Laura J Stephens

Laura J Stephens, British author and psychotherapist writes about expatriate life and its emotional challenges in an honest and often humorous way - see her blog for a selection of published articles and posts: http://laurajstephens.com. 'An Inconvenient Posting' offers a vivid and insightful account of a wife's struggles as she uproots herself from England to accompany her husband on a posting to Texas. The positive and fruitful aspects of cultural immersion are balanced with the darker challenges of a mobile life (something she does not hold back from revealing) as Stephens uses her therapeutic back ground to inform the reader through her storytelling.

Moving to and living in different countries with her husband and children, she has gained a perspective on expat matters in her alternate roles as employer, spouse, mother and therapist.
