Saara Salo

Ph.D. in Psychology, psychologist, licenced psychotherapist

I have worked for over 20 years with children and families at HUS Early Childhood Psychiatry and in private practice for the last three years with an attachment-centred, interaction-oriented approach. I have been doing clinical research for the same duration after my PhD; topics include emotional accessibility, parental reflective capacity and development and research of different interaction-oriented therapies (Theraplay, NaP intervention). I am currently working as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki. I am also a member of the Finnish Tharaplay Association and Mentalization Association boards. I first started training in mentalization-based work in 2007 and family intervention work in 2011 in London (Anna Freud Center), where I graduated as a trainer in 2018. Since then, I have been educating and supervising workers in Finland in mentalization-focused family work and collaborating with European trainers.
