The Long Way From Home: Understanding the Mental Health of Long-Term Expatriate Families

Specialist CBT therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression and more in West London

Long-term expatriate life creates a specific, well-documented pattern of psychological strain. Perceived stress and social isolation are the two strongest predictors of poor wellbeing in accompanying partners. Family functioning mediates outcomes for Third Culture Kids more reliably than relocation frequency. The Lyceum offers BABCP-accredited CBT for expatriate families via secure video call across the Gulf Region — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. Sessions: £110 online. No GP referral required. Free 15-minute consultation available. Written by Sanah Younis, BABCP-accredited CBT therapist and Clinical Director of The Lyceum Clinic.
