Counselling for People Living Abroad
Supporting individuals and couples to find connection and confidence as you build your life in a new country.
Moving to a new country can feel like an exciting, grand adventure. There is often hope, curiosity, and a sense of possibility. Over time, though, many people begin to notice how hard it can be to live away from what is familiar.
You may feel unsure of who you are in this new place. You might miss home, struggle with language, or feel disconnected from people around you. Everyday things can take more effort. Friendships can be harder to build. You may start to question where you belong.
When I moved abroad, I felt all of this myself. Then, the early excitement slowly gave way to loneliness, confusion, and the feeling of being out of place. I learned that living in another country is not just a practical change — it is an emotional one too.
Through my own experience, and through my training and work with others, I came to understand how deeply these changes can affect our confidence, identity, and relationships. Supporting people through this process has become an important part of my work.
My aim is to help you feel more grounded, more confident, and more at home in yourself, even while your life is changing around you.
Counselling Individuals Living Abroad
Living abroad can bring homesickness, loneliness, stress, or frustration. You may feel tired from trying to adapt, from managing practical pressures, or from not feeling fully understood. Over time, this can affect how you see yourself and how you relate to others.
In therapy, we can talk about what you are holding. We can look at what feels hard, what has changed, and what you may need more of. Together, we can find ways to help you feel steadier, clearer, and more supported.
Counselling for Intercultural Couples
Relationships across cultures can be rich and meaningful, but they can also be complicated. Differences in communication, family expectations, and values can lead to misunderstandings or distance.
You may feel tired of explaining yourself, or unsure how to meet each other in the middle. In our work together, we focus on understanding one another better, improving communication, and finding ways to respect both of your backgrounds while strengthening your connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
+ How does counselling for people living abroad differ from regular therapy?
This work pays special attention to how culture, language, identity, and belonging affect your wellbeing. Living between cultures is not just a background detail — it shapes how you feel, think, and relate.
+ Who can benefit from intercultural counselling?
This counselling is for anyone living across cultures — including immigrants, expatriates, international students, people working abroad, and those in intercultural relationships.
You do not need to use any specific label. If living between cultures is part of your life, this space may feel right for you.
+ Do you take insurance?
Sessions are paid for directly by you. You may submit your invoice to your insurance provider to ask about reimbursement, though I cannot promise that they will cover the cost.
I practise in Spain as a counsellor and psychotherapist and do not hold a Spanish collegiate registration number.
+ What can I discuss in sessions?
You can bring anything that feels important — homesickness, identity questions, cultural tension, relationship difficulties, or simply the feeling of being lost or unsure.
There is no right place to start. We begin with what feels most real for you.
