Living abroad, studying under pressure or facing change can stir unexpected emotions.

Living abroad, studying under pressure or facing change can stir unexpected emotions.

  • Identity, belonging and language can feel complicated
  • Academic struggles often have deeper emotional roots
  • You don’t have to face these pressures alone

As a counsellor, I provide a space to pause and reflect.

Studying in another country can intensify pressures that were previously manageable.

Crossing Borders is Never Easy

Some parts of us don't cross borders easily.

Growing up or studying between languages and cultures can be disorienting.

I offer counselling in English or French (or both).

I support young people in education or early work life who feel something unspoken is holding them back.

Do you have problems studying?

Psychodynamic counselling offers a space to explore what lies beneath repeated difficulties.

If thoughts feel different in English and French, bilingual counselling can help.
