Sally Schulze

Psychologist & Counselor

It’s wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Dublin. I truly understand what it feels like to be far from home. Expat life holds so many amazing 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 having one foot in two worlds – it can all be quite nerve-wracking. Especially when the silence settles in and the aroma of freshly baked brown bread fills the air, homesickness can become overwhelming, leaving you feeling uprooted. You're not alone in this.

As an online psychologist, I understand the unique difficulties that await you as an expat. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle nuances, the little misunderstandings during small talk in the pub, that repeatedly surface in everyday life, leading to that hard-to-grasp feeling of loss of identity. I know how draining that can be.

My goal here is to show you both local resources in Dublin that can help you and to introduce you to my online counseling services. These are specifically designed to support you as an expat – no matter where you are in your journey or what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who truly understands your situation and can support you with advice and action.

    I am Sally Schulze

    I often hear 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 this by taking care of myself. Here, for me, "Practise what you preach" applies. So you will not only find me at MentalStark, in TED Talks or podcasting. No. You can also find me in Frankfurt cafes, by the lake or on the snowboard. In the picture here on the right, I am enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. This is how I recharge my batteries and then start again at full speed.

My professional background

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 an expat deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.

English-Speaking Psychologists in Dublin

There are currently no registered English-speaking psychologists for on-site appointments in Dublin. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to take advantage of my online counseling, as this can be a great alternative.

Online Counseling for Expats

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 Irish music sounds cheerful, but you still feel lost, 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 concern you, or homesickness weighs you down – together we will find ways to not only survive in Dublin, 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.

To Your Appointment with the Online Psychologist

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 welcome to arrange appointments by e-mail. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together how you can not only survive in Dublin, but really arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from Expats in Dublin

What psychological challenges do expats in Dublin often face?

Many expats in Dublin struggle with challenges such as finding suitable housing in a tight market, adapting to the Irish work culture, social isolation due to distance from family and friends, and dealing with cultural differences in everyday life. Even the Irish weather can affect your mood!

How can I deal with these challenges?

It's important to actively seek ways to make social contacts, e.g. by joining English-speaking or international groups in Dublin. Participating in local events, visiting pubs with traditional Irish music, or exploring the Irish landscape can also help you feel at home in Dublin. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and exchanging experiences with other expats can also help reduce stress and increase well-being.

How do I find English-speaking psychological counseling in Dublin?

Currently, there are no registered English-speaking psychologists in Dublin. However, online counseling offers you the opportunity to speak to an English-speaking psychologist like myself from the comfort of your own home. Many health insurance companies now cover the costs of online counseling. Waiting times for an appointment are usually shorter than with local therapists.

How can I deal with culture shock in Dublin?

Culture shock is a normal reaction to a new environment. It helps to learn about Irish culture in advance, to be open to new experiences and to take your time to get used to the new environment. Contact with other expats can also be helpful in exchanging experiences and finding support. Try to discover the positive aspects of Irish culture, such as the hospitality of the people or the lively music scene.

What can I do about homesickness and isolation in Dublin?

Homesickness is a common feeling, especially in the first few months in Dublin. Regular contact with family and friends at home can help maintain the connection. At the same time, it is important to build a new social network in Dublin. Visit local events, join clubs or groups with common interests and volunteer. Exploring the city and its surroundings can also help you feel at home in Dublin.

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

Language barriers can lead to frustration, misunderstandings and social isolation. It is important to actively work on your own language skills, e.g. by attending language courses or language tandems. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't understand something. There are also numerous online resources and apps that can help with language learning. If you feel mentally stressed due to language barriers, psychological counseling in your native language can be helpful.

What are the biggest differences between Germans and Irish people and how do I deal with them?

Germans and Irish people differ in some cultural aspects. Irish people are often more direct and casual in their communication than Germans. They value humor and small talk. Germans tend to be more formal and structured. In conflict situations, Irish people often prefer an indirect approach, while Germans are more likely to confront directly. To avoid misunderstandings, it is important to be aware of these differences and to adapt your own communication accordingly. Be open to Irish culture, show interest in the people and try to understand their humor. Sometimes it also helps to just laugh at yourself.
