How does it work?
Therapy can help you make sense of what you’re carrying, and how to hold it differently.
Free call.
First, we’ll arrange a time to have a free 20-minute video call.
This is a space to meet, ask questions, and see if working together feels right for you, no pressure, no commitment.
You can share a bit about what’s going on for you, or just ask about how therapy works.
It’s also a chance to make sure you feel comfortable, especially if online sessions are new to you.
Ongoing sessions.
After the first session, we’ll continue with 50-minute online sessions, from wherever you are in the world.
We usually meet weekly, but we can adjust the pace to suit your needs.
Therapy with me is a mix of reflection and practical tools. Sometimes we slow down to make sense of what’s underneath; other times we explore small shifts that can help in daily life.
First session.
If we decide to work together, we’ll begin with an in-depth exploration of where you’re at now.
This first session gives us a starting point, space to reflect on what feels heavy, confusing, or unclear.
We’ll also talk about what you hope to get from therapy, even if you’re not fully sure yet.
CBT stands for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical, evidence-based approach that looks at how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are all connected.
It’s not about “thinking positive” or fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding the patterns that shape your experience, and learning new ways to respond that feel more supportive.
What is CBT?
For example:
Imagine you’ve just moved to a new country, and you find yourself thinking:
“I’ll never make friends here. This culture is just too different for me.”
That thought might lead to feelings of anxiety and loneliness, and because of those emotions, you might start avoiding social situations altogether.
Over time, this pattern can make it even harder to adjust or feel like you belong.
In therapy, we slow that pattern down and look at the situation, the thoughts that arise, how they make you feel, and how they influence what you do.
FAQs
Can therapy help with anxiety while living abroad?
Yes, therapy can be a supportive space to understand and manage anxiety, especially when it’s tied to transitions, social pressure, or adjusting to life in a new country.
Do you offer therapy in both English and Spanish?
Yes. Sessions are available in English or Spanish, and I work with many clients who feel more comfortable switching between languages or exploring how language connects to their emotional experience.
How does CBT help with identity, anxiety, or feeling stuck?
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are connected.
If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly doubting yourself, CBT offers practical tools to gently shift patterns, while still honouring the emotional complexity of your experience abroad.
Can I start therapy even if I’m not sure what’s wrong?
Absolutely. Many people begin therapy with a sense that something’s off, not a clear diagnosis or crisis.
Therapy is a space to make sense of the thoughts and feelings that feel too big, too quiet, or too messy to untangle alone.
Do I need a mental health diagnosis to start therapy?
No. You don’t need a diagnosis, a label, or a crisis to begin therapy.
If you’re feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, that’s enough.
Many people start with a quiet feeling: “Something’s off, and I don’t want to go through it alone.”
Can I cancel or reschedule a therapy session?
Yes, as long as you give at least 24 hours’ notice before your scheduled session.
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed sessions, are not refundable. I understand that life happens (especially across time zones) and I’ll always do my best to be flexible when possible.
