Mr Jesse W. K. Rantamaki

Professional Nurse

“I offer talking therapy formed around the needs and desires of clients, determined case by case. I specialize in treating addiction, trauma, and psychosis, although, I have a strong interest and commitment in assisting those with any complex and severe issues.”

About Me

My talking therapy is uniquely shaped around your individual needs and desires. I specialise in supporting those navigating addiction, trauma, and psychosis. I am also deeply committed to assisting anyone facing complex or severe issues. Each session is determined case by case, ensuring a truly personalised experience. This bespoke approach helps you explore challenges with clarity and find practical ways forward.

Approach

Sessions move at a pace you set, shaped by your immediate priorities and longer‑term recovery aims. I work with people in Carlton and online, in English, offering predictable structure alongside flexibility so each meeting responds to what matters that week. In session we map patterns, test small experiments, and use reflective tasks between meetings to notice shifts around substance or behavioural problems, overwhelming past experiences and dissociative or perceptual difficulties. Many find this way of working brings clearer choices and steadier days.
