About me
Are you someone who is living abroad and having issues with adaptation and cultural shock? Have you recently discovered that you are experiencing burnout symptoms that reduce your life quality and performance at work? Don't worry; you are in the right place. I will help you to work on yourself to live your life to the fullest and flourish at work. Yes, as expats the circumstances are challenging for us, we need to adapt to a new culture, language and different community. We cannot control the circumstances but we can control our own reactions and perceptions. As your counselor, I will make sure that you are heard, understood and not alone. Together, we will discover the underlying factors that influences your behaviors and work together to change for good. There could be many factors that contribute to your perception and reactions ranging from unresolved childhood traumas to decision-making mechanisms. No worries it is all good. There is always a solution when there is a problem. Trust the journey.
My approach
My research and professional experience showed that our psychological boundaries, unmet childhood needs, cultural values, and family customs shape our perception and reactions. For instance, if we have difficulty with saying no or feel too responsible, then we might end up with a long to-do task, or our weekend could be filled with duties to please others. Then it is an invitation to anxiety and in the long-term depression. I help people to work on their self-image and boundaries to reduce stressors in their lives. To achieve this, I use scientifically valid methods like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) techniques to adapt and understand decision-making mechanism. I also use emotion cards as tools to help my clients identify their triggers for certain emotions (i.e. frustration) to establish healthy boundaries.
