International Psychology Services

Moving abroad can be tough, especially for individuals living with neurodevelopmental conditions.

At Scope, we understand the many challenges that come with picking up your life and moving to a new location. Our AHPRA registered psychologists have lived experience with moving abroad, so we know what you're going through. Beyond homesickness, moving can amplify stressors like isolation, adjustment difficulties, and navigating unfamiliar work and cultural differences—challenges that can feel even more significant for neurodivergent individuals. Fortunately, online mental health support means help is accessible from anywhere. You’re not alone; Scope’s support is just a Zoom link away.

International psychology services are available 100% online.

Looking for a support network?

We've created a Facebook group community for expats to access information and general advice from our expat psychologists, and connect with other expats who are experiencing similar challenges. The group provides evidence-based tips and strategies to cope with relocation and the common emotional experiences associated with moving away from family and friends. Advice is general in nature. Please access 1:1 or group online therapy if you are seeking more personalised support.
