Expats living in Denmark

Expat Coaching – Supporting International Employees and Their Families

Feel at home - wherever you are

Moving to a new country brings a mix of opportunities and challenges. As an expat living in Denmark, you may find yourself navigating cultural differences, identity shifts, or the deep sense of being in-between worlds. This is completely normal – and you don’t have to go through it alone.

At YouMatter Coaching, I offer 1:1 expat coaching in English for international professionals and their families. Whether you are adjusting to a new job, struggling to find your place socially, or simply craving clarity and purpose, our sessions create space for you to pause, reflect, and move forward with confidence.

Expat coaching is not about fixing you – it’s about meeting yourself with honesty, compassion, and strength.

Common coaching topics for expats in Denmark

  • Finding your identity in a new culture

  • Balancing career and personal life abroad

  • Managing overwhelm, pressure, or uncertainty

  • Making big life decisions far from home

  • Building meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging

  • Rediscovering what brings joy, energy, and meaning

I’ve lived and worked internationally myself, and I understand the courage it takes to start over in a new place. Coaching is a powerful way to reconnect with your inner stability – so you can thrive, not just adapt.

Coaching sessions are held in English and can take place in person (in and around Copenhagen) or online.

  • Expat coaching is tailored to the unique transitions that come with living and working in a new country. It combines professional coaching with an understanding of cultural adjustment, identity shifts, and the emotional impact of being far from home. At YouMatter Coaching, sessions are designed to help you build clarity, confidence, and connection – so you can thrive, not just adapt.

  • Expat coaching is for international professionals, partners, and family members living in Denmark who want to feel more grounded, resilient, and at ease in their new environment. You may have just moved to Denmark or have been here for some time but still feel caught between cultures, unsure of your direction, or disconnected from yourself or others. Sessions are available in English, in person in Copenhagen, or online.

  • Coaching sessions are a confidential space where you can explore what matters most to you. Common topics include:

    • Adjusting to a new culture while staying true to yourself

    • Navigating career transitions or role changes abroad

    • Rebuilding confidence or identity after a move

    • Finding balance between personal and professional life

    • Managing stress, uncertainty, or overwhelm

    • Creating a stronger sense of belonging and purpose

  • Not at all. Many expats in Denmark begin coaching because they feel stuck, lost, or emotionally drained – but are not sure exactly why. Coaching helps you make sense of your experience, clarify what is truly important, and take steps that feel aligned and meaningful. Whether you are seeking clarity, support, or simply a space to think out loud, coaching meets you where you are.

  • We usually begin with a free, no-obligation call to see if we are a good match. If we move forward, sessions last 60 minutes and can be held in person or online. A typical coaching journey often includes 5 sessions, giving us the time and space to go deeper. Each session is shaped around your goals and what feels most present for you in the moment.

  • Yes. Many organisations provide expat coaching in Denmark as part of their support for international employees and families. Coaching can ease the integration process, reduce stress, and strengthen both job satisfaction and performance. If you are interested, I am happy to provide your employer with a tailored proposal or speak with them directly.

  • For the individual, expat coaching strengthens emotional resilience, cultural confidence, and personal well-being. For the organisation, it can lead to faster integration, higher retention, and stronger performance. It is a win-win investment in people and their long-term success abroad.

  • You are warmly welcome to reach out for a free initial call. There is no pressure – just a chance to explore what you need and whether coaching feels like the right next step. You matter here, and you don’t have to navigate it all alone.
