Navigating Life with an English Speaking Therapist

If you’re an English-speaking expat in Sweden, recently relocated, or navigating life abroad, emotional challenges are common. You may be feeling isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed by cultural differences or relationship stress. I offer online therapy sessions via Zoom or MS Teams, providing a supportive space to help you process what’s going on and begin to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients connect with me from Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, rural Sweden, and other countries across Europe — including the UK, Ireland, the US, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and beyond. Many are looking for therapy in English that understands the emotional impact of living far from home.

About Your Coach and Therapist

Counselling Advice and Cultural Support in English

Whether you’re adjusting to a new culture, navigating a relationship with someone from a different background, or simply need a safe place to talk, I offer therapy for English speakers who prefer to work in their native language. I also support those who speak English as a second language and feel more at ease using it in a therapeutic setting.

And if we’ve worked together before in person in Stockholm, you’re welcome to reconnect with me online. To book a consultation or find out more about expat wellbeing support, contact me today.
