Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
We are so glad you've found our page for English-speaking psychological support in Birmingham. I understand how it feels to be far from home. Expat life holds so many wonderful opportunities, but it can also be an emotional rollercoaster. The longing for family and friends, the challenge of navigating a new culture, and the feeling of straddling two worlds – all of this can really take a toll. Especially when the grey skies hang over the Bullring and homesickness arises for a sunny Sunday walk in the Black Forest, the feeling of being uprooted can be overwhelming. You are not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the unique challenges that await you as a German abroad. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle nuances in small talk at the office, the little misunderstandings when ordering a "pint" at the pub, that keep popping up in everyday life, and that feeling of identity loss that is so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how draining that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local resources in Birmingham that can help you, and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as a German abroad – no matter where you are or what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can help you with advice and support.
I often hear the question: Sally, do you 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 succeed in this by taking care of myself. Here, for me, it applies: Practise what you preach. So you'll find me not only at MentalStark, in TED talks or podcasting. No. You can also find me in Frankfurt cafes, 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 work full throttle.
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 as a German abroad deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.
Finding English-speaking psychological support in Birmingham can be a challenge. While the city itself has a vibrant and diverse community, it is not always easy to find professional help in your native language. Especially if you are struggling with homesickness, adjustment difficulties or feelings of isolation, it can be very valuable to express yourself in your own language.
Currently, there are no known English-speaking psychologists practicing directly in Birmingham. However, I would like to encourage you not to give up and to consider alternative ways to get the support you deserve.
As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming it can be to adjust to a new culture – when the "Brummie" accent is hard to understand, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so foreign.
In my online counseling, we create a safe space where you can talk about all these feelings in your native language. Whether you feel torn between cultures, identity issues are bothering you, or homesickness is weighing you down – together we will find ways for you to not only survive in Birmingham, but to lead a fulfilling life.
Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner from a different cultural background – my couples counseling is a valuable support to build cultural bridges and find your way back to each other.
The 20-minute introductory meeting 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 e-mail. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together so that you can not only survive in Birmingham, but really arrive.
