Our assessment of the need for treatment is unfortunately experiencing very high demand at the moment. Some service forms in the Self online service are temporarily unavailable. If the form you need is not available, please contact us by phone. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

The StressLess coaching course is designed to teach you to adopt a new attitude to difficult thoughts and to accept and deal with difficult emotions. With the group’s support, you’ll learn how to live life your way. If you are experiencing difficult thoughts, emotions and stress, join our StressLess coaching course.

What is StressLess coaching?

StressLess coaching will teach you about mindfulness, dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions, the balance between acceptance and change, and working towards your values. It’s based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), in Finland abbreviated HOT, and works as early intervention.

Could StressLess coaching be for you?

  • StressLess coaching provides early support. It’s not therapy or psychiatric treatment. Prior experience of practising mindfulness is not required.
  • You’ll need to attend all group sessions and do the exercises between the sessions.

Implementation

  • Groups can be organized both remotely and locally.
  • 8-12 students are enrolled in each group.
  • A group convenes 8 times, usually once a week, 1.5 hours at a time. Please check with the group leader for exact meeting weeks and days, as some of the groups may have break weeks. 
  • We recommend registering for the group two weeks before the group’s start date. For later registrations, we cannot guarantee with certainty that our group leader will have time to contact you before the group starts.
  • If you will be absent, please remember to notify a group leader well in advance.
