About this service

Living abroad can be a transformative experience, but it often comes with challenges that are difficult to navigate alone. Moving between countries, cultures, languages and ways of life can affect our sense of identity, belonging, relationships and emotional wellbeing.

Feelings of loneliness, anxiety, homesickness, uncertainty or disconnection are common — even when life abroad appears successful from the outside.

In our sessions we create a warm, English-speaking space where you can slow down, be understood, and work through what matters to you — with a systemic lens that honors your history, your relationships and the culture you carry with you.

When therapy in English helps

  • Anxiety or stress that follows you through a demanding relocation
  • Loneliness and the effort of building a new social circle from scratch
  • Culture shock, language fatigue and everyday bureaucracy
  • Questions about identity and where you truly belong
  • Long-distance relationships, or a partnership strained by the move
  • Homesickness, grief, or missing important moments back home
  • Career uncertainty, visas and the pressure to make it work
  • Feeling successful on the outside, but disconnected inside
