Moving abroad is an exciting decision, but it’s also a major life transition. Alongside logistics and planning, many people experience stress, uncertainty, grief, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm — sometimes before the move, sometimes long after arriving.

​

Move abroad coaching offers structured, non-therapeutic support to help you prepare emotionally, navigate transition, and feel more grounded and confident as you adjust to life in a new country.

​​

Start Here: Move Abroad Coaching Consultation

Move Abroad Coaching Consultation (20–30 minutes)

​

This consultation is a brief planning and decision-making conversation designed to help you determine whether move abroad coaching is right for you.

​

During the consultation, we’ll explore where you are in your move abroad journey — whether you are preparing to relocate or adjusting after arrival — and identify the main challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll clarify goals, discuss what kind of support may be helpful, and outline a personalized coaching roadmap, including suggested focus areas and number of sessions.

​

This consultation does not include coaching or therapy. It is an opportunity to ask questions, gain clarity, and decide how you’d like to move forward.

Move Abroad Journal Sprints

Journal Sprints are short, creative experiences designed to help you process the emotional side of moving abroad through reflection, writing, and art-based prompts.

​

These time-limited offerings are ideal if you want a lower-commitment way to explore your experience, reconnect with yourself, and make sense of transition through creativity.

About My Approach

I’m Rachel Mims, a licensed professional counselor, board certified art therapist, and move abroad coach. In addition to my professional background, I have personally moved abroad and understand firsthand the emotional complexities of leaving familiar systems, rebuilding community, and adapting to life in a new country.

​

My coaching approach is reflective, grounded, and psychologically informed, drawing on creative and insight-oriented tools to support clarity, resilience, and intentional decision-making. Coaching services are non-therapeutic and are not a substitute for mental health treatment.

​

My goal is to help you feel more prepared, supported, and self-aware as you navigate one of life’s biggest transitions -so you can move abroad with greater confidence and care for your emotional well-being along the way.
