We all carry our emotional baggage and cannot simply wish it away. Additionally, life as an expat, nomad, or member of the international community presents its own set of unique challenges. This often leaves us feeling anxious, and stuck. Simply letting time pass isn't always enough to heal.

​

To guide you through these emotions, I incorporate mindfulness-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we'll build skills that enable you to observe and respond to difficult feelings without judgment.

​

Furthermore, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), we will collaboratively explore the thoughts and beliefs that may be getting in the way of your daily life. We would typically spend some time understanding where in your life these beliefs come from, exploring childhood experiences if and when needed. 

​

By understanding the roots of our thoughts and feelings, we free ourselves from their grip, and become more resilient in challenging situations. This also means we are less likely to want to numb our pain by engaging in unhelpful habits like impulsive or binge eating, lashing out at others, 'doomscrolling' on social media, alcohol, smoking or substance abuse.
