Katja and I have worked together in an incredible variety of ways for about five years; Katja has been our work supervisor, a foster parent, and a trainer and therapist in the child protection systemic working model. Working in different roles says a lot about Katja's way of working and her personality.

"Kotatuli is a wonderfully warm-hearted place where everyone is welcomed just as they are."
The calm environment and child-centred work has provided a safe place for our special needs child to develop in working with the horses and also with herself. There have been wonderful moments of success and insights and we have enjoyed the activities wholeheartedly among a wonderful herd.

"I feel that my professional identity has been clarified and strengthened as a result of the guidance."
Katja has given me a lot of support, help and encouragement on various work-related issues and problems. Katja has also helped me to clarify my thoughts about my role in this working community. In addition to the work patterns, Katja has listened, understood and grounded me in other areas of concern. I feel that business coaching plays an important role in feeling well at work.

"Work counselling was an important tool in my ability to cope at work and in my life."
Genuine presence and listening created a trusting relationship and even the most difficult issues were easy to talk about. I gained insights and tools that helped me in my work, even in changing and difficult situations in the work community. I was encouraged to develop myself, and through the guidance I received, I found new enthusiasm for further studies.

"My 9- and 3-year-old sons have been visiting Kotatuli for almost a year now."
The boys have had a great time and are looking forward to the next foster family weekend. At Kotatuli, holidays and children's birthdays are observed and celebrated together. It's especially nice that the Kotatuli team picks up and brings the children halfway of the trip, so I don't have to spend so much time travelling.

"I feel I benefit from work counselling and it supports my mental well-being."

Work counselling does not give you ready-made answers. Katja asks good, pertinent questions. The questions help you wake up to your own issues and find new perspectives on things. Katja also shares her own thoughts and views, which reflect her experience and expertise. Work counselling takes a holistic view of the person and the different aspects of life.

As a social worker, you are there for others, listening to people's stories, problems and trying to see the big picture, organising services, creating hope and goals. It's wonderful to have a place (work counselling) where you can freely unload your own burdens and thoughts. You can have a moment to yourself. In work counselling, there is no need to filter your own speech. I find it liberating and empowering.
