Meet Vera Vigh — Mother, Expat Psychologist & Career Coach
As an (Expat) Psychologist and Career Coach, I help mothers navigate the complexities of life and work abroad. I'm walking this path myself. What began as a two-month trip from Hungary to the Netherlands in 2018 turned into a five-year journey of growth, from culture shock and job rejections to graduating with honors and building a career in HR within an international environment.
Later, moving to Spain marked a new chapter, choosing a life that honours my core values and creating my own coaching & psychologist practice. As a new mother myself, I understand the unique balance and self-doubt working mothers often face while redefining their lives and careers abroad.
Now based in Spain, I've worked with over 150 expats, mothers and professionals from 20+ countries - supporting career development, job search strategy, stress management, and emotional resilience. My mission is to help you find balance between motherhood, life and work — creating a life that aligns with your values in a country not your own. Welcome — let’s get started!
