Expat sex and relationship counselling
Support for intimacy, relationships and sexual wellbeing while living abroad
Moving overseas can be exciting but it can also bring unexpected challenges for your sex life, relationships and sense of connection.
I am an Australian expat living in the Netherlands. I offer sex and relationship therapy for individuals and couples. I understand the challenges of sex and relationships when moving overseas. It can affect intimacy, create strain in relationships, lead to disconnection, and bring up new feelings in your relationship. It can also impact communication, values, stress and overall emotional wellbeing.
How moving overseas can affect relationships and sex
You might be experiencing:
-
Lower sexual desire or changes in libido
-
Feeling emotionally or physically disconnected from your partner
-
Stress affecting intimacy or interest in sex
-
Differences in cultural values around relationships or sex
-
Uncertainty about staying overseas or returning home
-
Strain in long-distance or long-term relationships
-
Difficulty talking about needs, boundaries or desires
-
Feeling out of sync with your partner
These experiences are common. They do not mean something is wrong with you. Often they are a response to stress, change and adjustment.
