Psychotherapy and Coaching for Life’s Turning Points
Guiding you through the uncertainty of change toward a life built on clarity, confidence, and meaning.
Life Changes Us — And That's Where the Work Begins
My name is Corene Crossin, and I am a registered psychotherapist who loves to works with people who find themselves at major turning points — when the old ways of living no longer fit, and the future feels uncertain.
Whether you’ve moved, lost something important, changed careers, or simply feel unmoored, my role is to help you find a clear, confident way forward.
My approach blends psychological tools, deep empathy and therapeutic insight with practical coaching strategies, designed to help you reconnect with your values, rebuild your confidence, and move forward in a way that feels true to who you are becoming.
I offer a range of services to support you through change, and all new clients the opportunity for a free 20 minute consultation.
Change has shaped my life in ways I never expected
Change touches every layer of life — our relationships, our identity, our sense of belonging.
As a former expat and senior executive, I know what it’s like to build a life in a new country — and to face the quiet, personal challenges that come with leaving behind familiar roles, identities, and support systems.
Over decades of living and working across cultures, navigating career shifts, and moving through personal loss and reinvention, I experienced firsthand how disorienting — and transformative — major life transitions can be.
That’s why I founded Expatriate Therapy: to provide accessible, compassionate support for people navigating life’s turning points.
With professional training in psychology and counselling, combined with lived experience, my approach is both evidence-based and deeply human. I believe that when transitions are met with the right support, they can lead to deeper resilience, growth, and a life more aligned with who you truly are becoming.

I offer flexible, compassionate support, focused on you.
Every transition is different, and so is every person who moves through it.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
Instead, I offer support that’s flexible, collaborative, and grounded in understanding — combining evidence-based techniques with real-world insight to meet you exactly where you are.
Together, we build a space where change becomes not just something you survive — but something you learn to navigate with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.
What You Can Expect Working With Me
-
✓ Collaborative, You-Centered Work
We work as a team. Your goals, your pace, and your lived experience lead the way. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership — not something done to you, but something built with you.
-
✓ Compassionate Support During Uncertainty
Change can bring up fear, grief, doubt, and hope all at once. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where all of it is welcome. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin — we start exactly where you are, with acceptance and care.
-
✓ Tailored Therapeutic Approaches
I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities depending on your needs, including Internal Family Systems or IFS (to explore parts of yourself), Narrative Therapy (to help you reclaim and reshape your own story), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (to work through patterns that may be keeping you stuck).
FAQs
How does online therapy work?
Online therapy sessions are conducted through the Zoom secure video platform. You'll receive a private link to join your session at the scheduled time. All you need is a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a private space where you can speak freely.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Research consistently shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for most mental health concerns. For expatriates, online therapy offers the added benefits of continuity across moves, access to specialised expertise regardless of location, and the comfort of receiving support from your own space.
What if I am in a different location?
I offer flexible scheduling across multiple time zones to accommodate clients worldwide. When booking your appointment, you'll see available times in your local time zone, making it easy to find a convenient slot regardless of where you're located.
How is expatriate therapy different from regular therapy or counselling?
Expatriate therapy specifically addresses the unique psychological challenges of living abroad, including cultural adjustment, identity shifts, third culture kid experiences, and transition stress. As a specialist in this area, I bring both professional expertise and first hand experience as a former expat to help you navigate these specific challenges, rather than applying general therapeutic approaches that may not address the expatriate context.
Do I need a mental health care plan or doctor’s referral to book an appointment?
You don’t need a doctor’s referral to book an appointment with me.
If you are Australian, note that Australian Mental Health Care Plans fund sessions with Australian psychologists and social workers. As a registered psychotherapist, my sessions are not covered by Mental Health Care plans or Medicare payments. This means you do not need a referral from you GP to work with me, and there is no “gap” fee.
Are your services covered by health insurance?
Health insurance policies vary, and some may cover psychotherapy. I recommend checking with your insurance provider to find out what cover you have.
What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel?
I understand that life happens, and you may reschedule your appointment without charge within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment time. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a small fee.
