Sally Schulze Psychologist & Counsellor

Thank you for visiting our psychological counselling page for Madrid. The Spanish capital bursts with energy -- its culture, cuisine, and social warmth are magnetic. Yet beneath the sunshine and the lively plazas, many expats quietly navigate feelings of displacement, loneliness, or emotional exhaustion. The gap between the life you imagined and the life you are living can feel surprisingly wide.

Through my work as an online psychological counsellor, I understand the unique adjustments that life in Spain requires. Adapting to different professional rhythms, navigating new social expectations, and managing the emotional distance from home -- these are real challenges that deserve proper support.

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

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 Madrid, 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.
