Building something in a new country often means building it twice: first for yourself, and then for the community around you.

We’re grateful for the community that has grown around Expat Couch and excited for what’s still to come — for our clients, our colleagues, and the international therapists building their lives and practices in Germany.

Thank you for being part of it 🤍

Last weekend, a group of us from Hamburg took the train to Berlin for the It's Complicated | Therapy online & offline conference.

Part professional development, part field trip, part community adventure.

As therapists, we often spend our days in one-to-one conversations, sitting with individual stories. Yet this weekend reminded us how important it is to occasionally step out of our therapy rooms and gather with colleagues who are asking similar questions:
How do we stay present in a world that often feels fragmented?
How do we make space for complexity without rushing toward certainty?
How do we remain deeply human as technology, culture and society continue to change around us?

Across talks, workshops, conversations over coffee, and the journey there and back, we found ourselves returning to the same idea: healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

The theme of Rupture and Repair felt particularly relevant, not only in our clinical work, but in communities, relationships, and the wider world that we inhabit.

We’re back to Hamburg with new ideas, fresh inspiration, and gratitude for the chance to learn together.

And perhaps that’s one of the most meaningful parts of being a community of therapists: not having all the answers, but continuing to stay curious, connected, and in conversation.

🧡

So this is us 🛋️
Opening a private practice as expats in Germany can be complicated. The system here is different, the steps aren’t always obvious, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
We’re still figuring things out as we go, but along the way we learnt a lot, and we wanted to put it all in one place, in a way that actually makes sense.
So if you are an expat therapist in Germany and you’ve been thinking about starting your own practice, this might be a helpful place to begin.

Good news: it’s almost over.
January can feel endless, especially when you’re living abroad. Your nervous system may still be catching up, even if life expects you to be back on track.
If you are feeling slower, heavier or less motivated, you’re not behind.
Transitions take time, even when the world expects speed.

〰️〰️
This post is about mental health, transitions and nervous system regulation for people living abroad.
