Meet Dott. Nicolaas Fouche, English-Speaking Therapist in Italy
Moving to a new country requires many physical, mental, and emotional adjustments — the term “culture shock” really doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Wouldn’t it be great to have someone to talk to who has been through the situation and understands where you’re coming from?
Wouldn’t it be even greater if that person were a licensed professional therapist who is just a train ride or Skype call away?
I’m honored to introduce English-speakers in Italy to Dott. Nicolaas Fouche in Rimini.
Dott. Fouche is an experienced therapist and mother tongue English speaker . . . two things that just may come in handy to many expats in Italy.
In Dott. Fouche’s own words:
I am a therapist working with the English speaking community in Italy, especially those who have difficulty in finding a first language therapist in their ‘new’ country of residence. A plurinational (Irish, South African and Italian) licensed counsellor registered with the ‘British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’’ (N° 661028), though my counselling experience spans many years, I have since 2005 been providing therapy via Skype to clients for whom the constraints of time and distance render their access to professional listening services impracticable.
Dott. Fouche’s website EnglishCounselling.it provides lots more information on his background, therapy methods, articles, and more, and you can also learn more about him in this video:
I’d like to thank Dott. Fouche for being in touch with me and wish him continued success in the Bel Paese, as he is performing a wonderful service.
Celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Jewelry and Coffee
October is coming to a close, which means it’s time to remind you that Breast Cancer Awareness (along with Ovarian Cancer Awareness!) should be at the front of our minds all year long.
Be sure to check out the following information from BreastCancer.org:

And here are some ideas to keep the pink going:
Angela Moore’s Pink Ribbon Collection, sales from which 15% of proceeds go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. As you may remember from Angela Moore’s Ovarian Cancer Awareness line, all of her pieces are hand-painted and one of a kind:
Dark Pink Charm with Gold Filled Accents: $9.00
Pink Ribbon Triple Pendant with Chain: $40.50
Blue Men’s Tie: $49.50
Pink Ribbon Classic Bracelet with Pink Rondelles: $54.00
And for my fellow coffee lovers out there, check *this* out:
Jura has made a one off pink version of their ENA 5 machine to auction off in a bid to raise money for several Breast Cancer Awareness charities. How CUTE is this?
Hurry, bidding ends at noon on October 30!
And remember, think pink and teal all year round!
Blog Action Day 2009: Climate Change
I’ve written a bit about Going Green, so be sure to check out those posts for specific things you can do to help climate change for Blog Action Day 2009, but I really couldn’t say it any better than SealtheDeal2009.org, the UN-led campaign aiming “to galvanize political will and public support for reaching a comprehensive global climate agreement in Copenhagen in December”:
Sign the petition for a fair climate change agreement at the Copenhagen Conference, let the U.S. government know it’s time to act on climate change, and of course incorporate as many green changes into your lifestyle as you can.
“One day. One issue. Thousands of voices.”
