A structured, clinically-informed discovery process for families and individuals deciding whether to move abroad — and where. Three sessions, one written decision memo, yours to keep. Not logistics. The step before logistics.
This is not psychotherapy, and not legal, tax, or immigration advice. See below.

1
Written decision memo, yours to keep
0
Obligation that you end up moving
Consulting on a life decision. No diagnosis, no treatment, no therapeutic relationship.
We work at the discovery level. The memo's last section maps which professionals to hire for the real thing.
"Don't move, or not yet" is a fully legitimate outcome — and we say so before you pay.
Before Session 1, everyone in the household completes an intake separately, without conferring — if you're deciding with a partner, the divergence between you is usually the real material, and it's better it surfaces here than in month three abroad. If you're deciding alone, this is where you get equally honest with yourself. Between sessions, we do the research: first a wide candidate brief, then deep briefs on your surviving three.
01
75–90 minutes. No countries discussed yet — the values excavation: what you're moving toward, not just away from; where you and a partner diverge, or where your own reasoning pulls in two directions; what would have to be true for staying to be the right answer. Output: a working criteria list, in your words.
02
30–40 minutes, deliberately brief. We bring a candidate brief — 6–8 places screened against your real constraints: cost, schooling, healthcare, residency path, climate, language, community. First reactions only; the brief goes home with you, and the deliberation happens at your kitchen table.
03
75–90 minutes. Deep briefs on your surviving three — neighborhoods, first-year budgets, schooling, the residency path to investigate, what a scouting trip should test. We name the real cost of each option and close with a decision rule: what you'll do, by when, and what would change your mind.
Everything from the sessions and the research, written down once, so you're not reconstructing it from memory a year from now.

Everyone in the household, all research, the memo. Payment in full before Session 1, once we've confirmed a fit.
—
Two separate intakes, three sessions, a wide candidate brief, deep briefs on your surviving three, and the written memo.
—
Cancel before Session 1: full refund. After that, no refunds — including if the honest answer is "don't move." We price that as a success, and mean it.
Wesley leads every session personally. His background is clinical — trained to notice where what someone says and what they feel are pulling in different directions, and to say so, plainly.
This isn't therapy. It's that same attentiveness, aimed at one decision instead of a treatment plan — whether that means helping you and a partner see where you actually agree, or helping you get clear with yourself.
Will this tell me where to move?
It'll tell you the honest candidates for your life — including ones you didn't expect. The final call is yours; that's the point.
What if we decide not to move?
Then the memo says so, and we count it a success. That's priced in, not a failure state.
Is this therapy?
No. It's consulting on a life decision — no diagnosis, no treatment, no therapeutic relationship.
Do you handle visas, taxes, or logistics?
No. We work at the discovery level and hand you a map of which professionals to hire, and in what order, once you've decided.
How long does the whole process take?
About 2–3 weeks from Session 1 to your finished memo, across three sessions and two research sprints.
What if my partner and I disagree?
That's usually the real material. You each complete the intake separately, and where you diverge becomes part of what we work with — not something we paper over.
Do I need a partner to do this?
No. This works just as well for one person deciding alone — the intake and sessions adapt to a household of one.
Tell us a little about where you are, and we'll follow up to schedule an intake.
We read every note personally and will follow up by email within two business days to schedule an intake. If you don't hear back, check your spam folder, then write to hello@theconsideredmove.com.
