Sally Schulze Psychologist & Counsellor

Thank you for visiting our psychological counselling page for Paris. The romance of the City of Light is undeniable, yet the day-to-day reality of expat life here carries its own emotional complexities. The ache of missing loved ones, the effort of navigating French bureaucracy and social customs, and the strange in-between feeling of living across two cultures -- these experiences can quietly accumulate until they feel unmanageable. Watching the Seine at dusk and feeling profoundly alone, even surrounded by beauty, is something many expats in Paris have experienced.

Through my work as an online psychological counsellor, I appreciate the layered challenges that expats in France face. Beyond the obvious hurdles of language and cultural adjustment, there are subtler pressures -- the expectations around formality, the pace at which friendships develop, and the unspoken social codes that can make daily life feel like a puzzle.

On this page you will find local resources in Paris 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 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 Paris, 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.
