Building a life abroad takes more than a move

Welcome! I'm glad you are here!
 

Many people relocate with hope and curiosity. But after some time, when the practical steps such as housing, work and paperwork is out of the way, questions begin to appear that nobody really prepares us for.  Over time, questions around work, belonging, identity and direction begin to surface. Questions about how to build a life that actually feels like yours. These are not always easy to talk about. They are rarely discussed. If you recognise some of these questions, you are in the right place.

This is a space for people who are navigating the deeper parts of living abroad. Here you will find thoughtful support and structured conversations that help you reflect, make sense of where you are, and move forward with greater clarity as you build your life in a new country.

Our Founder

Hello, I’m Adrienn. It's good to connect with you here!

​​

I first moved abroad to London and ended up living there for twelve years. Like many people who relocate, I had to begin again in ways I had not expected. The experience I had built before moving was not easily recognised, and for a while I found myself starting from scratch. I worked temporary jobs, learned how different systems worked, and slowly found my way back into meaningful work.

Within a few months I moved into consulting, and later I began working in education and community projects. Over time my work grew around supporting people who were navigating important transitions in their lives. I worked with young people, international communities and later with women building careers, projects and new directions for themselves.

Since 2013 I have been mentoring and coaching young people, and since 2020 much of my work has also focused on supporting women in areas such as leadership, wellbeing, careers and building meaningful work. After more than a decade in London, I reached a point that many people living abroad recognise. The pace of life, the pressure of work and the changes in my community led to burnout and a period of deep reflection. That moment became a turning point. I stepped away from my previous work and began developing my own projects focused on wellbeing, education, community and support. At the end of 2023, I moved again. This time to Spain.

Living through these transitions myself has shaped the way I work today. I understand how exciting and meaningful living abroad can be, but also how complex it can become over time. Today I support people who are building a life in a new country and navigating the cultural, personal and career transitions that often come with it. My role is to offer a thoughtful and structured space where people can step back, reflect on what matters to them, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

How I Support People

One-to-one coaching

This private container offers a space to talk through what you are experiencing, reflect on decisions, changes and questions that surface, in a structured and supported way.

Workshops

Small group spaces where participants reflect together, share perspectives and develop tools that support wellbeing and life direction.

Group programmes

Usually 4-7-week-long container in community to develop tools, introspect and reflect in community, to reconnect with what matters the most. 

Our work usually moves around three areas:

 

Making Sense of Where You Are

Many people arrive at a point where things feel unclear. A career path may have shifted after relocation. The social environment may feel fragile. There can be a quiet sense of disconnection between who you were before moving and who you are becoming now.

The first part of the work focuses on understanding your current situation. Through conversation and reflection we slow things down and look at what is actually happening in your life at the moment. This often helps people see their situation with more clarity and less pressure.

 

Reconnecting with Direction and Values

Living abroad can easily pull people into survival mode. Work, paperwork, language and practical challenges take up most of the energy. Over time it becomes harder to stay connected to what really matters.

In our conversations we often work with reflective tools such as journaling, mindfulness and values exploration. These help people reconnect with their priorities and understand what kind of life they are trying to build in the country where they now live.

 

Moving Forward in a Grounded Way

Once things become clearer, the focus naturally shifts towards action. This might involve thinking through professional choices, rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences, or finding ways to integrate more deeply into the local environment.

If you would like to explore working together, you can find the availablesessions and programmes below. 

Many people discover that the process of settling somewhere new is slower and more demanding than expected. Professional paths change. Social circles take time to rebuild. Language and cultural differences influence everyday life in ways that are not always visible from the outside.

People usually arrive here with different questions. Some are thinking about their work. Others feel unsettled after moving countries. For some, what helps most is having a space where they can slow down, reflect and talk things through with someone who understands the complexity of living between cultures.

I offer reflective containers for individuals and groups, where people can think through these experiences in a calm and structured way.  

What is Mental Health Coaching

Mental health coaching focuses on supporting wellbeing through structured conversations, reflection and practical tools. It offers a confidential and respectful space where clients can speak openly about what they are experiencing. 

Coaching is different from psychotherapy or counselling. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, it helps people strengthen their self awareness, develop helpful perspectives and build habits that support their wellbeing.

Many people find this kind of support helpful while navigating life transitions such as moving countries, adapting to a new culture, or rethinking career and life direction. Mental health coaching can also be helpful for people who are currently on a waiting list to see a psychologist or therapist and would benefit from structured support during that time.

If deeper therapeutic support is needed, working with a licensed psychologist or therapist may be more appropriate. If this comes up during sessions, we will discuss it together, and if necessary, I connect you to the right practitioner. 

Background & Training

My work sits at the intersection of wellbeing, education and career development. Over the past decade I have worked across community initiatives, mentoring programmes, coaching and higher education projects supporting young people, women and migrant communities. Alongside individual coaching I also design programmes and workshops that combine wellbeing, reflection and career development. These initiatives bring together people from different countries who are navigating important life and professional transitions.

Our Work Together

Building a life in a new country is rarely a straight path. Even when things appear stable from the outside, many people go through periods of questioning, adjustment and uncertainty.

If you find yourself in that kind of moment and feel that a thoughtful space for reflection could be helpful, you are welcome to reach out.

I work with people through individual coaching sessions and small group sessions that support reflection, clarity and personal direction while building a life abroad.

 

Below you can find the different ways we can together.

We also share updates about upcoming group programmes through our newsletter and LinkedIn page. When you sign up, you will occasionally receive reflections and practical insights related to the inner side of living abroad.

Testimonials

Individual Participant (coaching)

"...By not shying away from difficult conversations, Adrienn helped me focus on what I want, what I am good at and what I want to avoid. Bringing new and different methods and approaches to the sessions when it felt like I was stuck in my own head helped me to look at my applications from a different standpoint. I was able to streamline my applications by really bringing to the forefront my strengths and my passions instead of focusing on my weaknesses after reading all those rejection letters. Maybe more importantly, by helping me focus on what made my profile strong and compelling, Adrienn helped me regain my confidence which had gotten lost in the emotional turmoil that is job applications. In the end, due to my returned confidence, I was able to showcase my strengths and abilities in a set of job interviews, which ultimately scored me my dream job at an NGO. "

Cäcilia

Individual Participant (coaching)

"Working with Adrienn was instrumental in shifting my attitude towards self-compassion, positive thinking and growing clarity. She has a holistic approach that emphasizes intuitive thinking. Since my sessions with Adrienn, I got a remote job (which I was hoping for) but more importantly, I feel more confident in myself and less afraid of what is to come.

Silvana

Individual Participant (coaching)

"I signed up for 1-2-1 sessions with Adrienn, eager to enter the social impact field but feeling lost on how to stand out and secure a job. What I found exceeded my expectations. Adrienn's dynamic sessions not only focused on job-seeking but challenged my approach to the social impact sector, my potential role, and the essence of social impact work. She shared her experiences, offered practical resume advice, and expanded my understanding of the field's diverse roles. Adrienn encouraged me to critically assess my strengths, values, and unique contributions. Her coaching extended beyond the professional realm, deepening my understanding of my passionate social causes.”

"The [workshop] was outstanding, featuring clear explanations and interactive elements that kept me engaged throughout the session...

I would like to express my appreciation for the facilitator's expertise and the thought-provoking discussions that took place."

Through her work on youth engagement programs in Mexico, Adrienn has been instrumental in building stronger, lasting relationships that expand our reach and deepen our influence. Her broad skill set and comprehensive understanding of our organization amplify the value of her contributions, making her an invaluable asset to LALA. I certainly recommend her work."

LALA - Latin American Leadership Academy

Individual Participant (coaching)

"I was initially drawn to Adrienn when I felt lost in my career and life. Every session brought remarkable clarity and insight. From the start, I felt a strong connection and genuine support from her. Adrienn had a unique ability for revealing things I couldn't see on my own. Our conversations covered every aspect of my life, showing me how they intertwined. Through thought-provoking questions, she challenged my limiting beliefs and offered constructive feedback. This empowered me to unlock my true potential and make meaningful progress. After each session with Adrienn, I took bold steps towards dormant projects. I realized I didn't need perfect clarity; I could move forward despite fear and uncertainty."

Mojisola

"Adrienn provided me with an empathetic understanding and created a safe space for me to share. Throughout the sessions, I have been able to reflect on multiple aspects of how I approach and react to situations. It was super helpful to have the support of someone who has experienced similar situations and patiently converses to help us resolve our issues!"
