Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in St. Petersburg. I understand what it's 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 navigating a new culture, and the feeling of having one foot in two worlds – all of this can really test your nerves. Especially when the long winter evenings bring silence, homesickness can become overwhelming, creating a feeling of being uprooted. You are not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties that await you as an English speaker 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 is so hard to grasp and put into words. I know how exhausting that can be, especially in a city like St. Petersburg, which is so rich in history and yet so different from anything you know.
My goal here is to introduce you to online counseling specifically designed to support you as an English speaker in St. Petersburg – no matter where you are right now or what challenges you face. Because sometimes you just need someone who really understands your situation and can help you with advice and support. Unfortunately, there are currently very few English-speaking psychologists on the ground in St. Petersburg.
I always hear 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 that by taking care of myself. The following applies to me here: 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 start again 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.
A trusting relationship is particularly important to me in our collaboration. Your experiences as an English speaker in St. Petersburg deserve special attention and understanding, because life in Russia brings unique challenges.
Unfortunately, there are currently very few English-speaking psychologists in St. Petersburg. This can make it difficult to find suitable psychological support. Therefore, I would like to show you alternative ways in which you can still access psychological counseling in your native language.
As an experienced psychological psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming it can be to adapt 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 alien, especially in the vibrant and culturally rich St. Petersburg.
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 concern you, or homesickness weighs you down – together we will find ways for you to not only survive in St. Petersburg, 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 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 how you can not only survive in St. Petersburg, but really arrive.
