Sally Schulze Psychologist & Counsellor

Thank you for visiting our psychological counselling page for San Jose. Relocating abroad is one of life's most transformative experiences. Navigating unfamiliar customs, being away from your support network, and constructing a new daily life -- these transitions carry real emotional weight. Moments of doubt, loneliness, or a persistent sense of not quite belonging are entirely natural. Please know that reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Through my work as an online psychological counsellor, I have gained deep insight into the particular pressures people encounter while living far from home. It is rarely one dramatic event that brings people to counselling -- more often, it is the accumulation of small cultural friction points, the effort of constantly adapting, and an erosion of your sense of self that gradually wears you down.

On this page, you will find helpful local contacts in San Jose alongside details of my online counselling practice. My sessions are tailored to support people living internationally -- wherever you currently stand and whatever you are dealing with. Because everyone deserves a space where they feel genuinely heard.

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 San Jose, 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.
