Supporting You Through the Challenges and Potential of Migration
Migrating to a new country or city is a life-changing experience, full of opportunities but also challenges. While you navigate legal processes, cultural adjustments, and uncertainties, it is common to feel stressed, lonely, unsure about your decision to relocate or emotionally drained. Migration also continues to raise challenges as time unfolds, and loved ones in your place of origin go through significant milestones in your absence.
I provide non-judgmental, specialized counselling to help people facing the mental and emotional difficulties that can arise during the migration journey. As a migrant myself, I understand the specificities of this experience, and can help you regain a sense of balance, direction, and well-being. I respect the nuances of different cultural backgrounds and work in a way that honors each person and their cultural identity. My approach is tailored to your unique situation, ensuring that the support you receive is relevant and effective.
Whether you are feeling anxious about the future, dealing with homesickness, or struggling to adjust to life in a new environment, I am here to listen and provide practical tools to manage your stress. Here are some of the services I provide:
