Psychologist & Consultant

It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Posen. I understand how it feels to be far from home. Life as an expat brings 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 standing with one foot in two worlds – all of this can be incredibly taxing. Especially when the silence sets in, homesickness can become overwhelming, leading to a sense of being uprooted. You're not alone in this. Poznan, with its rich history and vibrant culture, can still feel isolating at times.

As an Online Psychologist, I understand the unique difficulties that await you as an expat. It's often not just the obvious things like cultural differences or language barriers. It's the subtle nuances, the small misunderstandings that repeatedly surface 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. The search for an apartment in Stary Rynek, adapting to Polish bureaucracy, or feeling like you don't quite understand cultural peculiarities – all of this can be stressful.

My goal here is to show you both local options in Posen that can help you, and to introduce you to my Online Counseling. This is specifically designed to support you as an expat – no matter where you are and what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can provide you with advice and support.

    I often get asked the question: Sally, do you ever 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. Here, I live by the motto: Practise what you preach. So you'll find me not only at MentalStark, in TED-Talks or podcasting. No. You can 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. This is how I recharge my batteries and then get going 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.

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

English-Speaking Psychological Support in Posen

Finding English-speaking psychological support in Posen can be a challenge. While there is a growing international community, the availability of native-language psychological support is limited.

According to my current research, there are currently no English-speaking psychologists in Posen that I can recommend here. Should this change, I will update the information here immediately.

Online Counseling for Expats

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 you sometimes can't even explain why you feel so strange.

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 occupy you, or homesickness weighs you down – together we will find ways for you to not only survive in Posen, but to lead a fulfilling life.

Even if you are in a relationship crisis – perhaps even with a partner from another culture – 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 email. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together for you to not only survive in Posen, but to really arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Expats in Poznan

What psychological challenges commonly arise for expats in Poznan?

Many expats in Poznan experience challenges such as difficulties adjusting to Polish culture, feelings of isolation due to language barriers, and the loss of their familiar social network. Professional uncertainties and the complexities of the Polish housing market can also cause psychological stress. Homesickness for German traditions, especially during holidays, is also a frequent topic.

How can I cope with these challenges?

It is important to actively build a social network by joining German or international clubs in Poznan. Try to learn the Polish language to facilitate integration and reduce feelings of isolation. Set realistic goals for your professional and personal development and take time for self-care, such as walks on Lake Malta or visits to the Stary Rynek. Don't hesitate to seek professional psychological counseling to process your feelings and develop strategies for coping with stress.

How do I find psychological counseling in Poznan?

Since there are currently no English-speaking psychologists in Poznan, online counseling is a good option. You can schedule appointments for an initial consultation on our website. Alternatively, you can also find Polish-speaking therapists through local search portals, but you will have to be prepared for counseling in Polish. Waiting times for appointments can vary, so it is advisable to inquire early. The costs of psychological counseling also vary, and it is important to clarify in advance whether your health insurance covers part of the costs.

How do I deal with culture shock in Poznan?

Culture shock is a normal reaction to a new environment. Learn about Polish customs in advance, be open to new experiences, and try to find common ground between your culture and Polish culture. Accept that it takes time to adjust and be patient with yourself. Seek contact with other expats to share experiences and feel supported.

What can I do about homesickness and isolation in Poznan?

Homesickness and isolation are common companions of expat life. Try to maintain regular contact with family and friends in Germany, but avoid focusing only on your old home. Discover the beauty of Poznan, attend local events, and get involved in clubs or groups that match your interests. Create a routine that gives you stability and integrate German traditions into your everyday life in Poznan, e.g. through German food or celebrating German holidays.

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

Language barriers can lead to frustration, misunderstandings and social isolation. Use language courses to improve your Polish language skills and don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't understand something. There are also online resources and apps that can help you learn a language. If you feel mentally burdened by language barriers, online counseling in your native language can be a valuable support.

What are the biggest differences between Germans and Poles and how can I deal with them?

Germans and Poles differ in some cultural aspects, e.g. in communication style, in dealing with hierarchies and in work-life balance. Poles are often more direct and emotional in their communication than Germans. It is important to be aware of these differences and adapt accordingly. Try to understand the perspective of the person you are talking to and be willing to compromise. Open and respectful communication is the key to a successful intercultural relationship.
