Sally Schulze Psychologist & Counsellor

Thank you for visiting our psychological counselling page for Cologne. This city is famous for its warmth and openness, yet even in a place celebrated for its welcoming spirit, people can feel profoundly alone. Whether you are new to Cologne or have been here for some time, adjusting to a changed life situation -- a move, a career shift, a personal loss -- can leave you searching for solid ground.

Through my work as an online psychological counsellor, I have witnessed how the specific rhythms of Cologne life can affect people. It is not always the big, obvious stressors -- sometimes it is the quieter struggles, like feeling you should be happier than you are, or sensing a gap between the city's jovial reputation and your own inner experience.

Below you will find local practitioners in Cologne as well as details of my online counselling practice. My sessions are shaped around your personal needs, offering a confidential, supportive space to explore what matters most to you.

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 Cologne, 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.
