From my own experience I know...
Living abroad can feel extremely isolating
About me
Two things have fascinated me for a long time. The first is cognitive behavioral therapy. The idea that our attitudes and behaviors play a crucial role in the development of our fears, crises, and depression—and that we can free ourselves from them simply by changing the way we think and act—constantly provides me with new insights, perspectives, and approaches for both my own life and my work with clients.
The second is traveling. I love experiencing new cultures, trying different foods, meeting new people, or zipping through the streets of Naples on a Vespa. Maybe you feel the same way. But anyone who has spent more than just a few weeks abroad knows that our problems often come along for the ride, just waiting for the first stressful moment or crisis to make themselves known.
Some problems even arise specifically from living in a foreign country: friendships and relationships with an "expiration date," loneliness, long-distance relationships, culture shock, and stress—all of these can be major challenges for expats and migrants, often leading to a persistent sense of sadness, lack of motivation, anxiety, or even burnout.
If one or more of these points resonate with you, the first and most important thing to know is this: You are not alone! Many people living abroad have had similar experiences—including myself. The problem? Accessing a psychologist, especially one who speaks your native language, is often much more difficult when living abroad.
For this reason, I decided to set up a psychological counseling practice, completely online! I want to give you the opportunity to tell me about your problems and get to work with you.
