Psychologist & Counselor

We're so glad you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Liverpool. We 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 finding your way in a new culture, and that feeling of having one foot in two worlds – all of that can really test your nerves. Especially when the silence sets in, homesickness can become overwhelming, and you might feel uprooted. You are not alone. The Beatles' city, with all its charm, can sometimes feel quite lonely.

As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties that await you as an expat 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's so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how exhausting that can be, especially when you're trying to integrate into a city like Liverpool, where the dialect and cultural peculiarities can be even more challenging.

My goal here is to show you both local resources in Liverpool that can help you and to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an expat abroad – 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 often hear the question: Sally, do you also 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 to do that by taking care of myself. Here, for me, the motto is: Practice what you preach. So you'll find me not only at MentalStark, in TED Talks, or podcasting. No. You'll also find me in Frankfurt cafes, by the lake, or on a snowboard. In the picture here on the right, I'm enjoying the sun and the fresh sea breeze. That's how I recharge my batteries and then start all over again at full speed.

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.

In our collaboration, a trusting relationship is particularly important to me. Your experiences as an expat abroad deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.

English-speaking Psychologists in Liverpool

Unfortunately, there are currently no established English-speaking psychologists in Liverpool who also speak German. This can make the search for suitable psychological support more difficult. Therefore, I would like to show you alternative ways in which you can receive psychological counseling in your native language.

Online Counseling for Expats Abroad

As an experienced psychological psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming adapting to a new culture can be – when the language sounds foreign, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so alien. Especially in a city like Liverpool, with its distinctive local character, these feelings can be intensified.

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 questions are bothering you, or homesickness is weighing you down – together we will find ways for you to not only survive in Liverpool, 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.

Your Appointment with the Online Psychologist

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 e-mail. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together how you can not only survive in Liverpool, but really arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from Expats Abroad

What specific psychological challenges do expats in Liverpool experience?

Many expats in Liverpool struggle with adapting to the northern English humor, which is often very direct and self-deprecating. Finding accommodation can also be difficult, as the standards and customs differ from those in other countries. Social isolation can also be a problem, especially if you have difficulty connecting with the local population. The high unemployment rate in certain sectors can lead to financial stress and anxiety about the future.

How can I deal with the specific challenges in Liverpool?

To cope with northern English humor, it helps to be open and engage with it. Try not to take the self-deprecation personally and learn to laugh along. When looking for accommodation, it is advisable to get information early and take local customs into account. To combat social isolation, it helps to actively make contacts, e.g. through expat clubs in Liverpool or international Meetup groups. If you have financial worries, it is important to seek professional support, e.g. from local advice centers.

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

Since there are currently no established English-speaking psychologists in Liverpool who also speak German, online counseling is a good alternative. You can access professional support in your native language from anywhere. Make sure that the online psychologist has experience with the particular challenges of expats. For example, I offer special online counseling for expats abroad.

How much does psychological counseling cost in Liverpool and which insurances cover the costs?

The costs for private psychological counseling in Liverpool vary greatly. As a rule, you have to expect £50 to £150 per session. The state health care system (NHS) offers free psychological support, but the waiting times are often long and the offers are not always available in English. You should clarify in advance whether your insurance covers the costs of online counseling.

How do I deal with culture shock in Liverpool?

Culture shock is a normal reaction to a new environment. In Liverpool, it can manifest itself, for example, through the unfamiliar dialect, the different food culture, or the different social norms. It is important to take time to adapt, be open to new things, and at the same time reflect on your own roots. Seek contact with other expats in Liverpool and exchange experiences.

How can I combat homesickness and isolation in Liverpool?

Homesickness and isolation are common companions of expat life. To counteract this, it helps to build a social network, pursue hobbies, and actively participate in local life. For example, visit concerts at the Cavern Club, join a sports club, or volunteer. Regular contact with family and friends back home can also help ease homesickness.

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

Language barriers can lead to frustration, misunderstandings, and social isolation. If you have difficulty expressing yourself in English in Liverpool, this can affect your mental health. However, there are various resources that can help you improve your language skills, e.g. language courses at the University of Liverpool or in local language schools. Online language courses or tandem partners can also be helpful. Don't be afraid to ask for help and use translation apps to overcome communication barriers.

What are the most common conflicts between Germans and Brits and how can I deal with them?

Different communication styles often clash. Germans are sometimes perceived as too direct or critical, while Brits tend to avoid conflict and communicate indirectly. Another difference lies in the handling of rules and regulations. Germans often value clear structures and order, while Brits are more flexible and pragmatic. To avoid misunderstandings, it is important to be aware of the cultural differences and adapt your own communication accordingly. Try to express criticism constructively and put yourself in the British way of thinking. Humor can also be a good way to defuse tensions.
