From the Orphan To International Business Woman - Exclusive Interview With Taya Slobodjaniuk

Started out in Ukraine as an orphan, today Taya is a successful businesswoman leading several expat-focused psychology practices around Europe. As an orphan, she faced a diverse set of challenges in being uprooted from familiarity, a sense of isolation, and the need for connection- all of which she observed within other expats who move to a new country. So, after arriving in the Netherlands over a decade ago, she was surprised to find that there was no one who could deeply understand these challenges. Using her experiences living in different countries, and her broad education in psychology, including stress and conflict management, she set up her own practice in The Hague to help expats work through their hardships.

A decade later Expat Psychologist grew to be one of the leading expat-focused services in the Netherlands with several locations throughout the country. With the dream to help expats all over the world, she also expanded her reach to Switzerland. Amongst her clients, you can find expats working for large international companies, embassies, and Hollywood. You will also find gifted people in her portfolio as many expats demonstrate outstanding abilities in their field of expertise, which may go unnoticed by many. Taya takes pride in not only being a great role model to other psychologists but also in providing high-quality client-focused services to anyone who finds it challenging to adapt to a new country.

In this interview Taya shares exclusive insight about the following topics:

1. How do we increase our self-awareness

2. How we can practically change our minds

3. What is assertive communication

4. What is CBT and how does it work
