Counseling in English

Loving life is easy when you are abroad. Where no one knows you and you hold life in your hands all alone, you are more master of yourself than at any other time.

Hannah Arendt

Studying Abroad in Italy / Tuscany: Are you a student studying abroad in Italy and do you feel lost?

Working Abroad in Italy / Tuscany: Have you moved to Italy for work/family reasons and are you experiencing loneliness, disorientation and difficulty in terms of socialization/ community integration?

I am familiar with these feelings because my husband is British and we have struggled to raise our children so that they are fully integrated in Italy and at the same time are able to cultivate their British roots. I have also worked, for twenty years, in an international organization with students coming from different part of the world . As such I am fully aware of the danger of isolating yourself  in an ivory tower with your international colleagues, missing the opportunity to interact with Italians as well as the feeling of isolation and homesickness.

In my experience, living abroad is an extraordinary opportunity to rebuild yourself, to focus on who you want to be. I am happy to support you in seizing this opportunity and I am comfortable in using English in counseling sessions.
