Do I Need Counselling as an Expat?
Expert Expat Counselling: Support for Your Life Abroad
Taking the brave step to relocate overseas as an expat opens up incredible opportunities, but also significant life changes and hurdles to overcome. Navigating a new culture, language barriers, loneliness from being apart from loved ones – the stresses of expat life can take a major toll on your mental health and sense of self.
Common Expat Challenges That Benefit From Counselling:
• Culture shock and adjusting to new cultural norms
• Feeling isolated due to language barriers
• Loneliness from lack of a local support network
• Questioning your identity and values in a new environment
• Strain on relationships with partner, family back home
• General stress of adapting to new surroundings and way of life
