Does this sound familiar?

Grief can feel different for everyone, but after a significant loss or major life change, many people feel like the world no longer makes sense in the same way.

You may find yourself:
• Replaying conversations, moments, or final memories over and over
‍
• Feeling emotionally numb one moment and overwhelmed the next
‍
• Struggling with derealization, panic, or a nervous system that no longer feels settled
‍
• Feeling disconnected from the person you were before the loss
‍
• Unable to imagine the future in the same way
‍
• Questioning your identity, relationships, priorities, or sense of safety
‍
• Functioning “normally” externally while internally feeling exhausted or shattered
‍
• Feeling isolated because other people seem uncomfortable with your grief
‍
• Carrying guilt, regret, or persistent “what if” thoughts
‍
• Feeling pressure to be resilient, positive, or “moving forward” before you’re ready

For expats and internationally mobile people, grief can become even more layered.

‍You may be grieving while navigating cultural isolation, distance from family, disrupted routines, visa stress, relocation, or the loss of a life and future you imagined abroad.

Sometimes grief is not only about losing a person.

It can also involve grieving:
• Who you were before
• The future you expected
• A relationship
• A country or home
• A sense of stability
• A version of yourself that no longer exists

How I Can Help

My approach to grief work is shaped by both clinical training and personal experience with sudden traumatic loss.

After the unexpected death of my partner in 2021, I experienced firsthand how grief can affect not only emotions, but the nervous system, sense of safety, identity, and ability to imagine the future.

In addition to training in trauma-informed approaches including CBT, ACT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), I completed Megan Devine’s Professional Grief Care certification, which emphasizes compassionate, non-pathologizing support for people navigating profound loss.

Featured Podcast Conversations on Grief, Trauma & Life Transitions

Grief Out Loud

Traumatic grief, PTSD after loss, and grieving a future that disappeared in a moment
‍
In this conversation, I speak openly about the sudden death of my partner in 2021 and the reality of navigating grief that was both emotionally devastating and deeply traumatic. We explore how sudden loss can affect the nervous system, sense of safety, identity, and ability to imagine the future in the same way again.

We also discuss derealization, hypervigilance, grief and trauma overlap, “quasi widowhood,” the pressure to appear resilient, and why many people feel unseen in the aftermath of profound loss. The episode also explores the role Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) played in my own healing process and how trauma-focused approaches can support people navigating traumatic grief and PTSD after loss.

CultureXchange Podcast

The hidden grief of relocation, identity shifts, and life transitions abroad
‍
In this episode, I discuss the often invisible grief that can emerge during major life transitions, especially for expats and internationally mobile people. Grief is not only about the death of a person — it can also involve losing routines, relationships, identity, stability, community, or a version of yourself you thought would continue.

We explore the emotional impact of relocation, the nervous system’s response to uncertainty and change, the “in-between” feeling many expats experience, and practical ways to navigate periods of overwhelm with greater self-compassion and emotional awareness.

Your Therapy Journey

I offer trauma-informed online therapy for expats and digital nomads experiencing the aftermath of sudden loss, traumatic grief, PTSD after loss, complex grief, and life transitions that change who you are.

Free Consultation

We’ll begin with a free 15-minute consultation where you can share a little about what’s been happening and ask any questions you may have about therapy, grief work, or my approach.

There’s no pressure to commit. The goal is simply to see whether working together feels like the right fit.

Understanding Your Experience
‍
When we begin working together, we’ll explore how grief is affecting you emotionally, mentally, physically, and relationally. For some people, grief feels heavy and consuming. For others, it shows up as numbness, anxiety, hypervigilance, panic, exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from themselves and the world around them.

Together, we’ll begin making sense of your experience at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

Building Stability & Processing Grief

Over time, many people begin to experience more moments of steadiness, connection, meaning, and emotional flexibility alongside the grief they continue to carry.

The goal is not to erase what happened, "move on", or become the person you were before the loss. It’s to help you build a life where grief and continued living can coexist.

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.
