Why it matters here
Germany's fast-growing creative city
Leipzig — sometimes called "the new Berlin" — has drawn artists, founders, and remote workers into a young, international scene, much of it living in English. But its infrastructure for that community, English-speaking therapy included, is still catching up with the influx. Online closes the gap: you choose from everyone working in English and meet from home.
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 need a diagnosis to start
Most people begin with no name for what's wrong. Finding out is part of the work.
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
