In my work, I offer a safe, non-judgmental and fully confidential space where you can speak openly about what is going on in your life. Many of my clients are expats or people living abroad who find themselves in relationship struggles, identity crises, or periods of emotional overload. Having worked with migrants and expats for several years, I am familiar with the specific psychological challenges that come with relocation, long-term adaptation, and living between cultures.
Our work begins with a free, non-binding initial consultation. This first session is focused on understanding your concerns in depth, defining goals together, and developing an initial idea of how we might work towards them. Often, it already becomes clear that the process is about gaining inner clarity, questioning long-standing patterns of thinking and behaviour, and creating room for choice and agency. After the initial consultation, you can take your time to decide whether you would like to continue working together.
My approach is evidence-based and primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Together, we explore how unhelpful thought patterns, beliefs and emotional responses may be contributing to your current difficulties — and how these can be gradually modified. The aim is not to judge or “fix” you, but to increase understanding, flexibility and choice in how you respond to challenges.
Most clients start with weekly sessions and gradually space them out over time. An important part of the process is the work you do between sessions. For this reason, we usually agree on small, concrete goals or exercises at the end of each session, helping insights from counselling translate into meaningful changes in everyday life.
