Culturally Sensitive Coaching for Expats & International Professionals

You live between cultures – and you're looking for clarity, orientation, or simply a space where you can be fully yourself? I offer culturally sensitive coaching for expats and international professionals in Berlin – biographical, intercultural, and flexible in language. Whether you want to arrive privately or professionally: this is a space where your questions, contradictions, and stories belong.

When is expat coaching useful?

You’re internationally experienced – but still not feeling at home?

Do you feel...

  • like you haven’t fully arrived yet?
  • out of place or uncertain in your new culture?
  • overwhelmed by expectations at work?
  • unclear about your future in Germany?

Let’s work together to help you find your orientation – and feel truly at home.

Coaching for Expats – with intercultural & biographical depth

Hi, I’m Miriam – Alternative Practitioner for Psychotherapy & Culturally Sensitive Coach

What I offer is not classic coaching. And it’s not traditional therapy either.
It’s a unique blend of methods drawn from:

✔️ Intercultural coaching

✔️ Systemic counseling

✔️ Biographical work

✔️ Narrative therapy

In other words:

You’ll benefit from both intercultural expertise and solid psychological methods.

🌍 If you...

  • You’re living between two cultures
  • Sometimes you don’t know what to say - or how to say it
  • You want a safe space to reset and reorient
  • You feel that your story needs a new direction
  • You want to be more than “a skilled worker,” “a migrant,” or “someone’s partner” → You want to be seen as a human being with a story worth telling

👉 then you’re in the right place.
