Carol on ‘Life with Karabo’
The biggest misconception about expat life is that it is all rosy and magical. While this kind of life can be filled with adventure and new experiences, there are also the not-so-rosy experiences along this journey.
The truth is, it is not always peachy and the dynamic of being an expat is quite a complex one - emotionally, physically and mentally.
Satori’s own Carol Yan, Counselling Psychologist, was recently a guest on the ‘Life with Karabo Podcast’ where all matters relating to expat living were discussed.
Join Carol in this free-ranging conversation, as she expands on managing your expectations as an expat, and all the good, the bad and the uglies of making a home away from home.
Carol is a South African expat and Counselling Psychologist currently living and working in Utrecht, The Netherlands. She moved to The Netherlands as a Trailing Spouse in May 2021 when her husband was offered a fantastic work opportunity. With this new adventure she decided to move her practice exclusively online.
She currently works with clients from across the globe and enjoys the flexibility this has brought to her life. Her personal journey in adjusting in this host country as well as finding her feet as a trailing spouse has given Carol a much deeper understanding of the magnitude of the struggles that expats face.
She provides a co-created space in her practice for individuals, couples, and families who are on this exciting, yet daunting, journey of emigration and expat living.
