Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
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 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.
As a licensed Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) and certified fertility counselor (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 in Bielefeld deserve special attention and understanding, because a move, a new job or other changes can be a big adjustment.

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how stressful it can be if you don't feel properly at home in Bielefeld – if the search for a suitable apartment is difficult, the job doesn't live up to what it promised, or you simply feel like you're not really arriving.
In my online counseling, we create a protected space where you can talk about all these feelings. Whether you feel stressed, identity questions are bothering you, or you just need someone to talk to – together we will find ways how you can lead a fulfilled life 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.
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.
Finding an English-speaking psychologist can be crucial for effective therapy. While some local therapists may have some English proficiency, consider the following:
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.
Besides individual therapy, there are other resources that can support your mental well-being:
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.
