Maak kennis met Elena
ACT-based support for expats in the Netherlands
Online sessions in Russian and Dutch.
I offer online coaching and psychosocial support for expats experiencing stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions.
My work is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) — a modern, evidence-based approach focused on emotional flexibility, resilience, and meaningful change.
I support people who are:
- adapting to life in a new country
- dealing with stress or burnout
- feeling emotionally stuck or overwhelmed
- navigating personal change, identity shifts, or uncertainty
My approach combines ACT, trauma-informed work, and experiential methods in a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space.
Having lived in the Netherlands for 20 years and personally experienced migration, I understand the emotional challenges of building a life abroad from both a professional and personal perspective.
