“Sidsel Byskov Hansen supported us in the process up to an expatriation to Istanbul. We had special requirements for our kids school and Sidsel was a great help for us. Sidsel shared both own experiences, but was also able to provide a full school review and talk us through the various strengths of each school and each school system (Cambridge, IB etc.). Changing country is always a frustrating process but having special requirements for the support system in the school adds another layer of complexity. Sidsel’s support really took the edge off that process and left us calm and excited about the upcoming move - confident that we had made the right school decision. We are now settled in Istanbul and the kids really love their new school.
My full recommendation to anyone considering using the services of Sidsel Byskov Hansen.
Br, Jonas Hauschildt Andersen, Expatriated with Novo Nordisk to Istanbul.”

“It has been a genuine privilege to collaborate with Sidsel Byskov Hansen in her role as an external consultant. She has contributed in multiple capacities, both through her individual work with students, parents and by delivering staff professional development sessions. In each of these contexts her professionalism, expertise and ability to connect with people have been consistently evident.
In her consultations with staff, Sidsel provides valuable insights grounded in both research and practice. She communicates complex psychological concepts in a way that is accessible and engaging, enabling colleagues to apply her advice with confidence. Her ability to frame feedback constructively ensures that the recipient feels supported while also challenged to reflect and grow.
Sidsel brings a breadth of knowledge that reflects her extensive experience within both the Danish national sector and the international school environment. This dual perspective allows her to navigate the different pathways and expectations that families encounter, making her support particularly relevant to our diverse school community. She demonstrates a deep understanding of the complexities faced by international and local families alike and offers guidance that is both empathetic and practical.
We are very grateful for her expertise; her clarity of communication; and her thoughtful contributions, all of which have enriched our school's provision and strengthened our capacity to support student wellbeing and learning.
