Why I Created Internationally Together

Hi, I’m Dr Serena Ventura, a psychologist and the founder of Internationally Together.

Over time, I noticed that many couples whose relationships crossed cultures, identities, or communication styles struggled to find counsellors who really understood their experience. There wasn’t a space made with them in mind.

Internationally Together was created to be that space.

What you’ll find here

Internationally Together is not a generic couples therapy service.

Many online therapy platforms are built around a standard idea of what a couple looks like and how they communicate. They often match couples with counsellors who may not have training or experience in supporting partners who come from different cultural backgrounds, identities, or ways of relating.

But many couples don’t start from that shared foundation.

How we choose our counsellors

Our counsellors have experience supporting relationships shaped by:

  • intercultural or international backgrounds

  • differing communication or emotional processing styles

  • neurodivergent–neurotypical dynamics

  • LGBTQ+ identities and relationship structures

Here, these aspects of your relationship are not viewed as issues to resolve,
but as real, meaningful parts of your story that deserve attention, care, and respect.
