YOUR TERMS. YOUR RULES. YOUR EXPAT LIFE THE WAY YOU WANT AND DESERVE.
Let’s make this stage of your life a personal and professional growth opportunity. Together.
You can learn how to feel confident and optimistic, find the clarity you need to make the right decisions and enjoy your relationships, the ones you already had and the new ones you have cultivated while living abroad.
Your new life is full of challenges; I understand that you may miss your native language, culture, and connections, but to enjoy your present, you need to focus on it, so that you find your purpose and direction.
All you need to know about my online counseling.
Start enjoying your life the way you deserve. To support you, I’ve developed my online counseling that adapts 100% to the situation you are experiencing and will help you achieve what you are looking for: to move forward, so that you feel fulfilled and satisfied with the expat life you have chosen.
Sessions with Gabriela were a true revelation from day one. I had big aha moments, made lots of progress and also a few steps backwards. Knowing that she was always “by my side” and I could text her anytime, gave me strength and made me feel safe at all times. With the tools I learned, I feel very equipped to continue on my own. I am deeply grateful for Gabriela’s guidance and can highly recommend working with her.
My life abroad has improved in so many ways! I found empathy, a clear procedure, concrete steps and easiness. We laughed in every session, even when I was feeling awful, she managed to bring a smile to my face. Everything went so smoothly! She really listens and adapted her strategy and homework to my needs. She is your person if you are an expat and struggling with your life abroad.
I noticed shifts starting our first session. I wasn’t prepared to apply some changes, but Gabriela was there, holding my hand and encouraging me to look into my resources and all my life experience. I found a new (unexpected) purpose for me, thanks to our work together. Her knowledge and experience and her smile and kindness create a place of transformation, self-compassion and acceptance.

-navigate and accept your emotions with ease and trust yourself?
-organize and manage your thoughts and actions?

-feel seen, heard, and & supported wherever you are in your expat experience?
No strings. No pitches. Just finding out if we are the right fit to work together 🙂 .
How does my online counseling work?
You are my Priority
We’ll have personalized sessions of one hour each. We will establish how many and how often in the free 30-Minute session. This is not a standard program, my counseling will be adapted to your needs and goals.
Let's get to work!
I will give you homework between sessions: worksheets, exercises, and motivational material (videos, books, podcasts, etc.) to achieve an effective process.
I’ll be by your side throughout the entire process
During the time we work together, you can contact me between sessions, whenever you need to. I will respond within 48 hours max.
My Method
1.- Identify
What are you feeling?
When? Why?
In the first stage, we will work together on your self-knowledge and your current situation.
We will look into your values, purpose, and priorities, as from there, you will be able to make the choices you need to get closer to where you want to be.
Without a solid foundation, how could you make the right decisions?
2.- Connect
Once you discover your foundations, we will put the focus on your emotions and thoughts, for you to connect with them
This connection will help you understand difficult emotions and challenge not useful and damaging thoughts, so that you can know what you really want, and what is best for you and your life abroad.
This will give us the information we need to put together a strategy and action plan, which will stand on a solid foundation so that the changes you make are sustainable over time.
3.- Move forward
It’s time to take action!
In this phase, we’ll know which tools you have, which of them work and which don’t.
We will have new strategies and set goals that will motivate you, give you purpose and a sense of direction.
This way, you will take charge of your expat life, tailor it to your needs, and shine as you deserve.
While all three steps are necessary and guide our counseling, the process can and will be adjusted to your needs. The times are not standardized; perhaps with you we take longer in the first step and with another client in the second step, but that’s irrelevant: the important thing is that we will reach together the goal(s) you set during our counseling process, and we will take the time you need to go through each stage.
You’ll learn the resources and tools that will allow you to:
🔶 Increase your self-esteem and self-confidence, allowing you to make decisions to enjoy your international life.
🔶 Prioritize yourself and your well-being.
🔶 Rediscover your strengths so you can shine and see the wonderful woman you are.
🔶 Achieve your personal and professional goals by overcoming procrastination and fear.
🔶 Gain freedom and independence; this way, you will be able to choose for yourself and stop doing what “you should.”
🔶 Improve communication with your partner, social and work environment.
🔶 Feel and being seen.
🔶 Get out of stagnation and move forward, grow and see changes that bring you closer to your goals.
🔶 Define and identify your goals, so that you live a fulfilling and satisfying life (the Expat Life YOU want).
Today is an excellent day to take the first step. I’m waiting for you!

Hi, I’m Gabriela, online psychologist and expat!
I offer you my vast work experience and the empathy and understanding of life abroad. One of my new clients’ first positive feedback is, “I don’t have to explain expat life to you; that’s a relief!”
All this knowledge and expertise allow me to help other women in that situation with sessions that combine scientifically proven tools from cognitive-behavioral psychology, acceptance and commitment therapy and coaching strategies.
I know what you are going through. That’s why I know our work together will be significant in your personal development, self-esteem and happiness abroad.
Why online counseling with Gabriela?
My proven method
I’ve developed my 3 Steps Method: Identify – Connect – Move Forward.
These 3 steps are the guide for our counseling. And the process can and will be adjusted to your needs.
Empathy and Understanding
I’ve been through what you’ve been through, so if you’re tired of explaining what you’re feeling right now and not being understood, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll talk from expat to expat, so you’ll feel heard and not judged.
Support between sessions
For the time we work together, you’ll have 24/7 access to me, to elaborate on your thoughts, feelings, and share your insights. This is as helpful as the hour we spend together. Often, it takes longer than 1 hour to digest your discoveries.
Flexibility
My support is online and customized, so that you can have sessions from anywhere in the world and at a time that suits you. Also, I speak fluently Spanish, English and German, so we can switch if you need to (like I do!).
Vast Experience
I have more than 20 years of experience, integrating and providing my knowledge and background in HR, solution-oriented and focused on the present therapy and coaching strategies. I’ve helped over 300 internationals around the world!
Positivity and Freedom
A safe and secure place, where you can be and say whatever you want. I create that environment for you, as I am positive, honest, and open-minded.
Ready to start the journey? Let me be by your side.
Take a free 30-Minute session, and together we’ll decide if my type of counseling is for you.
Expat Women enjoying their Life Abroad say…
After the sessions we had together, I felt ready to enjoy my repatriate life. Above all, she showed me and made me understand that I had it all in me … just needed to be asked and ask the right questions. The answers were within me! I can’t stress enough how much I recommend her!
Gabriela has helped me to face difficult situations and to recognize positive aspects of living in another country. She is a very professional person who builds trust from the start. The sessions have helped me focus on my current life and better accept the present I am living. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Gabriela is really competent, professional and direct, but also kind, witty and has the ability to detect what is actually was going on. Being an expat can be very stressful, but I now have the tools to handle it and not feel so alone anymore. I recommend you contact Gabriela!
Do you have any questions?
What is the payment method?
You can pay via Stripe, and if you have a European bank account, by bank transfer.
Bear in mind I currently don’t take any insurance.
Is this online counseling for me?
If:
- You look forward to leaving your discomfort behind and feeling fulfilled in your international life.
- You are a committed and dedicated person, as it is expected that you carry out the recommended tasks to move forward, meeting the schedule and deadlines agreed upon.
- You feel comfortable with a solution-oriented approach according to your specific situation and needs.
- You have confidence in the process and are determined to invest in yourself.
- You understand that there are no magic results; commitment from both sides is necessary.
- You are willing to be patient since not everything will go as fast as the speed of light.
Then… yes! This is what you need.
What happens if I cannot attend a session?
Sessions can be rescheduled up to 48 hours in advance. If this period passes and there is no justified reason, the session will be considered as attended.
How does the online format work?
This type of session is held with the same structure as a face-to-face consultation. The only difference is that it is done via video conference, using a platform that protects privacy and security.
Do they have the same effect and results as a face-to-face consultation?
Yes, the outcome is the same. I understand your doubts since it is something new; I had those concerns at the beginning too. I can confirm that the results are the same, not only because I see it in my clients, but also because I experienced the benefits of online sessions. The psychologist/coach-consultant relationship is not damaged whatsoever.
Can I work with a psychologist/coach who lives in a different place?
Absolutely. Don’t let the location affect your decision to find the right mental health professional. I welcome clients from all over the world, as long as they are fluent in Spanish, English or German.
The sessions are held via video conference, which gives us flexibility concerning time zones and geographical locations.
Do you work with all kinds of problems?
Although I am trained and have more than 15 years of experience as a therapist, my offer is psychological support combined with coaching strategies. It is not a long-term therapy, and some issues do require face-to-face treatment and more time. However, if you are in doubt as to whether your situation is suitable for this process, we can have a 30-minute session in which we will decide whether I can support you.

🔶 Stop feeling invisible.
