Becoming an expat is a wonderful experience but for many - men or women, adults or children, single or in a relationship or married - migrating and adjusting to expat life comes with emotional difficulties that could lead to loneliness, depression, anxiety, anger, stress, alcoholism, sleep disorders and more. The strain of settling into a new country can also affect your overall wellbeing.
Apart from mental health problems, expats may also experience self-development or career difficulties (e.g. burnout), relationship problems, trust issues and others that could benefit from professional help. Speaking to a qualified professional can help individuals, couples, families and children navigate these challenges.
Here's a list of expat-friendly therapists (counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists) offering therapy in English and other languages in Zurich, Geneva, Basel, St. Gallen and other Swiss cities, as well as online, to help you, your friends or your family members who suffer from mental health issues.
