Sally Schulze

Psychologist & Consultant

It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Košice. I understand how it feels to be far from home. Life as an expat holds so many wonderful experiences, but it can also be an emotional rollercoaster. 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 when the silence sets in, homesickness can become overwhelming, creating a sense of being uprooted. Please know that you are not alone. Košice, with its impressive architecture and vibrant cultural scene, is beautiful, but it’s understandable if you sometimes feel like an outsider.

As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties that await you as an English speaker abroad. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle nuances, the small 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. The specific challenges in Košice, such as integrating into the Slovakian workplace or making contacts, can be an additional burden.

My goal is to show you both local resources in Košice, if available, that can help you, and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an English speaker abroad – no matter where you are and what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can help you with advice and support.

    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 "Practice what you preach" applies to me. So you will not only find me at MentalStark, in TED Talks or when 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 back to work.

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 English speaker abroad deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.

English-speaking Psychologists in Košice

Unfortunately, there are currently no English-speaking psychologists or therapists practicing locally in Košice. But that doesn't mean you have to go without support. Online counseling can be a valuable alternative.

Online Counseling for English Speakers Abroad

As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming it can be to adjust to a new culture – when the language sounds foreign, the social codes are different, and sometimes you 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 torn between cultures, identity issues are bothering you, or homesickness is weighing you down – together we will find ways how you can not only survive in Košice, but lead a fulfilling life. I'll help you navigate Slovakian culture without losing your own identity.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from English Speakers Abroad

What specific mental health challenges do English speakers in Košice often experience?

Many English speakers in Košice report challenges integrating into the Slovakian labor market, difficulties finding housing, and social isolation. Cultural differences in communication and social interaction can also lead to misunderstandings and frustration.

How can I deal with these challenges?

It's important to have realistic expectations about adaptation and give yourself time. Actively seek contact with other expats and locals, for example through language courses, clubs or cultural events in Košice. Use online networks to connect with other English speakers in the city. If you feel overwhelmed, don't hesitate to seek professional psychological support.

How do I find psychological counseling in Košice?

Since there are few or no English-speaking psychologists in Košice, online counseling is a good option. On this website you will find information and resources for English-speaking online psychologists. Find out about the costs and possible insurance benefits. Speak openly about your needs to find the right support.

What can I do about culture shock in Košice?

Find out about Slovakian culture in advance and try to understand local customs. Be open to new experiences, but also allow yourself to maintain your own traditions. Seek exchange with other expats to support each other. If you feel overwhelmed, psychological counseling can help you cope with culture shock.

How can I deal with homesickness and isolation in Košice?

Plan regular contact with family and friends back home. Make your home in Košice cozy and familiar. Get involved in local clubs or groups that match your interests. Explore the city and its surroundings to gain new impressions. If feelings of homesickness and isolation persist, psychological counseling can help you develop coping strategies.

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

Language barriers can lead to frustration, misunderstandings and social isolation. Take a language course to improve your Slovak skills. Use online translation tools to facilitate communication. Be patient with yourself and don't hesitate to ask for help. If language barriers are affecting your mental health, psychological counseling can help you develop coping strategies.

How do German and Slovak people differ, and how do I deal with the differences?

English speakers and Slovaks differ in their communication styles, social norms and ways of working. English speakers often value directness and efficiency, while Slovaks tend to communicate more indirectly and relationally. It is important to be aware of these differences and to understand the other person's perspective. Be open to new experiences and try to adapt to local conditions. If conflicts arise, seek dialogue and try to find a common solution. Psychological counseling can help to clarify intercultural misunderstandings and develop strategies for successful integration.
