French and English speaking councellor for Expats and Nomads 🌍 You don't have to choose between your lifestyle and your mental health !
Hi ! I'm Sonia, a French online therapist living half time in Berlin with my German partner 🥨 As you can imagine, I know first hand about the struggles of being an expat, a trailing spouse, and in an international relationship !
I love food, (solo) travelling and I'm lucky to be surrounded by inspiring expats in my daily life.
🌏
Being an expat is an amazingly brave choice of life : You wanted a better, happier life outside of your home country and you made it happen ! Or you followed your partner to a new unknown life, which is just as brave.
But now, you realize that living abroad isn’t just holidays. Being an expat also comes with its challenges :
• Being away from your loved ones who maybe don't approve your decision • Grieving your old life while struggling to adapt to a completely new one with a different culture • Trying to build a strong social life when your new friends are coming and going • Dealing with ups and downs, anxiety, depression
Sometimes trying to sort everything out on your own can become overwhelming, and that's where I come in.
It's not because you're an expat or a nomad, that all of your issues are related to it !
Even if your expatriation will play a part in the issues discussed in therapy, it doesn’t have to be the root of all your problems. You don’t have to hate your new country to come to me.
Here are the most common issues my clients come to therapy for :
🌏 SELF CONNECTION ISSUES
• Lack of self confidence • Stress, anxiety, panick attacks • Annoying repetitive patterns • Emotional control • Depression
🌏 RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS
• Communication problems • Relationship and social issues • Emotional dependance, glance of others • Grief (death, breakup etc)
As a therapist, my goal is not only to talk about your issue and look at the past for hours. I also want you to be able to actually make some changes in your life that will eventually solve the problem you came to see me for.
To help you, I am trained with psychology tools such as :
◦ Transactional Analysis : to get to know yourself better and to acquire amazing communication skills ◦ Internal family system : to finally break those repetitive patterns ◦ Grief therapy : to help you grieve a person, a relationship, you former country, your former job etc ◦ Sex therapy : to improve your sex life, whether you're single or in a relationship
