Feeling Stuck in Survival Mode?

Trauma-informed online therapy for expats and high-functioning adults who feel constantly on edge, emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode.

Does this sound familiar?

You feel constantly “on,” even when there is no immediate crisis
You struggle to fully relax or mentally switch off
Small stressors can suddenly feel overwhelming
You feel emotionally reactive, shut down, numb, or overstimulated
You push yourself to keep functioning even when you are exhausted
You feel stuck in survival mode, even when life looks “fine” on the outside

Chronic stress, burnout, trauma, grief, and major life transitions can all impact the nervous system over time — making it harder to feel grounded, emotionally regulated, and safe in daily life.

How I Can Help

I provide trauma-informed online therapy for expats, digital nomads, and high-functioning adults experiencing nervous system overwhelm, hypervigilance, emotional exhaustion, burnout, and chronic stress.

Together, we work to better understand the emotional and nervous system patterns keeping you stuck in cycles of overwhelm, anxiety, shutdown, over-functioning, or emotional exhaustion.

I often describe the nervous system as being somewhat like a passenger in a car. At times, it helps guide and protect us. At other times — particularly after prolonged stress, trauma, burnout, or instability — it can become overactivated and make daily life feel much harder to navigate.

Part of therapy involves learning how to work with your nervous system rather than constantly fighting against it. This may include:

Recognizing signs of overwhelm earlier
Checking in with yourself more consistently
Building supportive routines and recovery
Planning for emotionally demanding situations
Reducing patterns of hypervigilance, overworking, avoidance, or shutdown

I integrate evidence-based approaches including CPT, ACT, CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation strategies.

My approach is warm, practical, collaborative, and grounded in both clinical training and real-life experience navigating major life transitions and international living.

Your Therapy Journey

I provide trauma-informed online therapy for expats and digital nomads experiencing nervous system overwhelm, chronic stress, hypervigilance, burnout, and emotional exhaustion, integrating practical and evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs.

Understanding Your Patterns

We begin by exploring the emotional, relational, and nervous system factors contributing to your current distress — including trauma, chronic stress, burnout, grief, hypervigilance, or major life transitions.

Building Greater Stability
‍
Together, we work on emotional regulation, nervous system awareness, supportive routines, boundaries, and healthier ways of responding to stress and overwhelm.

This phase is active and collaborative, with a clear direction, while still moving at a pace that feels manageable and safe.

Moving Beyond Survival Mode
‍
‍Over time, therapy can help you feel more grounded, emotionally regulated, connected to yourself, and better able to navigate daily life without constantly operating in survival mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to common questions about starting online therapy, information about sessions, and what you can expect.

How do I get started?

keyboard_arrow_down

I’m currently accepting new clients. You can begin by completing the contact form and briefly sharing what’s bringing you to therapy.

We’ll then schedule a free 15-minute consultation to discuss what’s been feeling difficult and whether working together feels like a good fit.

What is your fee?

keyboard_arrow_down

Sessions are 100 EUR for 50 minutes.

I also offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can discuss whether the work feels like a good fit before getting started.

Do you offer sliding scale sessions?

keyboard_arrow_down

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

If cost is a barrier, you’re welcome to mention this when reaching out and we can discuss current availability.

What is your cancellation policy?

keyboard_arrow_down

Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged the full session fee, as session times are reserved specifically for you.

Thank you for understanding and respecting the consistency this helps maintain within the practice.

Is there anything outside of your scope?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. Part of ethical care is being clear about what I do, and do not, provide.

I work with adults (18+) experiencing concerns such as anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, burnout, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, including the emotional impact of expat and digital nomad life.

Some situations require a higher level of support or more specialised care than I offer in private practice. This includes:
• 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 Insight Medical in Budapest. This clinic offers thorough psychiatric evaluation online.
• Full DBT programs requiring group skills training or 24/7 phone coaching

I integrate DBT principles into my work, but I do not provide a full DBT program.

If a different level of care is needed, I’ll help guide you toward appropriate support or referral options.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

keyboard_arrow_down

My practice is fully online, and sessions take place via secure Zoom video calls.

Working online allows me to support expats, digital nomads, and internationally mobile clients wherever they’re based, while offering flexibility and continuity across time zones and travel.

Online therapy is well-supported by research and can be highly effective for concerns such as anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, and life transitions.

Is your practice LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive of diverse identities?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to being a respectful, inclusive space for people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds, and relationship structures.

I aim to create a space where you can show up as you are — without judgement, assumptions, or the pressure to explain or defend your identity.

Do you offer mental health workshops for international companies or remote teams?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes — I work with organisations, offering workshops designed for expats, remote teams, and globally mobile professionals.
