Emigration Coaching
Emigration is about so much more than visas, work permits, and finding schools and a place to live. It is an emotionally charged, life-changing decision made in the face of so many unknowns, coupled with the stress of leaving and the overwhelm of arriving.
This is an area of coaching that I am really passionate about because, having done this myself, I understand how much a move like this impacts every aspect of your life, irrespective of why you are considering a move.
I have left my home country twice – once as a singleton, and again much later, when my partner and I set sail with our two kids, homeschooling them on our boat for three years before landing and deciding to settle in southern Chile in a vastly different culture, language and climate. After nine rollercoaster years, the dream had faded, and the pull of home and tribe brought us back five years ago, to yet another resettling process for the whole family.
So drawing on this varied experience, I specialise in helping people find clarity and gain support on their migration path.
WHY EMIGRATION COACHING?
- Are you stuck in ‘should I leave or stay’ decision-making?
- Have you made the decision to emigrate and are struggling with the emotional implications of your decision?
- Have you already moved countries, and are finding it difficult to settle and deal with the loss of what you left behind?
- Are you wanting to stay but battling to reconcile living with the triggers that made you want to leave in the first place?
I have developed an approach, which is tailored to enable each client get to a decision they are truly comfortable with and to manage the emotional implications of their choice. I work with them to anticipate and prepare for what lies ahead, and put structures in place to deal with issues as they arise.
