Sally Schulze

Psychologist & Counselor

It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for psychological support in Brașov. We understand what it's like to be far from home. Expat life holds so many incredible experiences, but it can also be an emotional rollercoaster. The longing for family and friends, the challenge of navigating a new culture, and that feeling of straddling two worlds – it can all be incredibly taxing. Especially when the quiet settles in, the homesickness can become overwhelming, and you might feel unrooted. You're not alone in this.

As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties you face as an expatriate. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings that repeatedly surface in everyday life, and that feeling of loss of identity that's so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how draining that can be. In a city like Brașov, with its rich history and many tourists, it can sometimes be difficult to truly feel at home.

My goal is to show you both local resources in Brașov that can help you, as well as to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an expatriate – no matter where you are on your journey or what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can offer 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'm passionate about women's health. But I don't burn out.

    I manage to do this by taking care of myself. For me, it's about practicing what you preach. So you'll find me not only at MentalStark, in TED Talks, or podcasting. No. You'll also find me in Frankfurt cafes, by the lake, or on the snowboard. 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 it with full energy.

Online Counseling for Expatriates

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming adapting to a new culture can be – when the language sounds foreign, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so strange.

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, identity questions are occupying you, or homesickness is weighing you down – together we will find ways for you not only to survive in Brașov, but to lead a fulfilling life.

Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner from another cultural background – my couples counseling is a valuable support to build cultural bridges and find your way back to each other.

Your Appointment with the Online Psychologist

The 20-minute introductory call 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 how you can not only survive in Brașov, but really arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from Expatriates in Brașov

What specific mental health challenges do expatriates in Brașov often experience?

Many expatriates in Brașov struggle with finding accommodation, learning the Romanian language, and building a new social network. Differences in the work culture and bureaucracy can add additional stress. A feeling of isolation often arises, especially in the winter months when the city is less touristy. In psychological counseling, we can address these specific challenges together.

How can I cope with these challenges?

It's important to have realistic expectations and not overwhelm yourself. Actively seek contact with other expatriates in Brașov, for example, through online groups or meetups. Take language courses and try to get to know the Romanian culture. Plan regular activities that you enjoy, such as hikes in the Carpathian Mountains or visits to the historic old town. And don't hesitate to seek professional help if you feel overwhelmed.

How do I find English-speaking psychological support in Brașov?

On-site in Brașov, Dr. Mihaela Voicu is available as a psychologist. Alternatively, I offer my online counseling, which is flexible and location-independent. An introductory call is free and without obligation. The costs for an online session vary, and it is advisable to inquire in advance about possible insurance benefits. Waiting times for appointments may vary, so it is advisable to inquire early.

How do I deal with culture shock in Brașov?

Culture shock is a normal reaction to a new environment. Accept that it takes time to adjust. Be open to new experiences, but also allow yourself to maintain your identity. Try to understand Romanian culture, but don't judge it. Seek exchange with other expats who have had similar experiences. And don't forget that professional psychological counseling can help you better cope with culture shock.

What can I do about homesickness and isolation in Brașov?

Homesickness is a sign that you have a strong connection to your homeland. Allow yourself to feel these feelings, but don't let them overwhelm you. Plan regular phone calls or video calls with family and friends. Cook meals or maintain other traditions. At the same time, you should actively participate in life in Brașov, for example by participating in local events or joining a club. A walk on Tampa or a visit to the Black Church can also help connect with the city.

How do language barriers affect my mental health, and what resources are available?

Language barriers can lead to frustration, misunderstandings, and social isolation. Take a language course or find a tandem partner to improve your Romanian skills. Use online translation tools to better understand each other in everyday life. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't understand something. And remember that psychological counseling can help you cope with the emotional impact of language barriers.

What are the most common conflicts between expats and locals, and how can I deal with them?

Cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings. People often value punctuality and directness, while locals tend to communicate more flexibly and indirectly. It is important to be aware of these differences and to understand the other person's perspective. Be patient and tolerant, even if you sometimes feel misunderstood. Avoid generalizing or judging. And seek conversation to clear up misunderstandings. In psychological counseling, we can jointly develop strategies for resolving intercultural conflicts constructively.
