Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
We're so glad you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Madrid. 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 finding your feet in a new culture, and that feeling of standing with one foot in two worlds – all of that can really take its toll. Especially when the evenings in your apartment in Malasaña grow quiet, homesickness can become overwhelming, and you might feel uprooted. Please know you're not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the unique 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 when sharing tapas, the small misunderstandings that keep popping up in everyday life as you try to communicate in Spanish, and that feeling of identity loss that 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 Madrid that can help you, as well as to introduce you to my online counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an expat – no matter where you are right now or what challenges you're facing. Because sometimes you just need someone who truly understands your situation and can provide you with support and guidance.
I constantly hear 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 to do this by taking care of myself. For me, it's about practicing what I preach. So, you'll not only find me at MentalStark, in TED-Talks, or podcasting. No. You'll also find me in Frankfurt cafés, by the lake, or snowboarding. 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 again full throttle.
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 deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.
For in-person appointments in Madrid, there are several English-speaking psychologists who can provide you with professional support:
Psicolive
Psychological Practice (German-speaking)
Calle de Goya, 57. 1º Derecha
28006, Madrid
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 is sometimes bumpy, the social codes are different, and sometimes you can't even explain why you feel so foreign.
In my online counseling, we create a safe space where you can talk about all these feelings in your native language. Whether you feel torn between cultures, identity questions occupy you, or homesickness weighs you down – together we will find ways how you can not only survive in Madrid, but lead a fulfilling life, perhaps with a walk through Retiro Park or a visit to the Prado Museum.
Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner from another 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 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 Madrid, but really arrive.
