When life abroad feels heavy
Life in a new country brings many opportunities, but also pressures the people around you don't always understand. A therapist who knows your culture can help with:
Take the free PTSD test- Homesickness, loneliness and the strain of adjusting to a new culture.
- The pressure of language, work, studies and paperwork.
- Difficult memories or traumatic experiences from before or after you arrived.
- Raising children between two cultures, and the family arguments that can come with it.

Session times in German time
Germany is on Central European Time: UTC+1, and UTC+2 in summer. When you book, times are shown in your local time, so there's no difference to work out with a therapist who lives in another country.
The time difference with Egypt and the Gulf is only one or two hours, so evening times after work are easy to find.
Psychologist or psychiatrist?
A psychologist or therapist helps through talk therapy: understanding what you feel and learning practical ways to cope. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can also assess whether medication may help.
If you're not sure, start with a psychologist. They will tell you if seeing a psychiatrist would help.
