Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) Sally Schulze
It's wonderful that you've found your way to our page for English-speaking psychological support in Zagreb. I understand what it feels like to be far from home. Expat life holds so many incredible experiences, but it can also be an emotional rollercoaster. The longing for family and friends, the challenge of navigating a new culture, and that feeling of straddling two worlds – it can all take its toll. Especially when the silence sets in, homesickness can become overwhelming and create a feeling of being uprooted. You are not alone.
As an online psychologist, I understand the very specific difficulties you face 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 repeatedly arise 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. Imagine standing in Ban Jelačić Square, surrounded by a foreign language, searching for a piece of home.
My goal here is to show you both local options in Zagreb 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 truly understands your situation and can support you with advice and action.
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'm not burning out.
I manage to do this by taking care of myself. Here, for me, the rule is: Practice what you preach. So you will not only find me at MentalStark, in TED-Talks or podcasting. No. You can also find me in Frankfurt cafés, 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 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.
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 in Zagreb. The search for a suitable therapist can be particularly stressful if you already feel alienated and find it difficult to express your feelings in another language. Therefore, I would like to show you alternative ways to receive psychological support in English.
As an experienced Psychological Psychotherapist, I offer you empathetic psychological online counseling. I understand how overwhelming adapting to a new culture can be – when the traditional "Kafenes" are different, 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 questions are bothering you, or homesickness is burdening you – together we will find ways how you can not only survive in Zagreb, but lead a fulfilling life.
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 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 e-mail. I look forward to getting to know you and finding a way together how you can not only survive in Zagreb, but really arrive.
