Feel at home abroad

Culturally sensitive counselling for expats navigating new lives

Are you feeling stuck, homesick and lonely due to moving abroad?

Here you will find English-speaking emotional support related to your experience as an Expat. My professional expertise as a counselor as well as my life experience as a German expat in India has attuned me to cultural transitions and provides me with the tools to help you with multicultural integration, isolation and the stress of settling down in a new country. Together we will explore your goals and new paths of action to help you move forward in this complex life situation. It is normal to feel overwhelmed with worries and anxiety when moving to a new country. Reaching out for professional support can provide you with the right help to regain confidence in yourself and to use this change as an opportunity for personal growth.

”Our motto “Feel at home abroad” expresses how professional counselling can be the bridge in the process of moving and adjusting to a new country. Through the warm and attentive relationship with a counsellor, clients feel free to authentically explore their experiences and goals and learn to tackle their individual issues that arise with this major life transition. Expat counselling opens a way to move forward: emotionally and mentally, socially and professionally.

Where are you right now?

My friends and family don’t understand what I’m going through, I also don’t want to burden them with my problems. I’m feeling so home sick and lonely. I want to connect to people, make friends and feel I belong, but its been difficult.

Individual counselling sessions

I’m feeling exhausted after moving abroad, I’m experiencing frequent headaches and stomach upsets and I’m suffering from constant lack of motivation; everything seems pointless and hopeless. I want to feel energetic again and work on finding new perspectives and goals for myself.

Individual counselling sessions

I am consumed by self-doubts and I’m feeling quite lethargic and are often in a bad mood. I’m also struggling with the difference in the dating landscape, I’m feeling discouraged to go out there. I’d really like to regain my confidence, enjoy life and have fun again.

Individual counselling sessions

I’m feeling confused, how do I integrate into this new culture at the same time don’t lose my own cultural identity? How do I learn to feel relaxed and confident in new social situations?

Individual counselling sessions

We don’t know how we can support our children in coping with the changes after moving abroad. They feel overwhelmed with loneliness and are missing their friends. The disruption and change of school have been very hard for them as well. We parents are stressed too, and this makes them feel even more insecure. We need help to navigate this as a family.

Parent coaching sessions

Our marriage feels strained after moving to a foreign country, we feel the lack of our usual support system and struggle with the cultural adjustment and stress of relocation. We would like to learn to manage these complexities together and to communicate in healthier ways and deepen our connection.

Relationship counselling sessions

My partner and I are from different cultural backgrounds. Due to different cultural and religious sentiments and perspectives we are noticing some very specific problems emerging in our relationship. We would like to learn to deal with these differences constructively and use these challenges as a chance for a more satisfying relationship.
