Sometimes the greatest journey is not to a new country, but to a deeper relationship with yourself.
Jungian Analysis for Expats
Sometimes moving abroad changes more than your address.
Living in another country can be exciting, expansive, and full of possibility. Yet beneath the surface of adaptation and discovery, many expats encounter something unexpected.
A sense of not quite belonging—anywhere
You may feel disconnected from your surroundings or from yourself. Identity can become less fixed, more fluid, sometimes uncertain. Relationships may shift. Familiar ways of coping may stop working. And even when life appears successful from the outside, something inside may feel out of alignment.
From a Jungian perspective, these experiences are not simply problems to be resolved. They can also be understood as expressions of an inner process—an invitation into a deeper relationship with the psyche and therefore with yourself becoming more authentic as a result.
When relocation becomes an inner journey
Moving abroad often asks more of us than practical adaptation.
It can challenge long-held assumptions about identity, meaning, and belonging. What once felt stable may begin to shift. What was familiar may no longer feel like home.
Questions may arise such as:
Who am I becoming in this new context?
Why do certain patterns keep repeating in my life?
Why do I feel restless, even when things are objectively going well?
Where is home now, in a psychological sense?
In Jungian terms, these questions are not signs of failure or disorder. They often mark the beginning of individuation—a deeper process of psychological development and becoming.
Why I work with expats
I know this world from the inside.
Born and raised in the Netherlands and now living abroad in Germany, I have personally experienced what it means to leave the familiar and build a life in a different cultural context, however subtle it can often be.
Before becoming a Jungian Analyst, I worked in an international environment alongside colleagues from many different countries. I witnessed both the richness of that experience and its hidden challenges: loneliness, identity shifts, relational difficulties, burnout, anxiety, and the subtle experience of living between worlds.
These experiences did not only shape my understanding—they shaped my direction.
After completing my multi-year professional training in Jungian analysis at the Jung Academy in Amsterdam, I knew I wanted to dedicate my work to people navigating similar inner and outer transitions.
Today I work online in English and Dutch with expats, internationals, and globally mobile individuals who are seeking more than adaptation. They are looking for depth, meaning, and a more conscious relationship with themselves.
n addition, I collaborate with internationally oriented professionals, relocation networks, and expat-focused organisations, where employers increasingly recognise the value of psychological support for sustainable performance, wellbeing, and long-term adaptation in international work contexts. In some cases, companies may contribute to individual development or reflective counselling processes as part of broader wellbeing or expat support initiatives. If this is relevant in your situation, you may wish to explore this with your HR department.
My approach as a Jungian Analyst
My work is grounded in Jungian depth psychology and the tradition of analytical psychology.
Together we explore the symbolic language of the psyche—recurring patterns, emotional experiences, dream material, imaginations and questions of meaning. Rather than focusing on diagnosis or quick solutions, this work supports the gradual development of awareness of unconscious dynamics and their influence on your life.
At the centre of this process is individuation—the movement toward becoming more conscious, more integrated, and more fully yourself.
Is this work for you?
This work may resonate if you:
find it difficult to feel at home after relocating
experience a sense of disconnection from yourself or your environment
struggle with anxiety, restlessness, or emotional overwhelm
notice recurring relational or behavioural patterns
are in a significant life transition
feel a pull toward deeper meaning and psychological development
Begin where you are
You do not need clarity before reaching out.
Often, the starting point is simply a willingness to engage differently with your experience—with more reflection, curiosity, and space.
If something in your life feels like it is asking for attention, this may be a place to begin listening.
