KELA approval for couples psychotherapy

I am a midwife and a public health nurse by training, and I have also trained as a sex therapist and couples psychotherapist. My therapeutic framework consists of integrative, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) and emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT). You can come to appointments together or alone. My work experience comes from the delivery room, various maternity and child health clinics and the fertility clinic as well as sex and couples psychotherapy.
