This article presents the therapeutic journey of Tee, a 34-year-old woman from Zimbabwe experiencing adjustment difficultiesfollowing her husband’s relocation to the United Kingdom. To assess the client, the therapist used the Clinical Interview, BeckDepression Inventory- II (BDI-II), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Parental Stress Scale (PSS) and Adjustment DisorderNew Module (ADNM-20). The scores revealed mild depressive symptoms, moderate, high parental stress and risk ofadjustment disorder respectively. A multimodal therapeutic approach integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) andAcceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) was used to address her emotional distress, parenting challenges and reducedsocial engagement. Over the course of therapy, the client demonstrated improved coping strategies, reduced parental stress,and enhanced emotional resilience and re engagement in social support systems. The case highlights the importance ofintegrating culturally relevant and evidence-based interventions in supporting the clients facing migration related stressors.
