you – your mind, body, relationships, and spirit. Through therapy or coaching, you'll be supported in creating a more conscious and meaningful life, where you can face change and obstacles with courage and openness. Together, we'll explore life's fundamental questions, such as mortality, uncertainty, and impermanence. True growth stems from understanding yourself deeply – your emotions, thoughts, experiences, and the values that shape your world. By exploring these aspects of yourself and engaging with life's deeper questions, you can discover a profound sense of meaning and purpose. With a clearer understanding and purpose, you can draw wisdom from the past and build a future that is truly worth living.
Seela leppänen
I'm Seela, a licensed psychologist, coach, and the founder of SkyLaine. In addition to my psychology degree, I have completed training programs in various evidence-based therapies and solution-focused coaching. I'm also a certified mindfulness instructor and yoga teacher. Currently, I'm pursuing a doctorate in psychology and psychotherapy, which will also qualify me as a psychotherapist. My therapeutic approach is integrative, but my research focuses on existential psychotherapy. My ongoing studies and research fuel my passion for helping people lead more meaningful, authentic, and fulfilling lives.
Over the past decade, I've worked in various psychiatric outpatient clinics and wards, conducting psychological assessments and interventions. I have gained experience in treating mood and anxiety disorders, addictions, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and trauma-related symptoms. My recent focus has been on designing and implementing online therapy. I've supported clients in coping with burnout, life crises, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, I've helped them navigate life transitions, explore questions about the meaning of life, and achieve their goals in their studies, careers, and personal lives.
In essence, I believe in the remarkable potential within each person – a capacity for growth, resilience, and gaining a deeper understanding of their place in the world. I focus on creating an open, warm, and genuine atmosphere in our sessions, allowing you to share your experiences and feelings just as they are. Each session is tailored to your individual needs. I offer in-person appointments at the SkyLaine office in Helsinki and Mehiläinen Therapy Clinic, as well as virtual sessions for clients worldwide.

“Thank you, Seela, for absolutely everything! I feel so fortunate that you were my therapist during this process. I felt completely safe sharing even the most painful things with you, surrounded by your understanding and professionalism. Without you, the past year would have been much more difficult, miserable, and challenging. You helped me get back on my feet and feel much better. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again!”

“Seela was the perfect coach for me. Her warm and encouraging attitude created a safe atmosphere. I truly felt heard, and the embodiment exercises incorporated into the coaching sessions deepened the whole experience and helped me take my thoughts to a new level. Before the coaching, I had difficulty getting things done, but now I have learned to recognize my own thoughts and feelings better and I can focus on what's important. Thanks to the coaching, I finally started working towards my career goals. I am truly grateful to Seela for helping me find my inner motivation!”
