Our Services
Having studied and lived abroad for almost three decades, I am especially qualified to offer mental health support for individuals living outside of their country of origin. Further, having worked with international students, expatriates, refugees and asylum seekers etc. I have experiential knowledge of loss of home, cultural displacement, loss of identity, nostalgic disorientation, and other specific topics, such as, being in an interracial relationship.
I offer an evidence-based scientific approach, that is psychologically integrated, trauma-informed and trauma-focussed, whilst acknowledging the hurdles that separation from home, family, and integrating into a new culture and society can potentially present.
