Homesickness counselling & therapy in the Netherlands

Homesickness is a common experience when living abroad. You may miss your home country, family, friends, or the sense of familiarity and belonging you once had.

 

For expats and internationals, homesickness can affect your mood, motivation, and ability to settle into your new environment.

 

Therapy can help you process these feelings and find ways to feel more grounded and connected in your current situation. It can also support you in building a sense of belonging in your new environment.

 

On this page, you’ll find English-speaking therapists, psychologists, and counsellors in the Netherlands who offer support for homesickness and related challenges.

 

Many therapists offer both in-person and online sessions.

 

You can explore the profiles below to find a therapist who matches your needs and contact them directly.
