Meet our therapists who offer support for expat and international clients
THERAPY FOR INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS AT HEATHWELL
Our therapists have extensive experience working with expatriates, international professionals, third culture kids, and globally mobile individuals and couples. Alongside many years of clinical experience, several have lived internationally themselves, giving them a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that come with living between cultures.
Whether you are navigating relocation, identity, belonging, relationships, career transitions, homesickness, or raising a family abroad, our therapists offer support informed by both professional expertise and lived experience. Sessions are available online across the UK and internationally, including for clients based in Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Monaco, with in-person appointments available from our Blackheath practice. We also offer in-person therapy intensives, which can be arranged wherever you are.
