Therapy and coaching in English for expats

Feel at home in yourself – wherever life has taken you

As exciting as it is, expat life can be overwhelming and challenging.

 

I can help you deal with the challenges and bring joy to your life.

 

I offer therapy and coaching in English for expats and other internationals, helping you navigate life abroad with more clarity, balance, relational stability and support, as well as emotional grounding.

 

Online and in my clinic in Odense, Denmark.

Sometimes, the adventure isn’t what you expected

As an expat, you not only have to deal with the regular ups and downs of life.

 

There are also the added challenges of being far away from your comfort zone and usual support system.

 

This may leave you feeling: 

 

  • alone, socially isolated, and homesick

  • anxious, depressed, or stressed

  • like your sense of self and identity is crumbling

  • without a sense of belonging or direction

  • like your relationship is falling apart under the pressure

  • the resurfacing of old wounds and problems

  • regret… even though this was your own choice

 

Over time, these feelings can come to eclipse all the positives of being an expat: the adventures, exciting experiences, and new friends. 

 

It can negatively impact your emotional well-being and your relationships. 

 

Expat life has the potential to be an amazing experience – I can help you realise your potential!

You don’t have to figure this out on your own

I’m Henriette, a psychotherapist educated in England, bilingual in Danish and English, and a former expat with more than 10 years of personal experience.

In short, I understand what it means to build a life in a different culture – not just practically, but emotionally. And I know, what a struggle it can be. 

 

Therefore, it’s my mission to help expats across the globe thrive and live their best (expat) lives.

Sticker with motto: Helping expats thrive and live their best lives

In our work together, we focus on helping you:

  • understand yourself more clearly

  • reconnect with yourself and build self-worth

  • feel more grounded and emotionally balanced

  • navigate relationships with greater ease

  • create a life abroad that feels meaningful, sustainable, and true to your values.

 

This is not about “fixing” you, but about helping you feel more like yourself again in your new home.

 

A few words from a client

Not only was Henriette respectfully and non-judgmentally curious about our cultural differences, she is also empathic and validating, appropriately challenging, and very knowledgeable of life abroad.
