Do both partners need to be in the same location?

No. Sessions are online via secure video call. Both partners can join from different rooms, different cities, or even different countries, which is more common than you'd think for expat couples.

What if we speak different native languages?

Tell us both your languages in the questionnaire and we'll find a therapist who can work effectively with both of you. We cover 35+ languages, so this is rarely a blocker.

What if the therapist isn't the right fit for both of us?

You can switch at any time. If one or both partners don't feel comfortable, just let us know and we'll rematch you right away, no questions asked.

Is the first session free?

Yes. The free 20-minute introductory session applies to couples too. Both partners attend together at no cost, no commitment.

Can we do individual therapy alongside couples therapy?

Yes. Many clients do both in parallel. Your Expathy therapist can support individual work too, or refer each partner to a dedicated colleague.

How often should we have sessions?

Most couples start weekly, then shift to bi-weekly as things stabilize. Your therapist will recommend a rhythm based on where you are. There's no one-size-fits-all answer.

THE REAL CHALLENGE

Why Expats Struggle to Find the Right Therapist

You finally decided to get support — but finding someone who truly understands feels impossible.

Relocation puts pressure on everything

New country, new roles, new stresses. Couples who were solid at home often struggle abroad.

The trailing partner dynamic

One partner gave up career, friends, and identity to follow the other. Resentment builds quietly.

No shared support network

Without family or longtime friends nearby, all emotional weight falls on each other.

Different adaptation speeds

One partner thrives. The other struggles. The gap becomes a source of distance and guilt.

SIMPLE PROCESS

How It Works

Three steps to feeling understood.

1

Tell Us About Your Situation

A brief questionnaire about your languages, backgrounds, and what you're working through as a couple.

2

Get Matched Together

We find a licensed couples therapist suited to your combined cultural and linguistic profile.

3

Book Your Free Session

Start with a free 20-minute intro call, both of you, together.
