Moving countries changes more than your address.

Life abroad can bring opportunity alongside uncertainty. You may be balancing excitement with homesickness, adapting to a different culture, or navigating relationships across time zones. Some challenges only become clear long after the move.

An online conversation can offer continuity and a space to speak openly about the experience. Tell the practice which country you will be in so the practitioner can confirm whether they can work with you there.

  • Identity after a move
  • Relationships across distance
  • Family transitions
  • Work and cultural adjustment
  • Returning to South Africa

Working together

An approach you understand.

Sessions begin with the particular changes you are facing. You can explore how those changes affect your relationships, expectations, and sense of self, then agree on priorities with your practitioner. The focus is personal to you, rather than assuming all expatriates share the same experience.

Your first appointment

A conversation to begin with.

Before an appointment, confirm your location, time zone, suitable format, and how the practice would respond if you needed urgent local assistance. International availability is subject to practitioner scope and local requirements.

Riaan offers sessions online or in person in Silver Lakes, Pretoria East. Anna-Mart works online only. Confirm the current fee and duration before booking. The practice has a 24-hour cancellation policy.

Current fee information: Please enquire for current fees.

Availability: By appointment, subject to suitability and availability.

Fees & practical details

A few things you may be wondering.

Can I book from any country?

Please enquire first. Your location, practitioner scope, and local requirements affect whether sessions can be offered.

What time zone does the practice use?

The practice is based in South Africa (SAST, UTC+2). Confirm both your local time and the South African time when arranging an appointment.
