Sally Schulze Psychologist & Counsellor

Thank you for visiting our psychological counselling page for London. Building a life in this extraordinary city can be deeply rewarding, yet the emotional reality of expat life here is often more complicated than the postcards suggest. The distance from loved ones, the effort of decoding British social cues, and the peculiar loneliness that can exist even in a city of nine million -- these experiences are far more common than most people realise. Sitting alone in your flat on a rainy evening, wondering whether London will ever truly feel like home, is something many expats know all too well.

Through my work as an online psychological counsellor, I have gained a deep understanding of the pressures facing expats in the UK. It is seldom the headline issues that wear people down the most. Rather, it is the subtle things -- misreading a colleague's dry humour, feeling perpetually behind on unspoken social rules, or the quiet exhaustion of performing confidence when you feel anything but.

On this page you will find local resources in London alongside information about my online counselling practice. My sessions are specifically shaped to support people navigating life abroad.

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 unsettling it can be to rebuild your life in a new country -- when social norms feel foreign, everyday interactions require extra effort, and you struggle to pinpoint exactly why you feel so out of place.

During our video sessions, we work together to make sense of these experiences. Whether you feel caught between two worlds, are questioning your sense of identity, or are carrying the heavy ache of homesickness -- we will explore concrete ways to help you not just cope in London, but build a life here that feels genuinely yours.

If your relationship is under strain -- especially one that bridges different cultural backgrounds -- my couples counselling can help you find common ground, restore mutual understanding, and rebuild the closeness you may have lost.
