Australian Expat Psychology

Moving abroad can be tough. At Scope, we understand the many challenges that come with picking up your life and moving to a new location. Our AHPRA registered psychologists have lived experience with moving abroad, so we know what you're going through.

Homesickness aside, there are a number of other stressors that can be challenging to deal with when you move, including: isolation, adjustment, work and cultural differences. Thankfully, we live in a time when internet speeds and standards of security allow online mental health services to be a possibility. You’re not alone - support from Scope is just a Zoom link away!

Australian expat psychology services are available 100% online.
