Sally Schulze

Psychologist & Consultant

It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for psychological support in Bielefeld. I understand what it feels like to be in a new environment, perhaps even far from your original home. Life in Bielefeld can offer many wonderful experiences, but also present challenges, especially if you're new here or feeling like an outsider.

As an Online Psychologist, I understand the unique difficulties that you might face as an expat in Bielefeld. It's not always just the obvious things, but often the small, subtle differences in everyday life that can trigger feelings of insecurity or discomfort. I know how that can be.

My goal is to show you both local resources in Bielefeld that can help you, and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you in your current situation – whether you've just arrived or have been living here for a while and are longing for change. Sometimes you just need someone who truly understands your situation and can provide advice and support.

    I am Sally Schulze

    I often hear the question: 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, I truly 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 snowboarding. In the picture here on the right, I'm enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. That's how I recharge my batteries and then get back to full speed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from Expats in Bielefeld

What specific psychological challenges are there for expats in Bielefeld?

Many expats in Bielefeld experience challenges related to cultural adjustment, language barriers, the job market, finding housing, or social isolation. The city's rather tranquil atmosphere can be an adjustment for some and lead to feelings of loneliness. Integrating into the local community can also be a challenge.

How can I deal with these challenges?

It's important to be proactive and build a social network. Look for local clubs, groups, or initiatives that match your interests. Volunteer, take language courses, or attend cultural events. Talk openly about your feelings and seek professional support if needed.

How can I find an English-speaking psychologist in Bielefeld?

Finding an English-speaking psychologist can be crucial for effective therapy. While some local therapists may have some English proficiency, consider the following:

  • Online counseling: Online platforms often offer therapists who specialize in working with expats and can conduct sessions in English. This provides greater flexibility and accessibility.
  • Referrals: Ask other expats in Bielefeld for referrals to English-speaking therapists or counselors.
  • Directories: Use online directories specifically designed for finding English-speaking mental health professionals abroad.

How do I navigate cultural differences in Bielefeld?

Cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings and frustration. Be open-minded and curious about local customs and traditions. Observe how people interact and try to understand their communication styles. Don't be afraid to ask questions and seek clarification when needed. Remember that adaptation takes time and patience.

What mental health resources are available for expats in Bielefeld?

Besides individual therapy, there are other resources that can support your mental well-being:

  • Support groups: Look for expat support groups in Bielefeld where you can connect with others who understand your experiences.
  • Online forums: Participate in online forums and communities for expats to share information and receive support.
  • Community centers: Check if there are community centers that offer workshops or events focused on mental health and well-being.

How do I deal with homesickness and isolation?

Homesickness and isolation are common experiences for expats. Try to maintain connections with your home country by staying in touch with family and friends, celebrating familiar holidays, and engaging in activities that remind you of home. At the same time, make an effort to build new connections in Bielefeld by joining clubs, attending events, and meeting new people.
