Sally Schulze

Psychologist & Consultant

It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for psychological support in Frankfurt. We understand what it feels like to be away from home, even if Frankfurt might not be "far" in the geographical sense. Life as an expat or newcomer in a city like Frankfurt presents unique challenges. The move, the job search, making new connections, and the feeling of needing to find your way in a new environment – it can all take a toll. Especially in a vibrant city like Frankfurt, where the pressure is often high. You are not alone.

As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties that await you as a German abroad or as a new Frankfurter. It's often not just the obvious things like finding an apartment or the high standard of living. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings in everyday life, that keep popping up and that feeling of not really belonging, which 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 options in Frankfurt that can help you, and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as a German abroad or as a new Frankfurter – no matter where you are or what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can support you with advice and action.

    I am Sally Schulze

    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 this by taking care of myself. This is where practise what you preach applies to me. So you will 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 am enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. This is how I recharge my batteries and then get going again at full speed.

Online Counseling for Germans Abroad or New Frankfurters

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming the adjustment to a new city can be – when the apartment search is difficult, the social codes are different, and you sometimes can't even explain why you feel so foreign.

In my online counseling, we create a protected space where you can talk about all these feelings in your native language. Whether you feel you don't belong, identity questions are bothering you, or homesickness is weighing you down – together we will find ways for you to not only survive in Frankfurt, but to lead a fulfilling life.

Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner from a different cultural background or with different ideas about life in Frankfurt – my couples counseling is a valuable support to build bridges and find each other again.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Germans Abroad and New Frankfurters

What are the most common psychological challenges for expats and new Frankfurters?

In Frankfurt, many expats and new Frankfurters experience challenges such as high pressure to perform at work, difficulty finding affordable housing, social isolation due to language barriers or cultural differences, and longing for a familiar environment. The feeling of getting lost in the fast-paced city can also be stressful.

How can I deal with the stress of the Frankfurt job market?

The Frankfurt job market is competitive. It is important to have realistic expectations, not to compare yourself to others and to pay attention to your own needs. Relaxation techniques, sport and a good social network can help to reduce stress. Psychological counselling can also help to develop strategies for coping with stress.

How do I find psychological counselling in Frankfurt?

There are various ways to find psychological counselling in Frankfurt. You can contact established psychologists such as Dipl.-Psych. Sina Vogel and Dipl.-Psych. Julia Klöpping. Another option is online counselling, which is flexible and location-independent. Waiting times for a therapy place can vary, so it is advisable to find out more early on and, if necessary, make several enquiries. The costs of psychological counselling can vary depending on the provider. Some health insurance companies cover the costs of psychotherapy if a mental illness is present.

How can I deal with culture shock in Frankfurt?

Even within Germany, moving to Frankfurt can trigger culture shock. Find out about Frankfurt culture and mentality, be open to new things and seek contact with locals. German communities and expat groups can also be a good support. Accept that it takes time to settle in and be patient with yourself.

What can I do about homesickness and isolation in Frankfurt?

Homesickness and isolation are common feelings among expats and new Frankfurters. Try to develop a routine that gives you security. Seek contact with other people, get involved in clubs or groups with shared interests and explore the city. Regular phone calls or video calls with family and friends back home can also help. Frankfurt parks such as the Grüneburgpark or the Bethmannpark offer beautiful places to relax.

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

Language barriers can lead to frustration, misunderstandings and social isolation. Use language courses to improve your German skills and don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't understand something. There are numerous language schools and integration courses in Frankfurt. Psychological counselling in German can also help you cope with the challenges.

What are the most common conflicts between Germans and other nationalities in Frankfurt and how can you deal with them?

Many cultures meet in Frankfurt, which can lead to misunderstandings. Typical conflicts arise from different communication styles, ways of working and values. It is important to be aware that there are different perspectives and to be open to other cultures. Try to understand the backgrounds of other people's behaviour and address misunderstandings openly. Intercultural training can help to increase sensitivity to other cultures and avoid conflicts.
