foep

where I'm from, foep is an old word for resilience. I've found foep comes to us when we ask ourselves the right questions.

Are you an expat, international or digital nomad who...

has moved to a new country and wants to feel more at home

is looking for ways to handle cultural differences

is trying to find a new work-life balance

left something behind, realizing now that it followed you

wants to feel more grounded while on the move

wants help navigating workplace culture

Maybe I Can Help

my name is Hans Ernsten. I'm a counselor with a background in biology (BSc) and the humanities (MA), trained in pastoral counseling. I work with expats, internationals, digital nomads, and those detained.

I live in The Hague, the Netherlands and work in English and Dutch. Years ago, I decided to become a counselor while travelling. In my work I take inspiration from humanistic psychology, philosophy and art.

what drives me is helping others learn about themselves. Introspection leads to happiness!
