In this short video, I explain how my bilingual and bicultural background helps international couples understand conflict shaped by two cultural realities.

Expat infidelity couples therapy Copenhagen is relationship support for international and mixed-nationality couples living with cultural difference, relocation pressure or repeated disconnection.
I was born and raised in England and Denmark and, as an adult, have moved to, lived in and worked in nine countries. I help you separate cultural difference from the relationship pattern and establish what both of you need to change.
You can request a free discovery call, book a session with me, review my client policy or contact me directly.
The reviews shown here are shared by clients who have worked with me in therapy and chosen to reflect on their experience. They are collected via Google and displayed through an independent verification service, offering an open and transparent picture of how my work is experienced.
I am a certified psychotherapist (M.A.), the highest professional level recognised in both Denmark and England, and I work from my private practice in central Copenhagen as well as online.
For more than twenty years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families across multiple countries and cultural contexts. My work integrates depth-oriented psychotherapy with a calm, grounded Danish presence.
Alongside my clinical practice, I have continued advanced training in couples therapy, supervision, and relational work. I am recently completed Master Class Further Training in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT therapy) for couples.
I regularly meet with experienced senior psychotherapists in Denmark and abroad to reflect on my work, challenge my thinking, and continue developing my skills. This ongoing process supports the quality of my individual, couples, and family therapy, helping me offer thoughtful, ethical, and effective care.
My focus is simple: excellence, integrity, and impact.

Your relationship has become harder to protect while both of you are carrying the pressure, uncertainty and isolation of life abroad.
You need this service when conflict, betrayal, distance or uncertainty is affecting how you function as a couple abroad. There is no perfect threshold for asking for help. If the relationship no longer feels like a safe place to return to, that is enough reason to act.
In more than 21 years of practice, I have learned that international couples need more than therapy conducted in English. My lived experience across countries and cultures helps me recognise how language, religion, family expectations and belonging shape relationships. I identify what belongs to the cycle between you, what culture is intensifying and what must change.
A relationship crisis can become overwhelming when family, familiar routines and trusted support are in another country. You may be trying to work, parent and manage practical life while the person beside you no longer feels emotionally available.
I help you contain what is urgent and build enough structure to think clearly together. If the crisis is already governing daily life, book an expat couples session with me.
Differences in communication, family expectations, gender roles, money or emotional expression can become evidence that one partner is wrong, uncaring or impossible to understand.
I help you distinguish a genuine values conflict from a difference in learned meaning. Culture deserves respect, but it cannot be used to excuse behaviour that repeatedly harms the relationship.
Silence or withdrawal can feel especially frightening when your home, legal position or social world is connected to the relationship. You may seek urgent reassurance because the possible loss feels larger than the partnership alone.
I help you calm the alarm, identify the practical and emotional fears underneath it and ask directly for what you need without abandoning your boundaries.
Work demands, language fatigue, bureaucracy and responsibility for family in another country can leave little emotional capacity for conflict. You may withdraw because another conversation feels impossible to survive well.
I help you communicate the need for space without disappearing from the relationship. Your limits matter, and so does returning before distance becomes abandonment.
One partner may have gained work, status and community while the other has lost independence, language confidence or professional identity. Resentment can grow around sacrifices that were never fully named.
I help you make these imbalances discussable without reducing either partner to victim or offender. We identify what recognition, responsibility and practical change are now required.
You may be deciding whether to stay together while also facing decisions about housing, children, work, residence or returning home. The relationship and the country can become impossible to separate.
I help you slow the decisions down, identify what is known and establish which questions must be answered first. The goal is a decision grounded in reality rather than panic or logistical pressure.
If the crisis is active now, request a call or book a session so that we can establish what kind of immediate support you need.

Support when you need it most.
Your privacy matters. All messages are confidential and will not be shared. All written messages are deleted after 24 hours.
Understanding the pressure of international life matters, but therapy must also change how you respond to each other inside that pressure.
I will help you understand the relationship cycle, identify how relocation and cultural meaning intensify it and create practical changes in communication, boundaries and repair.
My professional role is active. I will challenge cultural assumptions, unequal sacrifices and destructive exchanges while protecting the dignity of both partners. You will leave with clearer responsibilities and next actions.
I separate the central relationship injury from the pressure surrounding it. The crisis may concern betrayal, loneliness or loss of trust, while relocation, work and isolation make every reaction more intense.
I will give you my assessment of what is urgent, what belongs to the couple and what requires practical change outside therapy. Context matters, but it must not obscure the relationship itself.
Yes. We can respect different backgrounds without treating every expectation as equally workable. A cultural explanation may create understanding, but it does not automatically make an action acceptable.
I help you identify the meaning each of you assigns to the conflict and establish standards that protect both partners. You need a shared relationship culture, not endless debate about whose country is correct.
Yes. Difficult conversations become harder when one or both partners must translate emotion while already overwhelmed. The more fluent partner may unintentionally control the language of the conflict.
I slow the conversation down, clarify meaning and make room for imperfect words. I work in English and Danish and understand the additional strain of building intimacy across languages.
Yes, but partnership requires more than surviving practical life together. Both of you need recognition for what you have gained, lost and carried since moving.
I help you renegotiate responsibilities, emotional availability and shared priorities. The aim is for the relationship to become a source of support rather than another demand neither of you can meet.
Clear decisions require the relationship question to be separated from fear about country, status, finances and children. We identify which conditions belong to staying together and which belong to where you live.
I will offer my professional view and challenge avoidance, but I will not choose for you. The decision must be one both partners can understand and take responsibility for.
A safer relationship may require clearer agreements about money, travel, family contact, language, parenting, social life and whose career receives priority.
I help you decide what must change and how you will recognise whether it is changing. The goal is a partnership that can hold cultural difference without making either person disappear.

You do not need to explain every cultural difference before you arrive. I begin with the present crisis and what must become safer.
I listen to both of you, identify the immediate relationship crisis and ask how relocation, language and cultural expectations are affecting it. I will not treat international context as either irrelevant or the explanation for everything.
If one partner needs dedicated work, I may recommend structured individual psychotherapy with me. For sustained relational development, you can continue through long-term couples therapy with me. For continuity and savings, consider a structured therapy bundle.
I ask what brought the crisis to this point, how life abroad is affecting each partner and what feels most urgent now. I ensure that both perspectives are heard without allowing the session to become another uncontrolled argument.
Before the session ends, I will offer an initial formulation and clear priorities. You should know what belongs to the immediate crisis and what form of continued work I recommend.
I ask what each belief or behaviour means within your history rather than assuming that nationality explains it. People from the same country can organise relationships very differently.
I remain curious about culture while being direct about impact, responsibility and safety. Neither partner will be required to represent an entire country in the therapy room.
our work should become longer-term therapy when the crisis has stabilised but trust, recurring conflict or the shared culture of the relationship still requires sustained attention.
You can continue through long-term relational work with me. Containing the emergency is important, but it is not the same as building a relationship that can thrive abroad.
Online sessions can support continuity when work, travel or temporary separation places you in different locations, provided the setting is private and appropriate.
I will help you decide whether online work is suitable and recommend a frequency based on urgency, time zones and stability. The structure must serve the therapy rather than create further strain.
A structured plan makes sense when the crisis requires continuity and international schedules make protected appointments especially valuable.
A planned therapy bundle provides significant savings and the security of a clear schedule. I recommend one only when it serves a defined purpose.
The focused phase has done its job when the crisis is contained enough for you to think, communicate and decide without repeatedly being pulled into the same emergency. This does not necessarily mean every relationship issue has been resolved.
I review progress openly and will not encourage unnecessary dependency. You may end the work, move into less frequent sessions or continue with long-term relational development. Returning later with a new difficulty does not mean the our work failed.
It is immediate couples support for international relationships in crisis, including the pressure created by relocation, language, culture and distance from familiar support.
I help you understand the relationship itself without removing it from the international life in which it exists.
Come when conflict, betrayal, withdrawal or uncertainty is affecting daily life and ordinary conversations are making the situation worse.
You do not need to wait for a final rupture. If the relationship no longer feels like a secure base abroad, I recommend seeking help now.
Yes. I help you understand the meaning each partner assigns to the conflict and distinguish cultural difference from incompatible expectations or harmful behaviour.
The goal is not to choose the correct culture. It is to build shared agreements that protect both partners.
Yes. A wish to return may concern identity, family, work, loneliness or the relationship itself, and these questions need to be separated carefully.
I help you clarify what the wish means and what each possible decision would require. I will not pressure either partner to stay in the relationship or the country.
Yes. Isolation can make the relationship carry every need for companionship, belonging and practical support, creating pressure that neither partner can sustain.
I help you address the couple’s responsibility while also identifying where community, independence and external support must be rebuilt.
I begin with the immediate crisis, hear both perspectives and ask how international life is affecting the relationship.
By the end, I aim to give you a clear initial understanding and practical priorities. You should know what we are working on and why.
Yes. Online work can be effective when both partners have privacy, reliable access and enough safety to participate honestly.
I will help you decide whether online or in-person work is appropriate, particularly when you are travelling or temporarily living apart.
Yes. I regularly work with international couples in English and Danish, including couples whose shared language is not the first language of either partner.
I slow important conversations down, clarify meaning and remain attentive to differences in fluency and emotional vocabulary.
The current fees are available when you book an expat couples session with me. Payment is by invoice and bank transfer.
If continued work is appropriate, a structured therapy bundle can provide significant savings and continuity.
Book an focused expat couples session with me and briefly tell me what feels most urgent.
If the available times do not reflect the crisis, contact me directly and tell me whether both partners can attend.
