Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for psychological support in Hanover. I understand what it feels like to be in a new environment, even if Germany is your home. Hanover, with its green parks and rich history, is a beautiful city, but moving here, or living here as a "non-Hanoverian," can also present its challenges. The feeling of being a stranger, the difficulty of making new connections, and the pressure to adapt – all of this can be quite nerve-wracking. Especially when the silence sets in, insecurities can become overwhelming, and the feeling of not really belonging can arise. You are not alone in this.
As an online psychologist, I understand the very particular difficulties that await you as a newcomer or as an expat in Hanover. It's often not just the obvious things like finding accommodation or dealing with bureaucracy. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings in everyday life, that keep popping up and that hard-to-grasp feeling of being different, which is so difficult to put into words. I know how exhausting that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local resources in Hanover that can help you, and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you in your situation – no matter where you are right now and what challenges you are facing. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can help you with advice and support.
I keep hearing 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 this by taking care of myself. The saying "practice what you preach" rings true for me. So, you'll find me not only at MentalStark, in TED-Talks, or podcasting, but also in Frankfurt cafés, by the lake, or snowboarding. In the picture to the right, I'm enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. This is how I recharge my batteries and then start again with full energy.
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 a newcomer or expat in Hanover deserve special attention and understanding, because living in a new environment brings unique challenges.

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming it can be to adjust to a new environment – when people "tick" differently, 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. Whether you don't feel like you belong, identity questions are bothering you, or you simply long for someone who understands you – together we will find ways in which you can not only survive in Hanover, but lead a fulfilling life.
Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner who is "typically" German, while you feel different – my couples counseling is a valuable support to build 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 arrange appointments by email. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together to help you not only survive in Hanover, but really arrive.
