Living abroad and no longer knowing exactly where “home” is
Moving to another country can bring opportunity and, at the same time, a particular kind of loneliness or divided belonging.
After years abroad, something unexpected can happen: the new country is everyday life but you may not feel completely “from here”, while returning to Greece no longer feels exactly like returning to the old home.
This in-between position can affect relationships, family, choices and identity. It is not necessarily a problem that needs to be solved; it may be a reality that needs room.
Language can matter too. Some feelings are described differently when we speak the language in which we first learned to name them.
For online counselling from abroad, availability is reviewed according to the country where the adult will be physically located during the session.
