Students, English Teachers, Expats, Spouses & Foreign Professionals
Many books  have been written about working and studying abroad. About 2,000 different titles can be found on Amazon alone. They all seem to agree that living in a culture that is not your own while speaking a language that is not your native language means extra challenges on top of your agenda.

That´s why you´ll find the professional and friendly counselors you are looking for at Counselling Valencia.
