Living Abroad
Not everyone I work with is competing. Settling in, belonging, and finding yourself again are part of life abroad for many people, not just athletes. I offer psychological counselling and coaching for anyone finding it harder than expected.
Living abroad
A new country brings big questions about who you are. Let’s explore them together.
Moving to a new country changes more than your address. Loneliness, culture shock, homesickness, not fitting in, missing the people and places you knew. These are common, even when the move was your choice and things look “fine” on paper.
And life doesn't pause when you move. Relationships change under pressure, loss can feel heavier far from home, and worry can quietly take over.
You might reach out if:
- You don’t know whether you belong here, back home, or anywhere.
- You’re surrounded by people but have no one you can really talk to.
- You’re doing well on paper, but you feel exhausted and empty.
- Your visa, contract, or career depends on performing, the pressure never lets up, and you can’t switch off.
- You moved with your partner, rely fully on their income, and feel you’ve lost your sense of self.
- You’re torn between building a life here and keeping a door open at home.
- You’re happy abroad, but feel guilty being so far away while your loved ones grow older.
- You know you’ll be moving again, so you hold back from getting close to people.

Just because you can do it alone doesn't mean you have to.
