Feeling stuck in survival mode?

Trauma-informed online therapy for PTSD, survival mode, hypervigilance, and nervous system exhaustion.

I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help clients process trauma, reduce hypervigilance, and feel safer in their bodies and daily lives again.

Does this sound familiar?

Living abroad as an expat or digital nomad can be exciting and full of opportunity — and it can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. The constant movement, cultural transitions, and lack of stable support systems can intensify trauma responses and symptoms of PTSD, especially when your sense of safety, identity, and belonging is disrupted.

For many expats and digital nomads, relocation stress and long-term adaptation can place the nervous system under continuous strain, making it harder to feel grounded, safe, or settled.

You might notice your body staying in a constant state of alert, as if something is wrong—even when everything seems fine.At other times, you may feel disconnected, numb, or like you’re operating on autopilot. Living abroad can make trauma triggers and PTSD symptoms feel stronger. Memories or flashbacks may surface more easily, and without familiar support systems, they can feel overwhelming.

Trusting others, feeling safe, or opening up emotionally can become more difficult—particularly when you’re frequently changing environments or relationships.

If you recognize yourself in this, I invite you to read “Living Abroad in Survival Mode: How to Tend to Your Nervous System”, where I share practical ways to regulate your nervous system and feel more grounded while living abroad.

If you're looking for trauma therapy in Europe, I offer online sessions using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) —an evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD.

How I Can Help

Trauma therapy is not simply about “talking about the past.” Trauma often lives in the nervous system, shaping the way you respond to stress, relationships, uncertainty, conflict, and even moments of safety.

Many people living with trauma or PTSD feel stuck in patterns of hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, overthinking, avoidance, or chronic exhaustion. You may logically understand that you are safe now, while your body continues to react as though danger is still present.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Together, we look not only at symptoms, but at the deeper survival patterns and beliefs that keep you feeling stuck.

Safety, pacing, and stabilisation come first. Trauma work should not feel overwhelming or retraumatising. We move at a pace that feels manageable, helping you build emotional regulation skills and nervous system awareness alongside deeper processing work.

The goal is not to “erase” difficult experiences, but to help you feel safer in your body, reduce hypervigilance and survival-mode responses, and reconnect with a greater sense of stability, flexibility, and presence in daily life.

Here’s how we’ll work together:‍

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is my primary approach for treating trauma and PTSD. It is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps you identify and work through trauma-related beliefs (“stuck points”) and reduce symptoms such as anxiety, avoidance, and hypervigilance.
I integrate complementary approaches when needed, including elements from CBT, ACT, and nervous system-based work, to support emotional regulation and deepen the process.
Safety, pacing, and stabilisation come first. We move at a pace that feels manageable, ensuring you feel supported before and during trauma processing.

Your Therapy Journey

I offer trauma-informed online therapy for expats and digital nomads, using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) — a structured, evidence-based treatment for trauma and PTSD — alongside integrative approaches when appropriate.

Free Consultation

We’ll begin with a 15-minute consultation where you can share what’s been feeling most challenging and ask any questions.

If we decide to work together, the early phase of therapy focuses on stabilisation; helping you feel safe, resourced, and able to regulate your nervous system before moving into deeper trauma work.

There’s no pressure to commit — this is a space to explore whether working together feels right for you.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

Once you feel ready, we can begin Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) — a structured approach typically delivered over ~12 sessions. In CPT, we work with trauma-related beliefs (often called “stuck points”) and gradually process the impact of what you’ve been through.

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

Integration & Ongoing Support
‍
‍After the structured CPT phase, we can continue working together to integrate what has come up in therapy. This may include deeper relational patterns, emotional processing, or parts-based/inner child work, depending on your needs.

Over time, sessions may space out as you build stability, confidence, and a stronger sense of safety in your day-to-day life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trauma Work

Do I have to relive my trauma?

No. CPT avoids re-traumatization by focusing on beliefs and narrative rather than forced exposure.

How many sessions will it take?

CPT protocols typically run 12–16 sessions, but we may adapt that based on your pace and other life demands.

What if I live abroad / in a different country?

I offer fully online therapy across Europe and beyond; I’m used to working across time zones and transitions.

What if I can’t afford many sessions?

I reserve limited sliding-scale spots for clients who are experiencing financial constraints. We can discuss this option during your free consultation.

Can I work on grief, anxiety, or relationship issues too?

Absolutely, if those feel intertwined, we weave them in. Trauma is rarely isolated.

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.
