Do you start feeling tense weeks before flying home for Christmas?
You're not alone. Many expats describe the family visit as something to "get through" rather than simply enjoy: clashing expectations, old conflicts, stress, guilt, disappointment, loneliness, and the strange feeling of not quite fitting in either place anymore. These are common challenges for people who live abroad, and they can have a real impact on quality of life, sometimes leading to symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety.
I am an authorised psychologist and psychotherapeutically trained, with both personal and professional experience of the challenges of living abroad. My approach is trauma-informed and takes intercultural experience and minority identity into account in the complexity of navigating adult life and relationships.
As a newly authorised psychologist, I offer time-limited, low-cost short-term counselling to immigrants in Denmark this winter. The process is evidence-based. It will support you as you prepare for your travels, help you navigate family dynamics and set boundaries, strengthen your overall sense of self, and help you come back with more energy, not less.
Weekly or every other week, 50 minutes, November–December 2026, plus a free follow-up call in January
In the clinic in Aarhus C, online, or walk-and-talk
The course is non-binding, and we start with a free call to get to know each other. Book now to finish the course before you leave, or send me a message on WhatsApp: +45 40 58 48 69.
Take care,
Camilla
