Therapy in English, in the city you moved to
No Krankenkasse, no waiting list, no explaining yourself in your second language.
Berlin is easy to live in without German, right up until the moment you need to say something that actually matters.
Our therapists
Therapists who work in English
Some are in Berlin, some are not. Sessions are online, so what matters is the person, not the postcode.

Why it matters here
Everyone here speaks English. That is not the same as being understood in it.
Berlin is easy to live in without German, right up until the moment you need to say something that matters. You can rent a flat, hold a job, keep a social life. And then you sit in a Wartezimmer trying to explain a panic attack in a language you learned for meetings.
English-speaking practices here fill quickly, and the ones with an opening are rarely the ones you would have chosen. Online, you choose from everyone working in English — not from the two people who happen to have a Tuesday free in Kreuzberg.
About Wefeel
What Wefeel is — and what it isn't
Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.
We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.
Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.
What we work with
What brings people here
Loneliness and isolation
When your social life is made entirely of colleagues, and everyone who knew you before is in another time zone.
Anxiety and chronic stress
Visas, contracts, rent, the low hum of living somewhere you could be asked to leave.
Depression and flatness
Especially the kind that is hard to name, because on paper the move worked.
Identity and belonging
Caught between where you're from and where you live, between who you were and whoever this is now.
Relationships and family
Including the strain of having moved together — or of having moved without them.
Homesickness and grief
For people, for a former life, for the version of yourself that existed before you left.
This is not a complete list. If you're struggling with something that isn't here, get in touch anyway. Therapy begins with you, not with a category — and it doesn't require you to have found the right word for it first.
How it works
Three steps, no Krankenkasse
You read the profiles and choose your own therapist — nobody assigns one to you, and nothing goes through an insurer. You then pick a time from the hours they have open, shown in your own time zone, evenings and early mornings included. Finally you meet by video call, from home. No referral, no insurance paperwork, and no German required at any point.
You don't have to have a diagnosis
Most people who start therapy have no idea what to call the thing they want to talk about. Finding out is part of it.
Reading
Written by the therapists themselves
Articles about anxiety, sleep, grief, burnout and the rest of it — written by the people you can book a session with.
If you need help right now

Common questions
Are there English-speaking therapists in Berlin specifically?
There are, and there are also therapists elsewhere who work in English online. Both appear here. The relevant question is which of them is right for you.
Can I use this while I wait for a Kassenplatz?
Yes. Many people do exactly that, and nothing here requires you to give up a place you've waited months for.
I've lived here for years and my German is fine. Should I still consider English?
That is entirely your call, and there is no correct answer. Some people find German gives them useful distance from what they're describing. Others find that distance is precisely the problem.
Start in your own language
Read the profiles, take your time, and choose someone you can talk to properly. No Krankenkasse, no referral, and no German required at any point.
