Third Culture Life Coach
Finding Home Between Worlds
During their childhood and adolescence, TCK’s experiences of the moves, the relationships, the places, the losses, the discoveries, the opportunities, and separation after separation, make for a complicated and confusing inner world. Coaching can help them to discover and accept their unique identity, to explore the new culture and look for commonalities instead of differences, discover new hobbies and retain traditions and customs of their own.

Benefits
Coaching can help Third Culture Kids, especially during their teenage years, to reframe their experiences and focus on the positive aspects, while acknowledging the grief of losses; to find a way to voice their feelings, to feel okay with seemingly opposed emotions, to accept their sadness and yet feel happy in a new location; understand that finding new friends does not mean a betrayal of old friendships; that feeling ‘different’ and out of sync with their peers is not unusual.
Coaching can offer teenagers a safe space to work through their resentment and explore their feelings, goals and ambitions.
