You are not alone
You are not alone in feeling this way.It's more common than it seems.
On the outside, everything may look fine. But inside, there can be a quiet weight.
Missing family and home
That ache that shows up in ordinary moments.
Lonely even when surrounded by people
Connections exist, but depth is missing.
Guilt about living far away
Being present there while building here.
Exhausted from always adapting
The tiredness of always translating parts of yourself.
Not feeling like you truly belong
Not fully from here, not fully from there.
Unsure who you are becoming
Who am I now — and who am I becoming?

Therapy that understands life abroadbecause it's also part of my story.
I hold a degree in Psychology from Brazil and am a registered counsellor with the ACA in Australia. I am also an immigrant, and I understand that living abroad involves much more than practical adaptation.

B
Belonging
To work through the feeling of living between cultures and places.
Why Saudade Mind Lab?
Saudade is more thanmissing home.
Saudade holds absence, memory, love, distance and belonging. For many immigrants, it can also mean missing parts of yourself that got left behind along the way.
