Helping Expats live Happy Abroad

Counselling in English for Expats

Hi, I'm Anna!

I am an English speaking Psychologist (PhD) based in Hamburg and have been an expat throughout my life.

I grew up as an expat child and lived in 7 countries over a 15-year period so that I understand the issues faced by internationals. I most recently lived in Eindhoven and Johannesburg.

I’m passionate about helping internationals through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness and offer in person and online therapy in English and German for individuals and couples.

Testimonials

★★★★★ 5/5

"Finding mental health support while overseas is difficult and overwhelming. Dr. Ehmsen understands the challenges facing expats and provided me with a trusting and open atmosphere to work through my issues when there was nowhere else to turn. She actively listens, empathizes, provides insightful guidance, and speaks truth no matter how big or small the issue. If you need support, don't wait and reach out to Dr. Ehmsen - I am glad I did."

“Each session was always tailored to the specific topics I wanted to discuss for that hour. Connections were always made to previous topics and this allowed me to develop a more holistic view of myself, my themes and my thoughts. I also found the suggestion of different tools very helpful as I could spend time doing my own reading on such topics.”

"Anna used her methodology but also allowed enough flexibility for me to edit it to fit my circumstances, which I highly appreciated. I felt I was moving at my own pace but there was also just the right amount of pressure to motivate me. In the end I was down to smoking only two cigarettes a day. Thank you Anna for the support, understanding and encouragement!"
