Therapy for Expats
Book a free discovery call to explore how therapy can help you navigate life changes, stress, and cultural adjustments.
Moving and living abroad can be an exciting adventure, but it also comes with unique emotional and psychological challenges. Whether you're adjusting to a new culture, dealing with homesickness, or facing the complexities of expat life, therapy can provide the support you need. Expat therapy with Odyssey Wellness helps you navigate these challenges, build resilience, and find a sense of belonging, no matter where in the world you are.
Do Any of These Challenges Resonate?
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed?
Uprooting your life might bring up feelings you didn’t expect—grief, anxiety, or even guilt about what you left behind.
Struggling with loneliness?
Building meaningful connections in a new place can feel isolating, especially if you’ve left behind close friends or family.
Dealing with culture shock?
Adapting to new systems, social norms, and even small daily routines can feel exhausting and disorienting.
Questioning your identity?
Constantly adjusting to new environments may leave you wondering where you belong or who you are outside of external roles.
Facing relationship strain?
Moving can create tension in relationships as you and your partner (or loved ones) cope with change in different ways.
Feeling pressure to ‘make it all worth it’?
The expectation to thrive in this new opportunity can make it hard to admit when you’re struggling.
If you’re nodding along, know that you don’t have to navigate these feelings on your own. Therapy can help you process your experiences, reduce overwhelm, and build a sense of stability and belonging.
Let’s work together to make this transition feel lighter.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You will have a 15 minute discovery call with me to make sure we are compatible. We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, goals you may have, and what you are looking for in an effective therapist. We will also make sure we are a good fit in terms of fees and schedule availability.
Our first few sessions will be about getting to know you better, setting some goals or areas of focus, and just getting into the rhythm of our therapeutic work together. From there, some people choose to pursue short-term therapy, often focused on resolving a specific issue. Others may benefit from a longer term approach, allowing for deeper work that allows me to help you to move forward and establish strong foundations for long-term change.

If you are in Singapore, I offer in-person sessions at Peninsula Plaza (City Hall MRT).
If you’re outside of Singapore, or if you simply prefer virtual sessions, we can meet online.
It’s important to ensure that you have a stable, strong internet connection and a quiet, private space to attend sessions virtually, in order to have the most positive and effective experience of therapy.
