Life in Singapore Can Be Particularly Stressful

Sheryl has worked with individuals and couples from a wide range of regions and cultures, including Asia-Pacific, the U.S., Europe and Africa.

Expats: People often underestimate the challenges of relocation – of leaving the familiarity of one’s home countries and the support networks there.  While a whole new world of possibilities opens up here, individuals and couples are also exposed to an array of pressures that they have never encountered before – or, perhaps the problems seem even more serious in a brand-new setting.

Asians: Trying to negotiate the unique challenges faced by Asians today can be daunting. Modernism? Traditionalism?  How does one walk the fine line between the two, with one’s own healthy sense of self intact?
