How do I know the therapist actually understands expat life?

Every psychologist on Expathy has lived abroad themselves. It is a hard requirement, so your therapist knows culture shock, identity shifts, and the loneliness of building a life far from home from the inside.

What issues does expat therapy cover?

Expat therapy covers the emotional strain that comes with living outside your home country. That includes culture shock, homesickness, identity confusion, loneliness, relationship strain from relocation, career anxiety abroad, burnout, and grief over the life you left behind.

Can I have sessions from any country or time zone?

Yes. Expat therapy online runs through secure video sessions, and our psychologists work across multiple time zones so you are not stuck with one country's office hours.

What if my matched therapist isn't right for me?

You can switch any time. No forms, no awkward explanation, no pressure to stay with someone who does not feel right. We will rematch you with another psychologist.

How many languages do you support?

Expathy supports 35+ languages, including Spanish, Turkish, German, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, Italian, Polish, and more. We match you with a psychologist who speaks your native language because therapy is easier when you can say the thing exactly as you feel it.

Is the first session free?

Yes. Every new client gets a free 20-minute first session with their matched psychologist. No card, no payment, no commitment, just enough time to feel whether the fit is right.

How much does it cost after the free session?

Sessions start at 89 EUR for a 2-session starter pack. The most popular plan is 4 sessions at 79 EUR per session, and the 8-session plan is 69 EUR per session. No subscriptions and no hidden fees.

Are sessions covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by insurer and country. We provide receipts and session summaries that many clients use for reimbursement, and expat health plans often include mental health cover. Check your own policy before booking.

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.

No support nearby

You left your people behind. New friendships abroad take years, not weeks, and the quiet days can get heavy.

Nobody really gets it

Locals do not see the constant adaptation. Other expats understand for a while, then their contracts end and they leave too.

Life admin wins

Work, visa paperwork, a new language, and basic errands keep taking over. By the time you have space to look for therapy for expats, you are already worn down.

Repeating your story

You have explained your background to three therapists and still feel unseen. Expat therapy should not start with convincing someone that your life abroad is real.

SIMPLE PROCESS

How It Works

Three steps to feeling understood.

WHY EXPATHY

Built Exclusively for Expats

Not adapted, not repurposed — built from scratch for people living between cultures.

Therapists who lived abroad

Every Expathy psychologist has personally lived abroad. That is a hard requirement, so you do not start by teaching your expat therapist what relocation does to a person.

Native Language Sessions

Therapy lands differently in your mother tongue. Expathy offers 35+ languages and matches you with a psychologist who understands your words and the culture behind them.

Expat-specific support

Our therapists work with culture shock, homesickness, loneliness, identity strain, relocation grief, relationship pressure, career anxiety abroad, and burnout. Some clients call it expat counseling, others expat counselling, but the need is the same: support built around what life abroad actually does to you.

Matched in 30 seconds
