Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Edinburgh. I understand what it feels like to be far from home. Expat life 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 culture, and that feeling of having one foot in two worlds – it can all take a toll. Especially when the quiet sets in and the bagpipes fall silent, the homesickness can become overwhelming, leaving you feeling uprooted. Please know that you're not alone.
As an Online Psychologist, I understand the unique difficulties you face as an expat. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings that crop up in everyday life, and that feeling of identity loss that is so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how draining that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local resources in Edinburgh that can help you and to introduce you to my Online Counselling. This is specifically designed to support you as an expat – no matter where you are right now and what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who truly understands your situation and can help you with advice and support.
I often get asked: Sally, do you ever 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, I apply: Practise what you preach. So you will not only find me at MentalStark, in TED-Talks or podcasting. No. You will 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.
As a licensed Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) and certified fertility consultant (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.
For in-person appointments in Edinburgh, there is an English-speaking psychologist who can assist you with professional support:

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counselling. I understand how overwhelming it can be to adjust to a new culture – when the language sounds foreign, the social codes are different, and you sometimes can't even explain why you feel so out of place.
In my online counselling, 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 Edinburgh, 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 Counselling is a valuable support to build cultural bridges and find your way back to each other.
The 20-minute introductory consultation 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 to not only survive in Edinburgh, but to really arrive.
