What we help with

Online therapy for expats and people living abroad

Moving countries is one of the biggest changes a person can make. Even when it goes well, you lose your everyday support: the friends who know you, the language you joke in, the systems you understand. Loneliness, self-doubt and low mood are common, often months after the move.

Signs you might recognise

Finding a therapist locally can be hard if you do not speak the language well enough to talk about feelings. Online therapy lets you work with someone in your own language and keep the same therapist if you move again.

Recognising yourself in a few of these does not mean something is wrong with you. It means it may be worth a conversation.

Loneliness, even with colleagues and acquaintances around
Homesickness that comes in waves
Feeling like a different, smaller person in a second language
Strain on your relationship, especially if you moved for a partner’s job
Guilt about family far away
Not feeling at home here, or there, any more

How therapy helps

Your therapist will suggest an approach based on what you want to change. Common ones include:

1
Person-centred counselling
Unhurried space to talk in your own language with someone who understands the expat experience.
How it works
2
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
Clarify what matters to you and build a life around it in a new place.
How it works
3
Interpersonal therapy (IPT)
Rebuild a support network and manage relationships across distance.
How it works

Three things you can try today

Build routine first: the same café, gym or class each week creates familiar faces.
Schedule regular calls home rather than waiting until you feel low.
Give it a full year before judging the move.

Common questions

Sessions are online, so you can join from wherever you live. Which therapists you can work with may depend on local rules where you and the therapist are based. We check this when matching you.

Can I have therapy in my first language?

Therapy is available in English today. Spanish, German and French are next. Tell us your language in the matching questions and we will let you know when it opens.
