Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for psychological support in Brussels. I understand what it feels like to be far from home, especially in a city like Brussels, which can be so international and yet so demanding. Life as an expat holds so many wonderful experiences, but it can also be an emotional rollercoaster. The longing for family and friends, the challenge of navigating a new political and cultural environment, and that feeling of having one foot in so many different worlds – all of this can really take a toll. Especially when the silence sets in, homesickness can become overwhelming, and the feeling of being uprooted can arise. You are not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties that await you as a German abroad, especially in Brussels. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers concerning French and Flemish. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings in European politics that keep cropping up in everyday life, and that feeling of loss of identity that is so difficult to grasp and put into words. I know how exhausting that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local options in Brussels that can help you, as well as to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as a German abroad – no matter where you are and what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can offer advice and support.
I keep hearing the question: Sally, do you also 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 that by taking care of myself. Here, "Practise what you preach" applies to me. So you can 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'm enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. That's how I recharge my batteries and then start again at 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.
A trusting relationship is particularly important to me in our collaboration. Your experiences as a German abroad deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.
For in-person appointments in Brussels, there are several English-speaking psychologists who can provide you with professional support:

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 language sounds foreign, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so alien.
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 burdening you – together we will find ways for you not only to survive in Brussels, 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.
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 email. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together for you not only to survive in Brussels, but to really arrive.
