I support you in dealing with mental and emotional challenges by offering structured guidance, informed by my background and experience in psychotherapy. 
 

Together, we develop practical, solution- focused strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, explore new perspectives, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Support for Expats!

Living abroad can be enriching – but also emotionally demanding.
Distance from family, children struggling to adjust, or shifting relationship dynamics can all become sources of stress.
I offer online support for expats navigating personal challenges and emotional changes while settling into life in a new environment.

Initial session:
We begin by exploring your concerns, clarifying your goals, and defining a clear focus for our work together.

​

Tailored strategies:
We develop practical, solution-oriented approaches that are adapted to your personal situation and everyday challenges.

Integration & reflection:
Between sessions, you apply the strategies in daily life. In our follow-up, we reflect on what worked, where adjustments may help, and what to focus on next.
