Intercultural Issues

Moving abroad can bring exciting opportunities, but it can also present significant challenges. In a new country, you might face feelings of isolation, identity confusion, cultural misunderstandings, or difficulties in building new social connections. Navigating these experiences while adapting to a different language, customs, and social expectations can be overwhelming.

Systemic therapy offers a supportive space to explore these intercultural challenges in the broader context of your relationships, family, and environment. This approach recognises the complex ways culture shapes our identities and interactions, and it helps you understand how these factors influence your well-being. In therapy, we work collaboratively to uncover the patterns and dynamics that may affect your adjustment and sense of belonging. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths and resources, helping you develop new perspectives and coping strategies that foster resilience and self-acceptance.

As someone who has lived and worked across different cultures myself, I understand the unique difficulties and opportunities involved.

I offer therapy in English, German, and Russian, and I specialise in supporting internationals and expatriates through these transitions.

Systemic therapy provides a compassionate, non-judgemental environment where you can feel heard and supported as you navigate life in a new country and build a meaningful, fulfilling life.
