Transitional Stress
(Migration Counselling Service)
Transitioning from one country to another can be both a difficult and stressful experience that can leave individuals experiencing feelings of confusion and alienation. Adjusting to a new environment can be a long and overwhelming experience and language barriers can make the process even more difficult. Maureen has personally experienced the transitional stress that accompanies moving to a foreign country. Even though adapting to a new culture is a challenging process, with the right guidance, it can be both fun and rewarding. Maureen can provide thoughtful support and recommendations that can alleviate transitional stress and make your transition to Australia a smooth and successful one.
