Anxiety & Panic Therapy for Expats & Digital Nomads

Life abroad can quietly intensify anxiety, especially when you’re constantly adapting, deciding, and holding things together without familiar support.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve always been the kind of person who gets things done: organized, thoughtful, maybe even a little high-achieving. But lately, your mind doesn’t seem to shut off. You wake up already on edge, your thoughts racing through what-ifs and worst-case scenarios before you’ve even had coffee.

It’s not that you’re falling apart, you’re just exhausted from holding it all together. You might feel:

Constantly overstimulated or “on guard”
Struggling to relax, sleep or focus, even when nothing’s technically wrong
Guilty for not being able to “just enjoy” the life you’ve built abroad
Disconnected from your body, like you’re running on autopilot
Irritable or snappy, even when you don’t want to be

If this resonates, you’re not broken; you’re overwhelmed. Anxiety can look like overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or even procrastination. It can show up as stomach tension, restless energy, or racing thoughts that make you question everything, including yourself.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. If this feels familiar, you’re warmly invited to book a free consultation to see if working together feels right.

What Anxiety Can Look Like

Anxiety isn’t always panic attacks or fear. Sometimes it looks like being busy all the time, overthinking every decision, or lying awake replaying conversations from the day.
You might notice:

A mind that won’t switch off
Restlessness, irritability, or constant tension
Trouble sleeping or relaxing
Feeling easily overstimulated or emotionally drained
Doubting yourself or expecting the worst
Pushing yourself to keep going even when you’re exhausted

Anxiety isn’t a personality flaw, it’s your body’s way of trying to protect you from uncertainty or discomfort. But when it’s always switched on, it can leave you feeling disconnected, scattered, or like you’re running on empty.
If you’re feeling caught in that loop, therapy can help you slow things down, find clarity, and reconnect with a calmer version of yourself.

How I Can Help

My approach to anxiety therapy is both evidence-based and collaborative. Together, we’ll look at what fuels your anxiety; not just the symptoms, but the deeper patterns that keep it going.
These are the evidence-based therapies that I use when working with clients who are experiencing anxiety:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and reframe anxious thought patterns so they lose their grip.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you live in alignment with your values, even when uncertainty or discomfort is present.
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) helps you shift from self-criticism to self-understanding; a key part of quieting anxiety.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation and mindfulness — tools for staying calm under pressure.

The goal isn’t to “get rid” of anxiety, but to change your relationship with it, so it no longer runs the show.

How It Works

Free Consultation
We’ll meet for ~15 minutes so you can share what’s hardest and ask questions.
There is no pressure to commit; this is a space to ask questions and see whether working together feels right for you.

Intake & Mapping
‍In our first full session, we’ll explore how anxiety shows up for you — physically, emotionally, and mentally — and develop a personalized plan that fits your goals.

Weekly Therapy
‍We’ll use a mix of CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness techniques to help you calm your body, challenge anxious thoughts, and build tools that last.

Integration & Maintenance
‍Over time, sessions may space out as you start to feel more steady. We’ll focus on strengthening your progress and building habits that support long-term calm and confidence.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if past support hasn’t always felt safe. My goal is to make this process clear, collaborative, and paced in a way that respects your nervous system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anxiety & Overwhelm

Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?

Not at all. Whether your anxiety feels situational or chronic, therapy can help you build tools to manage it.

How long will therapy take?

Many clients notice improvement within 8–12 sessions, but everyone’s process is different. We’ll adjust based on your goals and needs.

Can online therapy really help with anxiety?

Absolutely. Many of my clients find online therapy ideal for expat life; it’s consistent, accessible, and tailored to your time zone and schedule.

What if I can’t afford weekly sessions?

We can explore biweekly or reduced-rate options depending on your situation. The goal is to make therapy sustainable, not stressful.

Can I work on other issues too?

Absolutely, anxiety is rarely isolated. Your session time is for you

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to common questions aboutstarting online therapy, sessions, and what to expect.

How do I get started?

keyboard_arrow_down

I am currently accepting new clients. Complete the contact form (link below). You can share what you're struggling with and what you're hoping to get out of therapy, or keep it brief if you're unsure of how to describe things right now.
‍
We’ll then schedule a free 15-minute consultation, where we can talk about what’s been feeling difficult and see whether working together feels like a good fit. There’s no obligation, it’s simply a chance to ask questions and get a sense of next steps.

Online contact form here.

What is your fee?

keyboard_arrow_down

My fee is 100 euros for one 50-minute session.
‍
We can begin with a free 15-minute consultation, so you can ask questions and see whether working together feels like a good fit before committing.

Do you offer sliding scale sessions?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes, I offer a limited number of reduced-rate sessions for clients experiencing financial constraints.

If cost is a concern, feel free to mention this when you reach out and we can see whether availability allows.

What is your cancellation policy?

keyboard_arrow_down

Due to the very limited nature of appointments, you will be charged the full fee for cancellations with less than a 48-hour notice. I reserve your therapy time just for you, and last-minute cancellations do not allow me enough time to schedule someone else in that slot.

This policy allows me to manage my schedule fairly and ensures availability is respected.

Is there anything outside of your scope?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. Being clear about the scope of my work is a key part of ethical care.

I work with individual adults (18+), supporting concerns such as anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional regulation, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions, including the emotional impact of expat and digital nomad life.

There are certain areas, however, that fall outside my scope of practice. If any of the following apply, I will help you explore more appropriate care options or refer you to a trusted specialist:
• Active suicidal or homicidal thoughts, with a current plan or intent
• Ongoing self-harm behaviours (e.g., cutting, burning)
• Significant substance use or addiction requiring medical or inpatient support
• Psychotic symptoms (such as hallucinations or delusions)
• Psychological or diagnostic testing needs. Note: I am partnered with Mind Clinic in Budapest (www.mind.hu). This clinic offers robust psychological and diagnostic testing remotely via video.
• Full DBT programs requiring group skills training or 24/7 phone coaching

While I integrate DBT principles into my work, I do not offer a full DBT program. If that level of support is needed, I’ll help you connect with a program that provides it.
‍
My goal is always to ensure you receive care that truly fits your needs, whether that’s with me or with another qualified professional.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

keyboard_arrow_down

My practice is fully online, and I offer therapy via a secure Zoom link.

Working online allows me to support expats and digital nomads wherever they're based, while also giving clients the flexibility to fit therapy into their lives without commuting or navigating local healthcare systems.

Online research is well-research and effective, and for many people - especially those living abroad, it can feel more accessible and consistent than in-person sessions. I write more about this in my article "How to Pick a Therapist" if you'd like to explore this further. You can find the article HERE

Is your practice LGBTQ+ friendly?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. My practice is fully LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive. I welcome clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations and relationship structures, and I am committed to providing a space where you can show-up exactly as you are - without judgement or assumption.
