Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for psychological support in Bergen, specifically designed for English speakers. We understand the unique experience of being far from home, especially in a city surrounded by such breathtaking, yet sometimes overwhelming, natural beauty. Expat life in Bergen brings many unique joys, from exploring the fjords to experiencing the charm of Bryggen, but it can also be a time of significant adjustment and internal struggle. The long, dark winters, the damp climate, and the unfamiliar quiet can take a toll.
As an Online Psychologist, I deeply understand the particular challenges you face as an English speaker in Norway. It's more than just learning the Norwegian language or adapting to the local culture. It's about the subtle differences in social interactions, the longing for familiar traditions, and the feeling of living in a city that's vastly different from what you're used to. I know how much this can affect your mental well-being.
My goal is to show you both local resources in Bergen that can help you, as well as introduce you to my Online Counseling. This is specially designed to support you as an expat – whether you've just arrived or have been living here for years and simply need someone to talk to who truly understands your situation. Because sometimes you just need someone who genuinely understands your situation and can offer support and guidance.
I often get asked: Sally, do you ever take time for yourself? The answer is: Yes! As a speaker, expert and entrepreneur, I am passionate about women's health. But I don't burn out.
I manage to do this by taking care of myself. Here's where I practise what I preach. So you'll find me not only at MentalStark, in TED Talks or podcasting. No. You can also find me in Frankfurt cafés, by the lake or on the snowboard. In the picture here on the right I am enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. This is how I recharge my batteries and then get back to work full of energy.
As a licensed Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) and certified fertility consultant (BKiD), I bring more than 3,000 hours of experience in online counseling. My approach is based on appreciation and radical acceptance – I create a safe space where you feel understood and accepted.
In our collaboration, a trusting relationship is particularly important to me. Your experiences as an expat deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.
Unfortunately, there are currently no directly English-speaking psychologists with their own practice in Bergen. The good news is that there are English-speaking professionals available and that I can offer you a convenient and familiar alternative with my online counseling.

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming it can be to adapt to a new culture – when the language sounds foreign, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so alienated. Especially in Bergen, where nature is so present and the silence so deep, the longing for home can feel particularly strong.
In my online counseling, we create a protected space where you can talk about all these feelings in your native language. Whether you feel torn between cultures, the long winters weigh you down, or you simply need someone to talk to – together we will find ways for you to not only survive in Bergen, but to live a fulfilling life.
Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner from another culture – my Couples Counseling is a valuable support to build cultural bridges and find your way back to each other.
The 20-minute introductory conversation with me is free of charge. Check completely without obligation whether the chemistry is right and ask your open questions. You are also welcome to make appointments by email. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together for you to not only survive in Bergen, but to really arrive.
