As an immigrant myself, I understand the unique challenges that come with relocating, whether it’s a planned move or driven by urgent necessity. Moving alone or with family brings a complex mix of emotions—grief over the loss of familiar connections and anxiety about the unknown, alongside the excitement of new beginnings of building a new life that might be different to your culture and trying to find your steps toward your integration.
Having worked with immigrants and refugees in Egypt, and the UK, and through my online services, I had the experience working with clients in many cities around the world. I've helped individuals and families navigate the complexities of resettlement bearing in mind that each person’s experience is deeply personal, and within families, these experiences can vary widely across generations, sometimes leading to different challenges.
Together, we can process the emotional impact of this significant life change, whether it’s dealing with past difficulties that were triggered by the move or facing new stressors where we will work towards finding the balance between the grief of what’s left behind and the hope for what lies ahead.
