A new country, a new language, a different daily routine – it can be exciting, but also overwhelming. Many international families, couples, or singles who have moved to Germany experience inner tension, uncertainty, or the feeling of not truly arriving. Often, it’s not one big issue, but many small ones: homesickness, language barriers, lack of support, new roles – all at once.

Here are some of the topics we can explore together:

  • Homesickness and trouble settling into life in Germany
  • Overwhelm from juggling daily logistics and emotional adjustment
  • Recurring conversations: Should we go back? And if so, when?
  • Different communication styles in the couple: quick fixes vs. deep talks
  • Feeling unsupported by family or friends back home
  • Growing distance between partners: one feels settled, the other alone
  • Children struggling with school, language, or culture
  • Illness of a family member – here or back in the home country
  • Language barriers, cultural differences, and the feeling of isolation
  • Difficulty building friendships or feeling connected
  • …and all the worries, traumas, and issues you thought you’d left behind – but which came along in your luggage

In systemic therapy, the focus isn’t only on problems – but on reconnection: with yourself, with others, with your new surroundings. Together we create space for orientation, understanding, and new perspectives – so that arrival happens not only on the outside, but also within.
