Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
Welcome! We're so glad you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Odessa. I understand what it feels like to be far from home, especially in a city like Odessa, which is so rich in history and culture but also presents its own unique challenges. Expat life offers 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 – from the bustling markets of Pryvoz to the serene shores of the Black Sea – and that 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. Please know that you are not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the unique difficulties that await you as an English speaker abroad, especially in Odessa. 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, whether it's negotiating in the market or trying to understand the complicated traffic rules, and that feeling of loss of identity that's so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how draining that can be.
My goal here is to show you both local resources in Odessa 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 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 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. The following applies to me: Practise 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. That's how I recharge my batteries and then get back to work at full speed.
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 English speaker abroad deserve special attention and understanding, because life between two cultures brings unique challenges.
Unfortunately, there are currently no English-speaking psychologists based in Odessa. Finding psychological support in your native language can be a challenge in this region. This makes online counseling a particularly valuable option.
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 safe 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 Odessa, 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.
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. You are also welcome to make appointments by email. I look forward to getting to know you and working together to find a way for you to not only survive in Odessa, but to really arrive.
