Why a conversation in your first language can be easier
You may handle everything in German with ease and still return to your first language when it comes to memories, family and strong emotions. That is entirely natural — different areas of life often have different languages.
In a conversation about yourself this matters. If part of your attention is busy searching for words, less is left for the experience itself. In your first language you do not have to translate yourself first in order to be understood.
I offer consultations in Polish, German and English. If a particular topic calls for a change of language, we can switch mid-conversation.
What people living in Germany most often bring
Moving abroad is both an opportunity and a strain. New possibilities come alongside loneliness, exhaustion with paperwork, a changed professional position or the sense of living between cultures.
Family themes also recur: missing relatives back home, guilt towards ageing parents, raising children in two languages, tensions in a relationship where partners come from different countries.
Then there are difficulties that could appear anywhere — stress and chronic tension, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, ADHD or burnout. Emigration usually does not create them, but it can amplify them.
My experience in Poland and in Germany
I gained my professional experience in both countries — working as a psychologist in Berlin and Potsdam among other places. I know what it means to move between two systems: a different approach to mental health, a different working culture, different social expectations.
All sessions are online only. I do not offer in-person appointments — which means I can work with people across Germany, including outside the large cities where a practitioner who speaks your language is hardest to find.
How working online from Germany looks
We meet by video call. You receive the link after booking and there is nothing to install. All you need is a quiet place, headphones and a stable connection.
Poland and Germany share the same time zone, so arranging times is simple — including evenings after work or on a Saturday.
Our work does not have to stop when you travel to Poland for the holidays, change city or move back for good. That is one of the greatest advantages of working online when you live abroad.
Costs and reimbursement
Consultations with a private practitioner outside the German system are usually not reimbursed by statutory health insurance. If reimbursement matters to you, ask your insurer directly — the rules differ, especially in private cover.
Prices for all formats, including the package and Saturday slots, are in the pricing section. Payment happens together with booking, with no separate transfer.
When a different kind of help is needed
A psychological consultation does not replace medical care or intervention where life or health is in immediate danger. In Germany the emergency number is 112, the police 110, and outside surgery hours the on-call medical service is reachable at 116 117.
TelefonSeelsorge offers free, round-the-clock crisis support (0800 111 0 111, 0800 111 0 222 or 116 123). If you would rather speak Polish, the support centre is available at 800 70 22 22.
If it turns out you need a different kind of support than the one I offer, I will tell you so directly and help you get your bearings among the options.

How to find a Polish-speaking psychologist while living in Germany
A shared language matters, but a good decision also takes in the scope of the service, experience, working practices and your actual needs.
The language of your psychological consultation — how to choose
The best language is not always the one you use most at work. What matters is the language in which you can speak freely about your emotions and express yourself precisely and without effort.
