Sally Schulze Psychologist & Counsellor

Thank you for visiting our psychological counselling page for Dubai. Life in this gleaming metropolis can look spectacular from the outside -- yet the emotional reality of being an expat here often tells a different story. Behind the dazzling skyline and the promise of opportunity, many people quietly struggle with pressure, isolation, and a nagging sense of disconnection. If this resonates with you, please know you are not alone.

Through my work as an online psychological counsellor, I have gained a deep appreciation for the specific stresses that Dubai places on its residents. It is not only the cultural adjustment and language differences -- the intense professional demands, the elevated cost of daily life, and the transient nature of expat communities all add layers of emotional complexity that can be difficult to manage alone.

On this page you will find local resources in Dubai alongside details of my online counselling practice.

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 to build a life in a culture so different from your own -- when social expectations feel unfamiliar, professional norms differ significantly, and you cannot always put your finger on why something feels off.

During our video sessions, we work together to make sense of what you are experiencing. Whether you feel caught between two worlds, are grappling with questions of identity and belonging, or are weighed down by homesickness -- we will find practical, sustainable paths towards not merely getting by in Dubai, but genuinely building a life that feels meaningful. Perhaps you miss the simplicity of a quiet Sunday afternoon at home while the Dubai skyline glitters outside your window. There is space for all of that in our conversations.

If your relationship is under strain -- especially one that bridges different cultural backgrounds -- my couples counselling can help you navigate those differences, rebuild trust, and rediscover your connection to each other.
