Welcome to ExpatLives Coaching & Culture
Expat Coaching
Expat coaching is about you - an international, an expat, expat spouse/accompanying partner,
someone working internationally or across cultures.
I can help you to thrive better, your concerns, your next steps and a lot more. When it comes to life coaching there are almost no limits to what I can help you work with.
Living abroad is not just about adjusting - it’s about growth.
Maybe you’re wondering how to build a career in a new culture, how to connect with others or your passions again, find your feet and feel more at home and balanced in your new surroundings.
Wherever you are, I can help you explore what inspires you, create goals that feel meaningful,
make the right decisions, and tackle the obstacles that may be holding you back.
We’ll work together to create a path forward that feels just right for you.
​​
Coaching offers a way to help you find your way (or a better way) in life, build confidence, and thrive while living abroad.
Maybe it's time to begin this journey - it's important and deserves care and attention.
Let’s make this happen, with growth, discovery, and fulfilment.
You have everything it takes to build a life you love, and I’d be honoured to help you get there.
​​​
Let’s start this journey together.
My Mission
Helping Internationals & Expat Spouses to thrive and truly enjoy their time living abroad
Living abroad can be an amazing experience, but it also requires a lot of (hard) work. Everyone in the family has different needs, you have to understand a foreign culture and maybe learn a new language, while missing familiar faces and safe surroundings. It is not an easy ride! I know, because I have been there.
​
I have lived the expat life - when I was lost, lonely, and frustrated, but more so when it was fun, fascinating and full of adventure. I can help you do the same - live the good part of the expat life.
You will discover what's important to you, in order to thrive as an expat or expat partner, and also learn about the differences between the culture you are living in and your home culture.
Do this for you - even though the whole family will thank you. There is a much better chance of the family thriving when you are thriving.
“ExpatLives has been a lifesaver for me. The coaching sessions helped me navigate in the new culture we were in. I highly recommend Helene. The combination of learning about the culture and finding out who I am in a new culture and without my career, was a huge game changer for me.”
- Lucinda Van Aart
“I was struggling to adapt to my new environment, but with Helene's help and great cultural knowledge, I was able to overcome those challenges and thrive in my new home.”
- Wen Lu
“I'm grateful for the support and guidance the coaching sessions provided me with. The personalized approach through the coaching helped me to set goals and achieve them.” Helene is very kind and empathetic and has a great way of mixing coaching with great
exercises and good advise.
I now feel I can be the best version of myself... and my family thinks so as well."
