Treat Root Cause, Not Symptoms

Welcome – I'm So Glad You're Here

Moving abroad changes everything.

It's exciting, yes. A new country, new opportunities, maybe even a dream coming true. But what people don't always see is what happens underneath—the quiet struggles, the identity shifts, the loneliness that creeps in when everything familiar is suddenly gone.

I know, because I've lived it too.

I'm Janka (read more Why me) a psychologist, life coach, and fellow expat. I've walked the same winding road of starting over in a foreign land—rebuilding a life from scratch while trying to be strong for everyone else. And I know how heavy that can feel, especially when you're the one holding the family together. I was born in Czechoslovakia and I have lived in Germany, Sweden, Finland and was very close to Austria, UAE, USA, Great Britain and Japan. With years of experience in therapy and coaching, I help expats with the challenges, 3rd culture parenting and relationships.

You may have left behind your career, your community, your extended family…
You may be wondering where you fit in all of this.
You might be smiling on the outside but quietly thinking: "Why is this so hard?"

Being an expat brings incredible experiences—but also real emotional challenges that often go unspoken:

  • Culture shock and feeling like you don't belong

  • Isolation, homesickness, and a loss of identity

  • Pressure to "make it work" while your partner focuses on their new role

  • Parenting without a village, far from what's familiar

  • Grief for the life you left behind—even if this one is "supposed to be better"

Here's the truth:

You're not weak for struggling. You're human.
And you don't have to go through this alone.

As an expat family coach, I help spouses and families navigate the emotional side of relocation—so you can feel grounded, connected, and fulfilled in this new chapter of life. Whether you're adjusting to a move, feeling lost in your role, or simply need someone who gets it to talk to—I'm here.

This space is for you. Let's start where you are.

Together, we'll figure out where you want to go next.

We learn how to create fulfilling lives abroad together, I've got your back.
