How Couples Therapy Will Help You
Couples Therapy For Expats

As an expat myself, I understand that while starting a new life together can be a wonderful adventure, it also brings its own challenges to your relationship.
And, as a couples therapist with a great deal of experience helping expat couples, I have a deep understanding of the specific needs and additional challenges that you may be facing.
Here's what expat couples tell me. Maybe you relate?
Whether you've been expats for a while or this is a new chapter in your lives, you've been brave enough to seek new horizons.
Now it's time to explore new horizons for your relationship.
How Couples Therapy Works
Session Times
My couples Sessions are for 1 hour and 15 minutes. This is longer than the standard, but in my experience, longer sessions work better for couples as it provides enough space and time for both of you.
We generally meet weekly, though I can be flexible to your needs.
Sessions are online via Zoom or WhatsApp video.

Closer than we've been in years
We had drifted into living a life in parallel but never really truly together.
We were at the point of deciding to part company but you helped us recover the love we both knew deep down that we wanted.
