“Living abroad can be exciting, enriching and full of opportunity, but it can also bring feelings of loss, uncertainty, pressure and significant change.”
At LACounselling I provide counselling in English for international professionals, expats, UN staff/humanitarian workers and spouses/partners of internationally mobile individuals living in Lausanne, Nyon, Geneva and the surrounding Lake Geneva region.
Support for International Professionals
Many of my clients are professionals working in international organisations, multinational companies and global institutions. While international careers are rewarding they can also involve high levels of responsibility, long working hours, work pressures, extended periods of travel and frequent change which can create strains on the individual and/or their partner.
Counselling can help you:
Manage stress and burnout
Improve work-life balance
Develop resilience during periods of uncertainty
Manage anxiety and perfectionism
Improve relationships at work and home
Clarify personal and professional goals.
Support for UN/NGO humanitarian workers
Those working in international development, diplomacy and humanitarian sectors often face unique pressure. Frequent relocations, demanding workloads, exposure to ciris situations and separation from family and support networks can all affect emotional wellbeing.
Counselling provides a confidential and non judgmental space to explore these experiences, process challenges and strengthen emotional resilience.
Support for Expat Partners
Whether you are navigating a recent relocation, managing workplace or family stress, experiencing relationship difficulties or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, counselling offers a confidential space to reflect, process and move forward.
You may be experiencing:
Feelings of isolation
Anxiety, stress or overwhelm
Difficulty adjusting and adapting to new place and role
Relationship or family challenges
Workplace pressures
Loss of identity following relocation
Grief for loss of a previous way of life, family and friends
Difficulty establishing a sense of belonging
A Safe and Confidential Space
My approach is warm, collaborative and tailored to your individual circumstances as I understand that everybody’s international journey is different. Together we can explore the challenges you are facing, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and create practical strategies that support you so that you feel more balanced and can move forward.
