Counselling for UK & Irish Expats in Australia

Moving to Australia is exciting - and it’s also really hard. There’s pressure to settle in straight away, find friends, along with the guilt from leaving home and feeling homesick. Counselling can help you adjust to life abroad, feel grounded, supported, and at home within yourself.

Feeling Lost After Moving? You’re Not Alone

When you move abroad it’s supposed to be exciting - a new chapter. But often times the pressure of it being “amazing” can lead to complicated feelings. You might be experiencing:

  • Homesickness or missing family and friends

  • Loneliness or isolation

  • Relationship strain or tension with loved ones

  • Anxiety, stress or “culture shock”

  • Feeling guilty for not loving it here as much as you “should”

All of these feelings are completely normal and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

How I Can Support You

I’m Georgina, a UK-trained counsellor now based in Australia. Having made the move myself, I understand the nuance behind what we “should” feel versus what we actually feel. I will work with you to:

  • Process the emotions that come with moving abroad

  • Feel less isolated and more grounded in your new life

  • Explore grief, loss or identity shifts

  • Build confidence and self-worth as you adjust to your surroundings

All sessions are online, so you can access support no matter where in Australia you’re based.

If you’re ready to feel more supported and grounded in your new life abroad, book a free 20-minute consultation with me to see how counselling could help you.
