Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Bucharest. I truly understand what it feels like to be far from home. Expat life offers 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 take a toll. Especially when you're sitting in your apartment in the evening, watching the lights of Calea Victoriei twinkle, homesickness can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling uprooted. Please know that you are not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific challenges that await you as an English-speaker abroad. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings that repeatedly pop up in everyday life, for example, when shopping at Piata Obor or communicating with Romanian colleagues, 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 Bucharest that can help you, and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an English-speaker abroad – no matter where you are or what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who truly understands your situation and can support you with advice and assistance.
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. Here, I apply: Practice what you preach. So you'll not only find me at MentalStark, in TED-Talks, or podcasting. No. You'll 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 into full swing.
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 an English-speaker abroad deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.
For on-site appointments in Bucharest, there is an English-speaking psychologist who can assist you with professional support:
Ileana Tănăsescu
Klinische Psychologin und Psychotherapeutin (deutschsprachig)
Bulevardul Eroilor 26

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 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 weighing you down – together we will find ways for you not only to survive in Bucharest, 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 conversation 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 Bucharest, but to really arrive.
