I struggle with making my own choices and dealing with intrusive thoughts. The ACT course is a huge help in managing my thoughts; I feel calmer, more confident, and more grounded.

With Annette’s help—and by actually DOING the work—your life is guaranteed to change!

BETTINA ORVAI

Annette came up with very good questions I couldn’t ignore. I started on a new path, Annette helped me to cross over my limited assumptions and take action. Now I also look differently at the relationships with my mother and partner. I have become more aware of my roles in life, where my boundaries lie and where I have failed myself. Thank you Annette!

KAREN

Living in another country can bring a lot of confusion and forces us to behave as we believe is expected from us. I was not happy with my work but I did not know what to do, or change anything at all. And that was not the only question I had. I met Annette because I needed to find some clarity about my career. I loved our conversations. Annette took a holistic approach to really understand my deeper life context and broader perspective of what is really important for me. She helped me to clarify what my core values are and what really gives me energy at work. Her very good questions allowed me to think beyond my regular patterns and see what my dream job could look like. The work did not stop there, she also helped me to put my thoughts into doable actions and define the steps needed to get where I want. I am not there yet now I have a map to go there! Annette speaks fluently English, she understands which challenges expats might have living abroad and she has an amazing ability to make you feel very comfortable to open up and be vulnerable.

FAQs

I'm struggling with life in a new country. Can coaching really help?

Yes. Moving to another country can bring excitement, career opportunities, new perspectives and so on, but also loneliness, uncertainty, anxiety and a sense of losing familiar ground. Coaching can help you understand what you are experiencing, deal with difficult thoughts and emotions, and find ways to build a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

What can I expect from coaching with Annette?

You can expect a supportive and non-judgmental space wherein you can explore what is going on in your life. Together, we look at your thoughts, feelings, values and patterns, and translate your insights into meaningful and achievable steps. You remain in the driver's seat throughout the process.

What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

ACT is an evidence-based approach that helps you develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than letting them control your choices. You learn to make room for discomfort while focusing your energy on what truly matters to you and take action based on your values.

Do I need to know exactly what I want to change before starting coaching?

Not at all. Sometimes you simply know that something doesn't feel right, but you don't know yet what needs to change. That is a perfectly valid starting point. Together, we can explore what is underneath your uncertainty and gradually create more clarity about where you want to go.

Is this coaching only about adapting to life in another country?

No. Living abroad can be the context in which questions about identity, relationships, work, choices and the direction of your life become more visible. The coaching is about you as a whole person — and about creating a life that feels meaningful to you, wherever you live.
