Sally Schulze Psychologist & Counsellor

Thank you for visiting our psychological counselling page for Amsterdam. This vibrant canal-laced city promises freedom and openness, yet the emotional reality of expat life here can be more complex than anticipated. The distance from your support network, the adjustment to Dutch directness, and the subtle fatigue of constantly adapting -- these experiences are deeply valid and more widespread than you might think.

Through my work as an online psychological counsellor, I have come to understand the particular pressures of living in the Netherlands. The famous Dutch pragmatism, the cycling-centric pace, and the weather that tests your resilience -- it is often the accumulation of small adjustments, rather than one dramatic event, that brings people to counselling.

On this page you will find details of my online counselling practice alongside general guidance for finding support in Amsterdam.

My Qualifications and Approach

As a qualified psychological counsellor (CBT) and certified fertility counsellor (BKiD), I have accumulated more than 3,000 hours of dedicated online counselling experience. My practice is rooted in genuine warmth and radical acceptance -- I hold space for you to feel truly seen and valued, exactly as you are.

Central to my work is the quality of the relationship we build together. Your lived experience as someone navigating life in a new place calls for a particular kind of understanding, because moving between cultures brings challenges that are both profound and deeply personal.

Online Counselling for People Living Abroad

With extensive experience in psychological counselling, I provide a warm, non-judgemental online space for you. I recognise how disorienting it can be when your surroundings shift -- when everyday interactions feel slightly off-kilter, social expectations differ from what you are used to, and the reasons for your unease are hard to articulate.

During our video sessions, we work together to untangle these feelings. Whether you are wrestling with a sense of displacement, questioning where you truly belong, or carrying the weight of personal difficulties -- we will explore practical paths towards not merely getting by in Amsterdam, but genuinely thriving there.

If your relationship is under strain -- especially one that spans different cultural backgrounds -- my couples counselling can help you bridge those gaps, restore mutual understanding, and rebuild closeness.
