live your best life based on your values,
I can help you.
Life Coaching for
People Living Abroad
​​
Coaching is about you - you might be a local, an expat spouse/accompanying partner, an international, an expat or someone working across cultures.
When you live abroad it is not just about adjusting.
It’s about creating a life you want to wake up to every single day.
​​
​
If you can relate to just one of these sentences and is looking for a change
or transformation, you have come to the right place:
“I thought moving abroad would be exciting… but mostly it just feels heavy.”
​
“I don’t know who I am anymore since we moved.”
“I feel like I’ve disappeared behind my partner’s life.”
​
“I used to be confident… now I doubt myself all the time.”
“Everyone else seems to be coping better than me.”
“Even simple things feel hard here.”
​
“I’m exhausted, even when I haven’t done much.”
​
“I feel lost and don’t know what I’m supposed to do with my days.”
“I keep wondering if something is wrong with me.”
​
“My partner doesn’t really understand what this is like for me.”
“I feel guilty for not being happier about this life.”
​
“I don’t fit in here — no matter how hard I try.”
“I feel stupid when I don’t understand how things work.”
“Everything takes so much more energy here.”
“I miss feeling normal and being on top of things.”
“My life feels like it’s on hold because of this move.”
“I don’t know what I’m working toward anymore.”
"I used to feel useful — now I don’t.”
“I have no idea what I should do with my career here.”
​
“I feel lonely even when I’m around people.”
“I don’t have anyone here who really understands me.”
​
​
Not only do I have the personal experience from living abroad with and without family, but I also have the professional experience of helping people in these and many other situations - and it really doesn't have to relate to living abroad. It can also be goals, challenges or issues you would have dealt with living at home,
as a local.
​
​​
I specialise in helping people not only adjust to life abroad but to thrive in it.
Whether you're looking to set and reach a goal (short or long term), see opportunities, or you are struggling to find your footing, balance your everyday life, or rediscover your purpose, my coaching is for you.
​​
I am here to help you. We’ll work together online or offline
(just north of Copenhagen, Denmark)
to create a path forward that feels just right for you.​​
Is it time for this journey begin?
Let’s make this happen.

My Mission
Helping Internationals & Expat Partners to thrive and truly enjoy their time living abroad
Living abroad can be an amazing experience, but also require a lot of (hard) work. Everyone in the family has different needs, you try to understand a new culture and maybe learn a new language, while missing familiar faces and safe surroundings. It is not always an easy ride! I know, because I have been there.
​
I have lived the expat life - when I was lost, lonely, and frustrated, but also when it was fun, fascinating and full of adventure. I can help you to live the best part of your time abroad as an expat partner.
Discover what's most important to you, in order to thrive as an expat or expat partner, and 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.
“Helene has been a lifesaver for me. The coaching sessions helped me navigate in the new culture we were in. We had a rough start to our new life abroad but with Helene's help I found a way out of the dark cloud covering the opportunities that were waiting to be explored.
I highly recommend Helene as your expat and life coach. The combination of learning about cultures and finding out who I am in French culture and without my career, was a huge game changer for me.”
- Lucinda, UK -> France
"I have felt completely safe and supported in Helene's hands. She guided me confidently through
the process of moving abroad on my own. She prepared me not only for the positive aspects, but also for the possible challenges and bumps along. Through thoughtful questions and reflection, Helene helped me develop and gain a deeper understanding of myself, which made me feel well prepared and equipped for this new chapter.
Her coaching has given me both the courage and the motivation to continue my journey into the unknown - not only in my professional life, but also on the social side, which is very
important to me.
- Jens Hartwig,
Denmark -> Switzerland
"I'm grateful for the support and guidance the coaching sessions provided me with. The personal approach through the coaching helped me to set goals and achieve them. Helene is very kind and has a great way of mixing coaching with great exercises and good advise.
I am the a much better version of myself now... and my family thinks so as well"
- Sofia Hernández, Spain -> Denmark
