Couples Therapy For Expats
All couples face difficulties at times, and expat life can bring it's own unique challenges to your relationship.
When life is demanding, with high expectations and a relentless pace, it’s easy to find yourselves drifting into problems and asking:
How did we get to this point?
Here's How Couples Therapy Will Help You

As an expat myself, with many years' experience working with expat couples, I understand that while starting a new life together is a wonderful adventure, it can also impact your relationship in unexpected ways.
Here's what expat couples tell me. Maybe you relate?
You had the courage to start a new chapter by moving abroad
Now it's time to create a new, and even stronger chapter 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.
