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

I know, I've been there! As a former expat, I know that uprooting your life and moving to a new country can lead to feelings of isolation, identity loss, and loneliness. And if not dealt with, this can cause depression, anxiety, and stress. It can come to eclipse all the positives of being an expat: the adventures, exciting experiences, and new friends. I can help you deal with these challenges and bring back the joy of being an expat.

It is my ambition to help expats like yourself live your most meaningful life, true to your values and beliefs. In addition to being a former expat myself, I am also an experienced therapist with a first-class honours degree in psychotherapeutic counselling. I'm bilingual and offer counselling and psychotherapy in English and Danish both online and from my clinic in Odense C.

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 but also the added challenges of being far away from your comfort zone and usual support system. When the honeymoon feeling wears off, many find themselves isolated and estranged in their new country. Some experience that old wounds and problems resurface; and it’s tempting to regret the decision to move abroad. If this is how you’re feeling, know that expat life has the potential to be an amazing experience. I can help you realise your amazing adventure.
