Your relationship deserves a space that feels familiar, wherever you live.
Building a life abroad can be exciting, lonely, and unexpectedly hard on a relationship. When everything around you is changing, it helps to have a place to talk in the language you feel most yourself in. Online couples therapy offers that space.

The invisible weight of moving abroad
A move can change everything around a couple: friendships, work, family support, routines, even the roles you once knew how to play.
Perhaps one of you feels at home while the other feels lost. Perhaps you come from different cultures and have different expectations of family, closeness or independence. Or perhaps the relationship has become the place where all the stress of expat life lands.
You don't have to untangle all of that on your own. Therapy can help you understand what's happening between you, not just what's happening around you.
When you live between countries, languages or cultures, your relationship can become an anchor. It can also carry more than either of you expected.

I'm Francesca, a systemic therapist working in English with international, expat and neurodivergent couples.
My work draws on systemic psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Relational Life Therapy. We look at the emotional patterns beneath everyday arguments, the stories each of you brings, and how to create real change together.
I'm not a silent observer. I'll be actively alongside you, offering honest reflections, compassionate challenges and practical ways to turn towards one another.
