I am an expat life and identity coach based in Belgium, working online with clients across Europe. My clients are people who have been abroad seven years or more. The residence permit is sorted, the career is going well, the friendships are real, and something underneath still does not fit. That gap, between a life that looks right on paper and the person quietly living inside it, is the work. It is familiar territory. I moved from Ukraine to Belgium sixteen years ago, holding a master's degree in psychology that I did not use. I built a career in sales and product management instead, because it was the more practical route, and by most measures it worked. It took years of therapy, becoming a mother twice and a pandemic before I returned to the profession I had trained for. Long-term expats become very good at being the version of themselves that a new country asked for. Over time it becomes difficult to tell which parts were chosen and which were adapted. From the outside nothing looks wrong, which is precisely what makes it hard to raise. I work on being rather than becoming. Becoming has an endpoint, and you arrive to find you are still yourself. Being is something you practise. The work itself is practical. I guide you from where you are now, through the fears, the resistance, the negative inner dialogue and the predispositions you never chose, towards the thing you have always wanted for yourself and have not yet dared to go for. What I bring to a session is the capacity to stay with you at your least flattering, without flinching and without rescuing you from it. I find the real blockage quickly, name what you have been circling, and hold you to what you already know. Clients leave the work with strength and calm, with acceptance, and with somewhere solid to build from.
