As an accompanying spouse I have been living in a number of countries for more than 20 years. As couple or together with our children we lived in Thailand, India, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Since 2009 we are based in Peru.
Benefiting from this situation, I was able to transform my personal experiences as a so-called ‘accompanying person’ into professional skills.
In countless advisory sessions with individuals or couples as well as pre-departure workshops I managed to provide support for people preparing themselves for a new life abroad in order to cope with a new situation and a new role.
Alongside with this services I developed a number of tools improving the pre-departure training for expatriated personnel and their accompanying relatives and partners.
As a ressource person, I also offer Country Briefings for Switzerland (in English and French).
