# Giulia Salerno - Psychotherapist for Expats
Giulia Salerno is a psychotherapist based in Hove specialising in supporting expatriates and returning Italians navigate the emotional complexities of living abroad. She addresses the unique psychological challenges that accompany relocation, including feelings of isolation, cultural displacement, anxiety and identity confusion.
Her practice centres on helping clients rebuild emotional stability, overcome self-doubt and develop resilience during significant life transitions. Rather than viewing expat struggles as pathological, Salerno frames them as natural responses to profound change, offering validation alongside practical therapeutic support.
What distinguishes her approach is the specificity of her expertise. Most therapists offer generic services; Salerno has built her entire practice around understanding expat psychology—the particular grief of leaving home, the pressure to constantly adapt, and the identity questions that arise when living between cultures. This focus attracts clients who feel truly seen and understood.
Beyond one-to-one psychotherapy, she offers a published book providing concrete strategies for building a meaningful life abroad, a blog addressing expat-specific themes, and a Spotify podcast of guided meditations designed for "the restless heart." Her newsletter, "Sbocciare all'estero" (Blooming Abroad), creates community amongst her dispersed audience.
Her mission is helping people reclaim their self-worth so they can make autonomous decisions, establish independence and build meaningful relationships—whether at home or abroad.
