The three-year programme ran alongside her work and everyday life, but her determined efforts have now been rewarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Sinisalo, work supervision became familiar years ago after she graduated as an expert by experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI knew very little about work supervision before receiving supervision myself. I became interested immediately, and gradually the idea emerged that I would like to help others discover their own resources, strengths, and ways of coping at work,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work supervision offers an opportunity to pause and reflect on one\u2019s work, examine one\u2019s relationship with it, and consider its meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWork supervision is not only about solving problems. It can also be about recognising what is already working well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column52693_fb938a-7d\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa4-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nainen haistelee liljoja kukkivassa puutarhassa.\" class=\"wp-image-52617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa4-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa4-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa4-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa4-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa4-1320x1320.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Intensive Study Schedule Required Persistence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training was not easy. Due to the merging of student groups, Sinisalo\u2019s group had to catch up on six months of studies within a tight schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt times, we studied at a very intense pace. One example is that we had a literature circle meeting on Teams on New Year\u2019s Eve. We squeezed out every last bit of energy,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the studies demanded a great deal, graduating feels especially meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter becoming ill, I had not previously tested my own resources in such a demanding situation. Combining work and studies was a major challenge, but I managed it well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support her own wellbeing, Sinisalo developed a simple but effective strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have a pyjama day once a week. That\u2019s when I recover and gradually release stress instead of waiting until a holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience Expertise Supports Work Supervision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sinisalo sees a strong connection between recovery-oriented thinking and work supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn both, space is given to the individual, while support and structure are provided for their personal journey. In work supervision, ready-made answers are not given; instead, people are helped to find their own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ability to ask questions also emerged as one of her strengths in feedback from practice groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMany people said I asked good questions. I believe my background as an expert by experience helps me recognise cause-and-effect relationships and quickly identify what is essential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety, Self-Compassion and Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a work supervisor, Sinisalo wants above all to bring a sense of safety into workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52614\" style=\"width:390px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sirpa-1320x1320.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen people feel safe, they can truly be themselves. In addition, I want to strengthen self-compassion. It has benefited me greatly. When we learn to let go of excessive self-demand a little, we often achieve more with less strain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also speaks about the importance of comfort and consolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLife includes sad and difficult experiences. If we have the ability to comfort ourselves, we can carry those burdens a little more lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thanks to Niemikoti Foundation and the Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the moment of graduation, Sinisalo wishes to thank the many people who accompanied her on this journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She gives special thanks to <strong>Hilpi Marttine<\/strong>n, the long-time supervisor of Niemikotis\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6\u2019s experts by experience, whom she considers a role model. She also thanks Niemikotis\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6 for making the studies possible and supporting her throughout the process, as well as her trainers and fellow students for sharing the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cIt\u2019s Worth Pursuing Your Dreams\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What advice does Sinisalo have for someone considering starting a new course of study?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI encourage people to pursue their dreams. It is rewarding when the journey is completed, but the journey itself is also an important part of the process. New ideas, perspectives, and learning are always valuable. It\u2019s not worth staying only within what is familiar and safe\u2014you should also dare to move towards something new.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, however, Sinisalo intends to enjoy her achievement and the coming summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m interested in mediation next, but before starting new studies, it\u2019s good to take a moment to breathe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id52693_424d34-66 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id52693_424d34-66 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id52693_424d34-66 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(40% -
