German-Speaking Therapist & Coach for Expats Abroad
Online, depth-oriented support for German speakers living internationally.
Living abroad expands your world —
but it can also unsettle your inner one.
Many German-speaking expats describe a quiet, persistent experience:
“I function well, but I don’t feel like myself anymore.”
“I can explain things in English, but I can’t feel them.”
“I miss emotional depth — I feel disconnected.”
“I’ve adapted so much I’ve lost touch with what I want.”
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
And you don’t need to figure it out by yourself.
I’m Andrea Hörandner, a German-speaking psychotherapist (MPF) and coach supporting expats around the world.
I offer online therapy and coaching in German — grounded, relational, emotionally intelligent work that helps you reconnect with yourself
wherever you live.
Why emotional support in your mother tongue matters — especially abroad
Even if you speak English fluently, emotional nuance lives in your mother tongue.
German-speaking clients often tell me:
“I can express myself in English, but not the depth of it.”
“It’s exhausting to translate my emotions.”
“I need someone who understands German family dynamics and communication.”
“I want clarity — not simplification.”
When you’re living abroad, subtle emotional challenges intensify:
adapting without noticing you’re over-adapting
feeling “too much” or “not enough” in a new culture
carrying emotional weight without support
loneliness masked by independence
identity confusion or loss of aliveness
tension between who you are and who you needed to be
You deserve a space that understands your emotional language — and your emotional history.
You don’t have to translate your emotions.
You don’t have to simplify your experience.
You don’t have to perform.
You can arrive exactly as you are — and we work from there.
The way we relate shapes the way we live.
The way we relate shapes the way we live.
How I work
This is not standard online coaching.
And not clinical therapy alone.
My approach is psychologically grounded, somatic, relational, and precise and blends:
psychotherapeutic depth (MPF)
CoreEvolution® & somatic integration
relational intelligence & emotional maturity
mindfulness & presence-based work
systemic clarity & coaching tools
This is not quick-fix coaching. Not clinical psychotherapy.
It is a grounded, relational, embodied process where clarity, emotional safety, and inner coherence take shape session by session.
Clients often describe it as: “a safe room with a mirror and a map.”
What I help with
I work with German-speaking adults living around the world who navigate:
emotional overwhelm, stress, and quiet burnout
identity shifts after relocation
overthinking, tension, or shutdown
relationship patterns and attachment wounds
loneliness or loss of connection
high-responsibility roles with little emotional support
difficulty expressing feelings in English
wanting clarity, grounding, and stability again
Your location doesn’t matter.
Your inner landscape does.
Support that meets you where you are —
especially in moments that matter
Let’s explore how we can work together.
For whom this work is ideal
For German speakers who want:
a therapist/coach who feels emotionally intelligent and human, not clinical
a calm, grounded space to understand what’s actually going on
clarity in relationships, roles, and difficult patterns
boundaries that don’t cost connection
inner safety, not just coping
support during transitions
a return to aliveness, desire, creativity, and meaning
If you’re carrying a lot — emotionally, professionally, or relationally — this work helps you carry it differently.
Come home to yourself -
So your relationships can breathe.
So your work feels aligned.
So you don’t have to hold it all together alone.
