Professional therapy for individuals & couples living abroad

Support to help you build a life of clarity, confidence, and connection.

Expatriate Therapy is an online therapy practice based in Australia, working with expats, accompanying partners and couples living around the world.

Welcome to Expatriate Therapy. I’m glad you are here.

Expatriate Therapy is founded by Corene Crossin, a licensed psychotherapist specialising in expat mental health and wellbeing. Corene has worked with individuals and couples across 15+ countries. She is the author of The Relocated Self: A Guide for Expat Partners.

My name is Corene Crossin, and I am a registered psychotherapist, author and educator who works with expats, expat partners, couples, global nomads and people navigating major turning points. I help clients find stability, direction and connection when the road ahead feels uncertain.

Whether you’ve relocated, followed a partner overseas, changed careers, or simply feel unsure about what is next, my role is to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My approach blends evidence-based psychological tools, deep empathy from my own lived-experience with practical mindset strategies. I draw on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (AC), Solutions Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, the Gottman Method and Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) - combining them with a compassionate, supportive style that supports understanding and change.

I have lived and worked as a senior executive in the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia. I know what it’s like to build a life in a new country from scratch. I know the psychological, emotional and relationship challenges that come with leaving behind familiar roles, identities, and support systems.

Over decades of living and working across cultures, navigating career shifts, leading businesses, and moving through personal loss, grief and reinvention, I experienced firsthand how disorienting and transformative life as an expatriate can be.

That’s why I founded Expatriate Therapy: to provide accessible, compassionate support for people navigating life’s turning points.

Why expat life led me to this work

I draw on my lived experience and advanced therapeutic training to offer you evidence-based and compassionate support. I believe that when change and challenge are met with the right support, they can lead to deeper resilience, growth, and a life more aligned with who you truly are.

What it is like to work 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. Therapy is 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).

The Relocated Self: A book for expat partners, releasing early 2026

The Relocated Self is a book I have written for accompanying expat partners and trailing spouses whose lives changed when they move for someone else’s career. It speaks to the emotional side of relocation that often goes unseen, even inside the relationship.

The Relocated Self will be released in early 2026. If you would like updates and an early sample chapter, you can join the list below.

Therapy that fits your expat experience

Expat life offers opportunity and excitement, but also unexpected psychological, emotional and relationship challenges. Many expats I work with experience homesickness, isolation, grief, relationship strain, anxiety and depression.

But your own expat experience is unique, and impacted by your personal history, the country you live in and the quality of support available to you. That’s why I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.

Instead, I offer professional therapy that’s flexible, collaborative, and grounded in understanding of what will work best for you. I combine evidence-based therapeutic techniques with real-world insight to meet you exactly where you are.

Together, we build a space where the challenges of being an expat are not just something you survive, but something you learn to navigate with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.
