what happens when home changes?
Sometimes moving overseas changes more than your address; it changes your relationships, your confidence and the sense of who you are. You expected to learn a new language but didn't quite anticipate how the move might change you.
Online conversations for English-speaking expats navigating life between countries, cultures and different version of themselves.

relationships changing

Meet Luciana
why talk with me?
I moved back to Croatia believing I was coming home. Instead, I discovered something I wasn’t expecting. Home had changed and so had I.
For more than twenty years I’ve worked in counselling psychology in Australia.
I’ve spent more than 20 years working in counselling psychology in Australia. I’ve also lived between countries myself, so I understand that moving countries often shifts much more than your physical location.
My role isn’t to give you advice or the answers. It is to help you hear your own direction more clearly.
