Counselling for Global Nomads

Living and working abroad is hugely exciting and can really broaden your horizons. At the same time it can sometimes be tough. Life has its ups and downs, but you don’t feel you want to bother your folks back home, who just feel too far away. Or  just don’t get it. So yes, life as a global nomad can be riveting but it can also be lonely.

So talking with someone who has professional as well as personal experience of the challenges and rewards of international life can be a huge relief as well as help you optimise the experience and grow from it.

You are welcome to come for a first free 30-minute intake where we explore how I might be able to help you and whether a one-off ‘nutcracker’ session would suffice, or whether you would prefer weekly/fortnightly sessions. I work both online and offline.

I am part of the Dutch healthcare system and can provide you with a list of insurers that will reimburse you for your sessions, depending on your insurance cover.

I look forward to meeting you.

All the best, Lysanne

Expat counselling expertise

I have worked as an international counsellor since 1997. Many of my clients have been able to embrace the opportunities created by the fact that their new host countries present a different kind of mirroring. Where as a Dutchwoman I was conditioned to be loud and opiniated, in Sweden I was first challenged, then enriched by a quieter more thoughtful approach to life. In time I learned to balance both these aspects of myself. I am sure you have plenty of examples like that from your own experience.

Here are some of the core issues that I have successfully helped clients to turn into opportunities for learning and growth.

• challenging life experiences without the support from home
• global nomad loneliness and relocation fatigue
• identity challenges through culture, work and intercultural relationships
• cross cultural relationship and parenting demands
• adult TCK challenges (3rd culture kids), such as endless restless roaming.
