Psychological support for tinnitus, sound sensitivity and misophonia
I am Kristiina Laakso, a psychologist specialising in tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia. I offer evidence-based psychological support to help reduce the impact of sound-related symptoms on your daily life.
Services
My specialist area is the psychological treatment of tinnitus, hyperacusis (sound sensitivity) and misophonia. I also offer support for dizziness-related distress and general psychological wellbeing.
I am the only psychologist in Finland offering a structured treatment programme specifically developed for distressing sound-related symptoms — the CBT-Hear programme, which applies cognitive behavioural therapy methods adapted for auditory conditions.
Who can benefit?
You are welcome to make an appointment if:
- tinnitus is affecting your sleep, concentration, mood or daily functioning
- everyday sounds feel overwhelming, painful or frightening
- certain sounds trigger strong emotional or physical reactions (misophonia)
- dizziness or fear of dizziness is limiting your life
- you are looking for psychological support for stress, anxiety or life transitions
Sessions are available for clients of all ages. No referral is needed.

Swedish-speaking clients are also warmly welcome. In practice, clients often speak Swedish freely while I respond in Finnish — this flexible approach has worked well and received positive feedback.
