Psychological support built for expat life — since 2009

The original expat psychologist — supporting internationally mobile people across the Netherlands since 2009

At Expat Psychologist the Netherlands, we’ve been supporting expats, internationals, and globally mobile professionals since 2009 — long before “expat psychology” was a recognised field. We know what it feels like to build a life in a country that isn’t yours, because many of us have lived it ourselves. Our team offers individual and couples therapy, ADHD and ASD assessments, burnout and anxiety testing, and Employee Assistance Programmes — in English and other languages, in person across The Hague, Leiden, and Amsterdam, and online wherever you are. Whatever brings you to us — a recent move, a relationship under strain, a question about your own mind, or simply the quiet exhaustion of life abroad — you’re in the right place.

Living abroad changes the shape of everyday life in ways that are hard to put into words. The friendships that take longer to build. The small cultural misunderstandings that quietly add up. The distance from family during the moments that matter most. None of this means something is wrong with you — it means you are adapting to something genuinely difficult, often while making it look effortless from the outside.

We work with people at every stage of that journey: those who have just landed and are still finding their footing, those who have been here for years and are only now noticing how much they have been carrying, and those preparing for the next move, with all the uncertainty that brings.

Our psychologists bring both professional training and lived international experience. Many of us have moved countries ourselves — for work, for love, for a fresh start — and we bring that understanding into every session, alongside evidence-based approaches tailored to you.

You do not need a diagnosis or a crisis to reach out. Sometimes the right time to talk to someone is simply when something feels a little off, and you would like to understand it better.
