Therapy for Internationals
Moving to a new country can be both exciting and challenging. Many people find themselves missing the familiar comforts of home, feeling overwhelmed by cultural differences, language barriers, and the many adjustments they face daily. If you’re feeling these things, know you’re not alone.
When I moved countries, I initially felt a lot of excitement. It’s easy to romanticise life abroad, imagining it as a kind of permanent holiday. But after the honeymoon phase ended, I was suddenly grappling with many challenges. My experience of living abroad changed dramatically as I encountered layers of difficulties.
Through trial and error, study, training, and working with others who’ve gone through similar transitions, I felt a strong calling to dedicate more time and focus to this specific work. What I offer to fellow internationals is a labour of love—an honouring of my own journey and the journeys of others.
Supporting immigrants, expatriates, international students, digital nomads, and intercultural couples, my goal is to help you find connection and confidence as you build your life in a new country. Together, you can shift from feeling different and out of place to feeling empowered and at home within yourself.
Counselling Individuals Living Abroad
Living abroad can bring deep feelings of homesickness, loneliness, or frustration. You may struggle with understanding new social norms, managing financial pressures, or feeling out of place in unfamiliar environments. These feelings can be exhausting, making you question your resilience and sense of purpose. I support you to explore your experiences, develop coping strategies, and reconnect with your inner strength. I am here to help you feel more grounded, confident, and at home within yourself—no matter where you are.
Counselling for Intercultural Couples
If you’re navigating relationships across cultures, you might be experiencing misunderstandings or conflicts related to differences in upbringing, family expectations, or communication styles. You may feel distant from each other, exhausted from managing everyday stresses, or unsure how to balance your individual identities within your relationship. I work with intercultural couples to explore these challenges, helping you develop understanding, respect, and stronger bonds. We focus on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and honouring both of your backgrounds so you can create a harmonious partnership.
From Out of Place to At Home
Our work together offers you the chance to discuss the unique challenges you face around living in a new country. I believe that the challenges that come with living abroad are complex, meaningful, and significant, and one part of many layers that make up our stories.
Together, we can look at all the different parts of your experience and how they interconnect, gain clarity, and discover creative ways to enjoy the advantages of living abroad, while also learning how to be with the difficult parts.
We’ll start by exploring your personal story—what brought you here, your struggles, and what you hope to achieve. You can share whatever is around this experience - feelings of homesickness, cultural differences, language concerns, or relationship worries.
Together, we’ll work on building practical tools to manage stress, boost confidence, and find ways to feel connected and secure in your new environment. The process is flexible and personalised, supporting you whether you’re trying to adapt to social norms, improve communication, come closer as a couple, or simply find your place.
My aim is to help you feel more resilient, more connected, and more confident as you settle into your new life abroad. No matter your background or the challenges you’re facing, support is possible—and you can start with finding a therapist that can offer you the connection and understanding you may really need right now.
