Anxiety and worry

Generalised anxiety, panic, OCD, phobias, PTSD and vicarious trauma.

Anxiety has a way of growing when the usual supports are a long flight away. Counselling offers a steady place to understand what sets it off, and to practise ways of meeting it that fit everyday life.

Craig works with generalised anxiety, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, post-traumatic stress and vicarious trauma, the kind that builds up in people whose work puts them close to other people's hardship.

Low mood and depression

Depression, bipolar disorder and the flat, grey stretches in between.

Low mood can be hard to name, especially in a place that looks like a holiday to everyone back home. Sessions focus on balance, routine and practical steps that hold up on difficult days.

Craig supports people living with depression and with bipolar disorder, alongside any medical care they already have.

Stress and burnout

Demanding roles, long hours, and work that follows you home.

Expat careers often come with more responsibility, longer days and fewer people to share the load with. Counselling is a confidential place to sort through work stress, set limits that stick and get some balance back.

Couples counselling

Communication, trust and connection, with both partners on the call.

A move abroad changes a relationship: one partner's job, the other's visa, distance from family, a new language at home. Couples sessions give both people room to be heard and to work out what comes next.

Sessions can be joined from one screen or from two places at once.

Teens and Third Culture Kids

Identity, belonging and the next move, for ages 13 and up.

Growing up between cultures is a gift and a puzzle. Many Third Culture Kids carry questions about home, friendships and identity that are hard to raise with parents.

Craig works with teenagers from 13 with a parent or guardian's consent, and with young adults on their own.

Life abroad

Culture shock, isolation, homesickness and big transitions.

Arriving, staying and leaving all take something out of a person. Counselling helps with the loneliness of a new city, the pull of family back home and the decisions that come with an international life.

Assessment

A structured look at what is going on, to plan the work well.

Some people want a clearer picture before they start. A structured assessment gathers history and current concerns into a written summary and a plan for the sessions ahead.
