Relocation Consultations for Irish Expats and Emigrants
Moving to Australia or back to Ireland doesn’t need to be scary, overwhelming or make you feel like you’ve made the wrong decision.
Let Sarah Whelan help you make your next move with clarity, understanding and certainty.
Why might a Consultation be for you?
I see you! You’re spending hours – or days – trying to find information, scrolling Facebook groups and Google but only feeling more lost and confused.
You are overwhelmed with a long packing and moving to-do list.
You’re stuck and anxious in your current location.
You’re wondering what’s next for you and your life journey.
You worry about the impact of your decision, but know things have to change?
You just wish someone had a roadmap to show you the way!
Sarah's Relocation Consultation
Who is it for?
It’s for you if you answer YES! to any of these statements:
- The overwhlem is real and you want to save time and money by linking you with our recommended referral partners!
- You want to overcome the logistical and planning challenges when planning your move
- It's time to get clear on what you want your life to look like - be it in Ireland or abroad
- You want to transfer money cheaply internationally
- If you've returned to Ireland, you're ready to settle into your new life with personalised advice and empathetic support
Why Sarah Whelan?
Because she’s been there and gotten the t-shirt from both sides of the globe.
As someone who has uprooted her life and her family twice, Sarah knows intimately the feelings of doubt, anxiety, loss and confusion that come with being pulled in different directions.
Sarah has supported dozens of Irish emigrants and expats in her online community since 2019 and has access to a wide network of recommended businesses and services she can link you with.
If you are returning to Ireland or moving to Australia Sarah will step you through the process and help you think things through.
The Process
01
Simply choose a suitable date that works for you. Pay in advance to book in 90 minutes of my time.
02
What do you want to cover in the consult? I can tailor my recommendations to your situation.
03
We chat over a cuppa (via Zoom) to empower, inspire and guide you through this time of confusion and to help you come out the other side with clarity and certainty.
04
Within 24 hours, your personalised Road Map containing any extra resources will be sent straight to your inbox. You can send through any questions or concerns via Voxer App.
Prefer your Consultation without the fluff?
Opt for a 60-min 1:1 consult instead. (AUD $200)
This is my option for Irish expats who feel they only need clarity on one aspect of relocating. Although it doesn’t tap into my full consultation service, it is still a good option for those who need a 60 minute sounding board.

Case Study: Returning to Ireland
Katie's Story
After over a decade of living in Sydney, Katie and her husband recently moved to County Tipperary.
A trip to Ireland at Christmas to see family prompted the couple to cement their plans to relocate in May. As a seasoned Irish expat, Katie understood the importance of effective preparation and arranged a Relocation Consultation with me in the lead up to their big move.
As the moving day got closer, Katie was naturally feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tasks to do and trying to make sure she had everything covered.
My advice was tailored around the logistics of culling, selling and shipping items and tools, excess baggage tips and encouragement to look after herself in the process.
I was able to bring my personal experiences to the consultation and support Katie throughout the process, helping Katie to make the best out of challenging circumstances.
The consultation helped Katie to:
- Feel more confident, clear and empowered about taking the next steps
- Be super organised, ticking everything off the tailored resources and checklists as she went along
- Feel supported to ask any questions during our consultation - a space to talk through some of her frustrations and obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions
In a nutshell consulting is objective and experienced guidance from a third-party that helps you unpack and understand the things keeping you up at night.
It’s access to recommended services such as insurance, taxation, currency transfers, shipping and government services.
It’s and ear to listen, the right questions asked, an arm-in-arm tailored guidance to help you take the next step in your life, whatever that looks like.
That’s entirely up to you.
We can chat about your questions.
We can chat about your goals.
We can do a bit of both.
I offer a customised consultation and provide tips, support and advice. Having built up an extensive network, I can suggest services that I feel will assist with your needs.
So I can book in your time for the session and have your commitment so that you won’t cancel on me last minute. I require 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule.
First you lock in the package with your payment via the booking link.
I’ll send you a questionnaire that will help me better understand everything you are struggling with, scared of and need guidance on.
From here, it’s time to get started – exciting!
We’ll meet for 90 minutes either in person (for Sydney- based clients) or over Zoom to empower, inspire and guide you through this time of confusion and to help you come out the other side with clarity.
Within 24 hours I will send you your Road Map and for the next 7 days you can contact me via Voxer (voice messages) to ask any other questions that may have come up after reading the Roadmap.
The customised Road Map PDF will include:
- The goals of your consultation
- Your personalised action plan
- Recommendations and resources discussed on the call and any relevant links and services
I worked with expats from other countries, not just Irish expats. I have worked with women from the UK and Europe and have helped them to achieve similar successes.
Yes, I work with Irish expats holistically around anything related to their lives abroad. Get in touch to find out more.
