Changing Country or City

Changing where you live can mean separation from your support network of family, friends and neighbours. Moving country brings turmoil as even basics like phone and internet contact can become difficult. Your social status may change completely. And then there is the stress of arranging visas and work permits…

Moving somewhere new can be exciting, scary and stressful. It can bring just about any emotion into play. With big decisions at every turn, from where to live to schools to finding a new sofa, it can be overwhelming. Moving to a new country can add even more stress as you deal with setting up home and establishing yourself in a new community. In many cases you will also be starting a new job. It often also means doing these things with the added dimension of a new language and culture to understand.

Coaching can help you prepare for these changes both practically and emotionally. Being better prepared for your move can mean you and perhaps a family moving with you are more able to enjoy the new opportunities it brings.

Once you have moved, sessions with a coach can help you keep a sense of perspective when things get too much, help you understand how changes may be affecting those close to you either back at home or with you in your new location. Coaching can help you prioritize the things that really matter to you and get the most out of your opportunities as you grapple with the challenges your new life presents.
