i-psy aims at helping individuals who seem to suffer from problems, which are directly or indirectly related to immigration or to temporary cultural changes and to the consequence change/lack of social support network. It could be the case of stress in a mixed marriage, sometimes concerning the upbringing of the children, it could be related to mourning the loss of the support and the status role from back home and difficulties in establishing a home away from home, anxieties having to do with the unfamiliarity and daily accumulating stressors. The combination of lack of support from back home, the unfamiliar surrounding and high expectations here often take their toll on an individual's psychological well-being. The multicultural staff at i-psy knows all about it first hand, as it consists of as many nationalities as our clients, best capable of understanding their situation.
