Family and Couples Therapy in Finland

HELSINKI - June 15, 2023 - PRLog -- Are you and/or your partner new to Finland? Are you currently in an intercultural relationship? While all couples may face hardships such as communication difficulties, misunderstanding, lack of closeness, or even infidelity, immigrant/expat and intercultural couples often find themselves burdened with additional challenges. It is a well-known and sad fact that divorces are more common among immigrant and intercultural couples.

According to Statistics Finland, in 2018, the divorce rate for those with a foreign background was nearly double that of native Finns, and the rate for intercultural couples was as high as over four times that of homogamous Finnish couples!

Expats and immigrants try to adjust to life in a new country- often without a support network. The resulting stress and loneliness can lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems, and may also cause an added strain on even otherwise healthy relationships. When one or both partners are struggling with these challenges- culture shock, integrating into a new country, finding work, learning a new language, etc., the relationship can suffer as a result.
