I work with adults, including fellow expats navigating life abroad, on challenges such as:
- Anxiety and low mood
- Burnout
- Intrusive, repetitive thoughts and compulsions (OCD)
- Eating and body-image difficulties
- Long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-image
- Physical symptoms linked to stress, and coping with chronic illness
- Grief and loss
- Relationship difficulties
- Adjusting to life in a new country
As an expat myself, I understand the pressures of building a life abroad, and I bring that understanding into culturally sensitive, personalized care.
I use an integrative, evidence-based approach, mainly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), combined with approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based therapy (MBCT), and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Schema therapy, tailored to what fits you best.
We work as a team: understanding what’s getting in the way, how it affects you, and building practical steps to help you move forward, in a space where you feel heard and supported.
