Adjusting to relocation
Transitioning to a new country or considering immigration? I offer personalised support to help you manage the emotional and practical challenges, ensuring you adapt confidently and successfully.
Combining years of academic excellence and personal experience to provide compassionate migration therapy.
In my twenties, studying Social Work provided a strong foundation in human psychology. My research on the emotional effects of divorce on men revealed the challenges of letting go and moving forward, sparking my interest in further exploration. This led me to pursue an Honours degree in Psychology at the University of South Africa, broadening my understanding of psychological issues and reinforcing my commitment to helping individuals with their personal challenges.
In my forties, I achieved a significant milestone by earning a PhD at the University of Pretoria. My thesis explored the emotional impact on parents left behind after their children’s emigration, offering unique insights into the migration experience. This research was both academically enriching and personally transformative, teaching me key life lessons: to accept what is, to let go of what was, and to have faith in what will be. These lessons have deeply informed my approach to migration therapy, enhancing my ability to offer compassionate and effective support.
My focus on migration therapy stems from a deep understanding of the emotional challenges tied to major life changes. Early research on the impact of divorce revealed the complexities of adapting to new realities, sparking my interest in how people manage transitions. Further studies in psychology and a PhD on the emotional effects of parental separation after children’s emigration deepened my insights into migration struggles. This combination of academic knowledge and personal experience enables me to offer specialized, compassionate therapy tailored to those navigating migration.
