Sally Schulze

Psychologist & Counselor

It’s wonderful that you’ve found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Naples. I understand what it feels like to be far from home. Life as an expat in such a vibrant city like Naples offers many unique experiences, but it can also be quite challenging. The longing for family and friends back home, adjusting to a new culture, and the feeling of adapting to this lively, sometimes chaotic place – all of this can take its toll. Especially when the bustling streets become quiet, homesickness can become overwhelming, and you may feel uprooted. But you are not alone in this.

As an Online Psychologist, I understand the particular difficulties that await you as an English speaker abroad, especially here in Italy. It's often not just the obvious things like the Italian language or the Mediterranean lifestyle. It's the small, subtle differences that keep cropping up in everyday life and can amplify this feeling of being a stranger. I know how exhausting that can be.

My goal here is to give you both information on local resources in Naples that may be helpful and to introduce you to my online counseling services. 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 truly understands your situation and can support you with advice and practical help.

    I am Sally Schulze

    I often get 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. For me, this means: Practice what you preach. So you will find me not only at MentalStark, in TED-Talks or podcasting. No. You can also find me in Frankfurt cafes, 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 energy and then start again at full speed.

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 alienated.

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 for you to not only survive in Naples, 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) for Expats in Naples

What specific mental health challenges exist for expats in Naples?

In Naples, expats can face challenges such as adjusting to the lively, sometimes chaotic culture, the language barrier, and feelings of social isolation. Bureaucracy and different work styles can also cause stress.

How can I deal with these challenges?

It's important to actively build social connections, e.g., in expat groups or language courses. Try to get to know and embrace the Italian culture. Set realistic goals and don't expect to adapt perfectly right away. Seek professional psychological counseling if needed.

How do I find psychological counseling in Naples?

Since there are few English-speaking psychologists in Naples, online counseling is a good option. You can also search for Italian-speaking psychologists. Check with your health insurance company to see if the costs are covered. Waiting times may vary, so it's advisable to make appointments early. I also offer Online Counseling.

How do I deal with culture shock in Naples?

Culture shock is normal. Find out about Italian culture in advance and be open to new experiences. Accept that there are differences and try to understand them. Talk to other expats about your experiences and seek support if you feel overwhelmed. Explore the city and find places where you feel comfortable.

What can I do about homesickness and isolation in Naples?

Regular contact with family and friends back home is important. Plan visits or use video calls. Get involved in local clubs or groups that share your interests. Learn Italian to communicate better. Explore the surroundings of Naples and discover the beauty of the region.

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

Language barriers can lead to frustration, misunderstandings, and social isolation. Take language courses or use online language learning programs. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't understand something. There are also apps and online translation tools that can help you in everyday life.

What are the most common difficulties between English speakers and Italians and how do I deal with them?

Different communication styles can lead to misunderstandings. English speakers are often more direct, while Italians tend to communicate more indirectly. Punctuality is often valued more highly in some cultures than in Italy. Try to understand the cultural differences and adapt. Talk openly about your expectations and be tolerant of other behaviors.
