About Me

Hello, I’m Christian Bergamaschi, and I understand firsthand the unique challenges of living abroad. My journey began in high school when I participated in an exchange program in Vienna. Living in a new country, learning a new language, and immersing myself in a different culture was exciting, but it wasn’t without its challenges. I struggled with shyness and found it difficult to connect with others outside of school. But this experience taught me the importance of managing expectations, adapting to a new environment, and practicing patience when navigating unfamiliar territory.

A few years later, I moved to Warsaw, and then to London this time with more experience and better tools for integration. I had already learned how to manage homesickness, build cross-cultural connections, and handle the emotional ups and downs that come with living abroad. These experiences not only shaped my personal growth but also gave me a deep understanding of the emotional complexities expatriates face—whether it’s adjusting to a new culture, managing stress, or dealing with loss.

Throughout my time in Vienna, Warsaw, London and beyond, I’ve worked with many people facing similar emotional challenges. Anxiety, grief, guilt, relationship struggles, and job transitions are common when living abroad, and I’ve witnessed how these challenges can impact overall well-being. This is where my training as a psychologist and my personal experience as an expat come together. I offer a compassionate and supportive approach that helps you better understand and navigate your own emotional journey.

My work is built on integrating psychological approaches such as Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, and Body-Oriented Modalities, alongside my personal experience with cultural adaptation. I provide a safe space where we can explore your emotions, build resilience, and work towards healing, no matter where you are in the world.

Healing and personal growth are possible, even in the midst of the challenges life abroad presents. I’m here to walk with you, offering the tools and support needed to help you feel grounded, understood, and empowered to move forward.
