Sally Schulze Psychologist & Counsellor

Thank you for visiting our psychological counselling page for New York City. This is a place that promises everything -- ambition, opportunity, reinvention -- yet it can also be one of the loneliest cities on earth. The relentless pace, the pressure to succeed, and the staggering cost of simply existing here create an emotional environment that many expats find far more demanding than they anticipated. If the city that never sleeps is keeping you awake with worry, you are not alone.

Through my work as an online psychological counsellor, I understand the particular challenges that expats face in New York. It is rarely just the obvious adjustments -- language, culture, bureaucracy. It is the subtler shifts: the different approach to friendships, the unspoken competitiveness, and the constant feeling that you need to prove your right to be here.

On this page you will find local practitioners in New York City alongside information about my online counselling service.

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 demanding it can be to find your footing in New York -- when the city's velocity leaves you breathless, its sheer scale can feel isolating rather than exciting, and you cannot quite explain why such an iconic place sometimes feels so inhospitable.

During our video sessions, we work together to make sense of your experience. Whether you feel pulled between two cultural identities, are wrestling with questions of self-worth, or are carrying the deep ache of homesickness -- we will chart a course towards not just surviving New York City, but genuinely building a meaningful life here.

If your relationship is under strain -- especially one that bridges different cultural backgrounds -- my couples counselling can help you find common ground, restore understanding, and rebuild the connection that brought you together.
