Emotional support for expats
Your support starts here
By reaching out, you are not just seeking support:
you are actively increasing your chances of making your life in a new country a fulfilling and successful experience.
If you’re ready to talk, I’m here to listen.
Let’s connect online
As an expat, you know that living far from home can make it challenging to find the right support. That’s why I offer the flexibility of online coaching sessions, allowing you to connect with me no matter where you are in the world. Whether you’ve recently moved, are living in a remote location, or simply prefer the convenience of your own space, you can still access personalized support tailored to your unique needs.
Online sessions ensure that distance is never a barrier to your well-being. With just a stable internet connection, we can work together to navigate the challenges of expat life, no matter what country you call home. This approach allows you to continue your journey towards well-being without interruption, no matter where life takes you.
Let’s meet in person
My practice is based in Sant Feliu de Guixols (Girona, Spain). I have a dedicated home office that provides a comfortable and private space for our sessions. For privacy reasons, I don’t share my address online, but I’ll provide the details once we’ve connected. The office is easily accessible by car, with ample parking available nearby.
I offer sessions both in a classic office setting as well as outdoor “walk and talk” sessions. Being active and spending time in nature has been scientifically proven to boost well-being, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity. Whether you prefer the structure of an office environment or the freedom of the outdoors, we can tailor our sessions to fit what feels most comfortable and effective for you.

Taking that first step could be the beginning of something truly positive for you. So why not give it a try?

Frequently asked questions
What are your qualifications?
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Mental Health and a master’s degree in Work and Organizational Psychology from Maastricht University (the Netherlands). My academic training has provided me with a strong foundation in psychological principles, human behavior, and various therapeutic approaches. During my studies, I acquired extensive knowledge across a wide range of psychological topics, including how the brain responds to change and stress, as well as various therapeutic techniques.
As an expat myself, I understand the unique challenges of living abroad. I’ve experienced firsthand the emotional ups and downs that come with adjusting to a new culture, navigating unfamiliar systems, and finding a sense of belonging far from home. This personal experience allows me to empathize deeply with the struggles you may be facing and to offer tailored support that truly resonates with the realities of expat life.
My academic background combined with my personal experience and coaching expertise allows me to offer both a compassionate listening ear and scientifically grounded methods to support your mental health.
Do I need to commit to multiple sessions like in therapy?
My service is different from therapy in that it offers practical, low-threshold emotional support without the need for a long-term commitment. While therapy involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions over a series of sessions, my approach is more focused on helping you navigate everyday challenges and emotions. There is no pressure to commit to multiple sessions and you decide how often you’d like to meet.
Do you have an office?
I have a dedicated home office that provides a comfortable and private space for our sessions. It is located in a residential area on the outskirts of Sant Feliu de Guixols (Girona, Spain). There is ample parking available, though please note that public transportation is not an option to reach my office.
If you prefer, we can also arrange to meet in the surrounding area of Sant Feliu de Guixols. This option is available by prior arrangement, and additional costs may apply for travel time.
For the safety and privacy of both myself and my clients, I don’t publish the address of my office online. I will provide the exact location details once your appointment is confirmed.
Do you treat psychiatric conditions like depression?
My coaching is designed for individuals facing the normal emotional ups and downs of life, not for those dealing with serious mental health issues. If you need treatment for a psychiatric condition or clinical depression, I recommend consulting a licensed mental health professional. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions nor do I prescribe medications.
How is your service different from a life coach?
While both life coaches and I focus on personal development, my service is specifically geared toward emotional support for expats. Life coaches often work on setting and achieving specific goals, such as career advancement or personal growth. In contrast, my approach centers on helping you manage the emotional challenges of living abroad, like stress, loneliness, and cultural adjustment. I offer a more focused, empathetic approach tailored to the unique needs of expats, rather than a broad, goal-oriented strategy.
How is your service different from seeing a psychologist?
My service is different from seeing a psychologist in that I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. I provide low-threshold emotional support for everyday challenges, helping you navigate the ups and downs of expat life. If you’re dealing with serious mental health issues, such as depression or anxiety disorders, a psychologist or psychiatrist would be more appropriate. My role is to offer a supportive space where you can explore your feelings and find practical ways to manage your emotions.
Accessible support,
wherever you are
My practice is based in Sant Feliu de Guixols (Girona Spain) where we can meet in a traditional office setting, or take our session outdoors.
I also offer video call sessions, so you can still receive the support you need without having to travel. This way, distance is never a barrier to getting the help you need.
