Every path begins with a first step.
Coaching offers a structured way to find direction and confidence. And your next path forward.
Discover Practical Solutions and Clear Next Steps
In a coaching session we focus on your future goals, what you want to achieve and how to get there. With Solution Focused Coaching, based on my training at the Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute, I guide you to use your strengths and discover practical solutions. I also bring in Reteaming, a goal setting method that helps identify resources, track progress, and celebrate achievements. Together these approaches, rooted in Brief Therapy, make it easier to move forward in a clear, practical, and motivating way.
My work has also grown towards Therapeutic Coaching, which means using these same tools to support you through deeper life challenges, when stress or personal struggles feel overwhelming. And for those looking for professional change — whether you’re planning a startup, a new project, or a career pivot — coaching offers the same clear structure and encouragement to turn ideas into action.
Each session gives you a chance to pause, reflect, and see your situation more clearly — and to take small, confident steps toward a calmer and more balanced future. Book a meeting at hello@jaanaheikkila.com!
What makes this coaching different, is the method I use: It is based on my professional training at the Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute, where I earned certification from the International Alliance of Solution Focused Teaching Institutes (IASTI) as an Advanced Solution Focused Practitioner of Coaching. This internationally recognized program is rooted in a simple and practical approach to positive change.
From Global Tech to Guiding Growth: My Journey of Discovering New Paths
I really thrive on seeing clients leave our coaching sessions empowered and ready to take on their next steps.
For over 20 years, I’ve worked in global high-tech businesses, helping companies and people grow.
I studied in Finland and Sweden, then joined startups in Helsinki and Stockholm, where I built skills in marketing, strategy, and new business opportunities.
Later, I moved to Italy, restarted my career in Rome by creating the Mobile Monday Italy community, and moved to a large corporation in Milan.
I eventually moved to San Francisco, where I held management roles working with the latest technologies such as AI and the Internet of Things. There I also co-founded a school with local investors and served on its board, gaining experience in leadership and community impact.
Now, as an IASTI-certified Solution Focused and Therapeutic Coach, I use this international journey to help people navigate change and make meaningful progress in work and life.
I coach in English, Italian, and Finnish. Email me at hello@jaanaheikkila.com and let’s talk!

If you have trouble connecting, please send a message to Hello@jaanaheikkila.com, and we’ll resolve the issue as quickly as possible. To ensure a smooth session, make sure your mobile device or computer is fully charged before the meeting.
How should I prepare for my coaching session?
To get the most out of your Solution Focused Coaching session, find a quiet, distraction-free space where you can speak freely. You can take your meeting from anywhere—whether it’s a quiet private room, a work meeting room, a beach or nature spot, or even while walking outside in a park—wherever you feel most comfortable and focused on discovering new solutions.
What can I expect during an online coaching session?
Solution Focused Coaching is a goal-driven, future-oriented approach designed to help you find solutions rather than dwell on problems. Sessions are collaborative, with targeted questions that help you clarify your vision, recognize past successes, and take actionable steps toward your goals. The process is empowering, practical, and results-focused.
Are coaching sessions confidential?
Absolutely yes. Your privacy is my highest priority. As a professional Solution Focused and Therapeutic Coach, I adhere to strict confidentiality and ethical standards, ensuring that everything shared in our sessions remains completely private.
How is solution-focused coaching different from traditional therapy?
While traditional therapy often explores past experiences to uncover the root causes of challenges, Solution Focused Coaching keeps the focus on the present and future. Instead of analyzing problems, we work on leveraging your strengths and taking clear, actionable steps to move forward.
Is Solution Focused Coaching right for me?
Solution Focused Coaching is ideal for anyone looking for clarity, motivation, and actionable solutions in areas like personal growth, career transitions, and relationship dynamics. The only requirement is an internet connection for a video call on Google Meet or Zoom—so you can connect from wherever suits you best.
