Sally Schulze

Psychologist & Counselor

I'm so glad you've found our page for English-speaking psychological support in Krakow. I understand what it feels like 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 navigating a new culture, and the feeling of having one foot in two worlds – all of this can really take a toll. Especially when the silence sets in, homesickness can become overwhelming, leaving you feeling uprooted. You are not alone.

As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific challenges 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 identity loss that's so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how draining that can be. Life in Krakow, with its rich history and vibrant culture, is exciting, but it can also be a strain on your mental well-being.

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

    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 succeed in this by taking care of myself. Here, "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. That's how I recharge my batteries and then start all over again.

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 adapt 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 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 concern you, or homesickness weighs you down – together we will find ways for you to not only survive in Krakow, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from English Speakers Abroad

What psychological challenges do English speakers in Krakow commonly face?

Many English speakers in Krakow struggle with the language barrier, which makes it difficult to access the local job market and can lead to financial worries. Finding accommodation is often difficult, and social isolation, exacerbated by cultural differences, can lead to loneliness. Polish bureaucracy also often poses a major challenge.

How can I deal with the challenges of the Polish job market?

It is important to improve your language skills and actively seek contact with the English-speaking community. Online networks and expat groups can help you find job offers and support. It can also be helpful to find out about the specifics of the Polish job market and, if necessary, seek professional advice.

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

In addition to the possibility of online counseling, there is a psychologist, Anna Jarząbek, in Krakow who offers English-speaking counseling. It is advisable to find out about the costs and possible insurance benefits in advance. Waiting times for an appointment may vary, so it is recommended to contact them early.

How do I deal with culture shock in Krakow?

Culture shock is a normal reaction to a new environment. It is important to take the time to get to know the city and its culture, but also to create spaces where you can feel at home. Contact with other expats and the exchange of experiences can be very helpful. Learning the Polish language can also help you integrate better into the local culture.

What can I do about homesickness and isolation in Krakow?

Regular contact with family and friends can help to maintain the feeling of connection. At the same time, it is important to build a social network in Krakow. There are numerous English and international associations and groups that offer activities and events. Involvement in local projects can also help you feel at home in the new environment.

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 language acquisition and attend language courses if necessary. The use of online translation tools can also be helpful in everyday life. If the language barrier becomes a mental burden, psychological counseling in your native language can be a valuable support.

What are the differences between English speakers and Polish people, and how can I deal with these differences?

English speakers and Polish people often have different communication styles and expectations. Poles are generally a little more direct in their communication. It is helpful to be aware of these differences and to adjust to them. Openness, respect and a willingness to understand the other person's perspective are crucial for successful intercultural communication.
