Moving abroad is exciting, but it can also be quietly destabilising. A new culture, distance from family and old friends, a different language all around you, and the particular loneliness of building a life from scratch — these take a toll that's easy to underestimate.
Therapy that travels with you
As a BABCP-registered psychotherapist based in London, I work online with English, Latvian and Russian speakers wherever you've settled. You don't have to compromise on language, approach or rapport because of where you happen to live. We meet by secure video, at a time arranged around your time zone.
How I can help
I work with the unique pressures of expat life — cultural adjustment, isolation, identity, relationships strained by distance, and the sense of belonging fully nowhere. The therapy itself — understanding what's going on, feeling genuinely heard, finding a way forward — is every bit as effective online as in person, as the research consistently shows.
Sessions in your language
I offer therapy in English, Latvian and Russian. Doing this work in your mother tongue, rather than a second language, often makes all the difference. (Latviski · Русский)
Getting started
The first step is an initial assessment online — an unhurried conversation about what brings you, with no obligation to continue. You can book directly, choosing a time in your own time zone, or read more about how online therapy works first.
