ANNA TANAKA

Summary

I work with expats navigating major life transitions—including separation and divorce—to build emotional steadiness, clarity, and grounded confidence for what comes next.

Based in Europe with a home base in Helsinki, Finland, I work with clients worldwide via Zoom.

Languages: French, English, Finnish (fluent in all three)

Approach

My work is structured and intentional. We are not simply talking about feelings; we are building capacity. The first phase lasts six weeks. I guide you and support you to strengthen emotional regulation and mental fitness through concrete exercises and daily practice. We also use a specific app (the PQ app), so that I can follow your progress. From there, we work with real decisions, real conversations, and real constraints — developing clarity, perspective, and grounded judgment. The goal is not comfort alone, but strength, discernment, and the ability to move through complexity without losing yourself.

Who this is for

I work with expats worldwide navigating major life transitions, often around separation or divorce—sometimes before any final decision has been made, sometimes long after the seperation.

Clients often include women who are:

• Already in the legal process and feeling emotionally destabilised
• In the “questioning phase,” considering leaving for months or years but feeling stuck
• Carrying heavy guilt, fear, and responsibility—especially around children, family, and judgment
• Trying to make high-stakes decisions while second-guessing themselves constantly
• Carrying anxiety long after the separation, around communication with the ex and child visitation for example.

What many expats are experiencing

Many expats going through separation or divorce feel:

• Mentally overloaded: every decision feels loaded; clarity disappears; self-trust drops
