Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
Welcome! We are so glad you've found our page for psychological support in Gdańsk. We understand what it's like to be far from home. Life as an expat holds so many wonderful experiences, but it can also be a rollercoaster of emotions. The longing for family and friends, the challenge of finding your way in a new culture, and that feeling of having one foot in two worlds – all of that can really take a toll. Especially in a city like Gdańsk, which is so rich in history but also in upheaval, homesickness can become overwhelming and create a feeling of being uprooted. Please know that you are not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the very particular difficulties that await you as someone living abroad. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's living in a city that has retained so much of its history while also being so deeply Polish. It's the subtle nuances, the little misunderstandings that keep cropping up in everyday life, and that feeling of loss of identity that is so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how exhausting that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local resources in Gdańsk that can help you, and to introduce you to my online counseling services. These are specifically designed to support you as someone living 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 get asked 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, the motto is: Practice 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 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. This is 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 someone living abroad deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.
Unfortunately, there are currently no English-speaking psychologists for in-person appointments in Gdańsk. Finding a suitable therapist can be a challenge, but I want to assure you that you are not alone.
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 you sometimes can't even explain why you feel so alien. Especially in Gdańsk, with its complex history and strong Polish traditions, this alienation can be amplified.
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 issues are bothering you, or homesickness is weighing you down – together we will find ways for you to not only survive in Gdańsk, 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 email. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together for you to not only survive in Gdańsk, but to really arrive.
