Welcome to my reception

Hi, my name is Visa Sarparanta. I work for Aava as an occupational health psychologist and aviation psychologist.

Whether you are looking for answers, good questions, change or support in a difficult situation, I am willing to help you get there. My approach is based on interaction and the client’s needs. My working style has been described as humane and perceptive.

I work with individual clients, groups, leaders and work communities. I have extensive previous experience working with clients who have had challenging work and/or life situations, crisis, career difficulties, fatigue, other mental health issues etc. I have expertise in complex psychological assessments.

I am also interested in cognitive ergonomics and human factors, especially regarding safety critical industries and knowledge work.

I consult for the Aava Aeromedical Centre (AeMC) in matters related to aviation psychology and have a thorough understanding of the aviation industry. I am a special psychologist in clinical mental health, accredited aviation psychologist (European Association for Aviation Psychology) and member of the Finnish Aerospace Medical Association.

See you at Aava!
