Support for the Emotional Realities of Living Abroad
​​
Counseling offers a dedicated space to slow down and look at the real-life challenges you’re facing — emotionally, relationally, and personally — and how living internationally may be adding an extra layer of stress, isolation, or complexity.
Whether you’ve recently relocated or have been abroad for many years, we can work together on navigating major life changes, processing complicated feelings around loss or transition, strengthening relationships, and making sense of how life abroad has shaped your experience over time.
​
If you’re not sure whether what you’re experiencing fits neatly into a category, that’s very common. Many people come to counseling because something feels off, heavy, or overwhelming — or because they’re struggling with a situation that feels harder to handle without their usual support system. I’m happy to talk with you and explore what kind of support would be most helpful for you.
​
Note: All sessions are conducted in English.
Optional walk-and-talk sessions are available as part of my approach.

“Meetings with Erin feel warm and conversational, but in reality are thoughtful counseling sessions.

I approached her for advice on acclimatising to the Dutch school system, but her tips and emotional support really helped me on a personal level too. I honestly don’t think our family would have settled in so quickly without her.”
