You’ve planned everything.
And you’re still terrified.

A woman gazing out of a window, appearing contemplative in a dimly lit room.

You’ve researched the city. You’ve found a school. You’ve started the paperwork. And yet. Late at night, the questions keep coming. What if my child can’t cope with the language? How will we manage homesickness? What if I fall apart, and there’s no one there to help me?

These aren’t small fears.

I know because I’ve made the move to Germany, too. I relocated with my young family in 2020, in the middle of a pandemic, and sat exactly where you are sitting now.

The difference is I also spent a decade before that as a Social Worker specialising in children and families in crisis. Which is exactly why the support I offer you is not guesswork. It is professional, evidence-based, and completely real.

Not a blogger. Not a fellow expat with good advice. A registered professional.
