A Safe Space to Find Your Place
In Copenhagen and in Yourself
You took the leap to move abroad – but some days you feel more lonely and overwhelmed than adventurous. The reality of day-to-day life can bring unexpected stress, isolation, or self-doubt.
If you've found yourself feeling overwhelmed, I offer psychotherapy to help you reconnect, recalibrate, and move forward from a present and confident place.
Challenges Psychotherapy Can Help With
Living abroad can stretch you in ways you didn’t expect. Even when things seem “fine” on the outside.
Maybe you recognize yourself here:
You're always trying to keep it together, but feel drained underneath
You’ve lost touch with what makes you feel alive or connected
You’re doing well professionally, but personally you feel stuck
You wonder why small things feel so overwhelming lately
You miss being understood — in your language, your culture, your emotions
These aren’t signs that something is wrong with you.
They’re signs that something matters. And that you might need space to make sense of it all.
In therapy, you don’t have to translate or explain away what you're going through. You get to show up fully — and start understanding where you are, and where you want to go.
Meet Tuk
Psychotherapist
Hi, I’m Tuk Jacobsen, a certified psychotherapist specializing in helping expats and internationals. I’ve helped people from all over the world. I understand the mix of excitement and struggle that comes with starting a life in a new country. My approach is warm, genuine, and collaborative – clients often say they feel safe and understood in our sessions. (You can read some of their experiences on my home page.)
In therapy with me, there’s no judgment. Whether you're feeling homesick after a hard day or frustrated that you're not adjusting as quickly as you hoped, I’ll be here to listen and help you make sense of it. I blend techniques from modern psychology with simple human empathy. Sometimes we’ll laugh, sometimes you might cry – both are welcome. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling a bit lighter, more confident — and with clear sense of how to move forward toward what matters to you.
I offer both in-person sessions in Copenhagen (Østerbro), because I believe face-to-face connection is powerful – especially when you’ve been feeling alone. My office is a cozy, calm space where you can exhale and just be yourself. And online sessions, for when you are travelling or find it hard to fit in a pressed schedule. And yes, sessions are in English, so you can express yourself comfortably. (I’m fluent and have lived/worked in English environments for years.)
Start your change today
We’ll work with what’s been building up: emotional stress, anxiety, numbness, or uncertainty.
You’ll begin to make sense of it, and regain your clarity, steadiness, and connection you’ve been missing to move forward and feel satisfied.
If you want to know more first, you're welcome to book a free 15-minute intro call — no pressure, just a chance to ask questions and feel the connection.
Or if you already know you're ready to begin, you can book your first session directly through my online calendar.
This is your space to move forward — in your own time, and on your terms.
Let’s begin with what matters most to you.
