The Original Expat Psychologist — Founded in 2009
The first psychological practice in the world dedicated exclusively to the mental health of internationally mobile people.
When Taisia Slobodjaniuk founded Expat Psychologist in 2009, the field did not exist. She built it — because as an expat herself, she needed it and found nothing. Today, we are one of Europe’s leading expat-focused psychological practices, with locations across the Netherlands and Switzerland, and online sessions available worldwide. We understand your world because we have lived it.
Our work includes individual and couples therapy, psychological and psychodiagnostic assessments, ADHD and ASD (autism) evaluations, as well as Employee Assistance Programs – EAP for organizations as well as psychological and psychodiagnostic assessments. The psychological assessments provided are tailored to your needs and include personality, cognitive, and emotional evaluations covering areas such as depression, anxiety, burnout, body image and emotional regulation. Our testing helps you gain deeper insight into your strengths, challenges, and areas for personal growth.
Our goal is simple: to help you understand your emotions and use them as a guide to navigate your relationships, choices, and life abroad.
There is a particular kind of loneliness that no one prepares you for — the kind that arrives in the middle of an ordinary afternoon in a foreign city, surrounded by people, yet feeling invisible. At Expat Psychologist Switzerland, we understand this because we have lived it. Since 2009, our mission has been simple: to make sure that every expat in Switzerland can find expert psychological support — in their language, without a waiting list, and from people who truly understand their world.
No waiting list — you are our priority. Refundable sessions with most international (student) insurance plans and several local ones. FSP registered. We speak your language — multilingual therapy available Transparent, affordable, and accessible mental health support Practical coping tools from the very first session. Pioneering expat psychology since 2009 — the first practice of its kind!
