Mgr Emilia Hunt, MSc

I'm Emilia, a coach and author based in northern Poland, working in English and Polish. I spent 17 years in the UK doing frontline work with people in acute crisis—in refuges, approved premises, victim support—before returning to Poland this year. That decade-plus taught me something crucial: when people are undone by trauma, burnout, or displacement, they don't need more frameworks or positivity. They need someone who understands that rebuilding is messy, nonlinear, and requires real tools, not philosophy. I now work with two groups, and there's real overlap: expats and people returning "home" after years abroad (navigating the psychological weight of uprooting and identity loss), and burned-out professionals who've hit collapse and need to rebuild from the ground up. Both populations are stuck—either displaced or depleted—because they've lost touch with their capacity to regulate, choose, and move. My approach is grounded in EMDR-informed coaching, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and CBT. I use these because they work quickly and they're practical—you're not paying for someone to listen while you process; you're paying for someone who knows how to shift your nervous system, untangle the stories you're believing about yourself, and give you concrete tools you can use outside the session. Sound healing and ecotherapy are part of this too, particularly for people who've lost their sense of safety or belonging in their body or in place. What it's like to work together Sessions are direct. I ask hard questions, and I expect honest answers. I notice what you're not saying as much as what you are. I won't tell you it's going to be easy or fast, but I will tell you the truth about what's possible and what it actually takes to get there. Most clients describe feeling more grounded and capable after the first session—not because I've "fixed" anything, but because we've started to untangle what's been running in the background. I work online, and sessions are typically 50-60 minutes. I structure work in blocks—usually 6-8 sessions to start—because real change requires continuity. I'm also bilingual, which matters if you're an expat; I can hold complexity in two languages in ways that monolingual therapy sometimes can't. Who this is for You're reading this if you're an expat or return migrant feeling unmoored, or if you're burned out and you know you can't go back to the way things were before. You probably know intellectually what you should do, but you can't seem to do it. You might have tried therapy before and found it wasn't enough, or you've been managing alone and you're tired. You're here because you want someone who gets it without needing you to explain the context of your life. Someone rigorous. Someone you can trust not to waste your time.
