Our Collaborator’s Testimonials
As a collaborating therapist with Therapy in Barcelona, I believe it is fair to say that working with this centre has met my needs for working with clients who match my areas of expertise, and for filling up my caseload in a short period of time which is impressive given that I am an expat myself and have no connections in Barcelona. Communication with Leigh and our Intake Coordinator has been really efficient and support is generously offered. There is a fortnightly supervision which we are all encouraged to attend and it’s a great space for support on the personal and professional levels. Working with Therapy in Barcelona has been essential in boosting my professional development during this phase of my life journey!
Tasneem SorourCollaborating Therapist 
I have been collaborating with Therapy in Barcelona for one year and I couldn’t be happier. It was a big opportunity for me to be able to pursue my career as a foreigner psychologist here in Barcelona. It has been really pleasant to work in a very respectful, collaborative environment where you get a sense of belonging and support from everyone who works here. I also had the flexibility to choose the hours I wanted to work and there is great communication between the intake coordinator and my own needs/expertise as a therapist to match me with the clients that I can work with.
Claudia RedlingerCollborating Therapist 
My experience of working at Therapy in Barcelona has been positive from the offset. The team is supportive and I have particularly enjoyed the exchange of knowledge of different disciplines in our group supervisions. The intake team has worked hard to understand my skills and very quickly filled my caseload.

As a collaborating Sexologist with Therapy In Barcelona, I am so pleased to have the chance to work with such a professional team of international therapists. The team is made up of a diverse and inclusive team offering therapy in multiple languages. The therapy rooms are not only beautiful, but comfortable and make you feel at home.

From my position of working as a collaborator at Therapy in Barcelona, I can not recommend this center highly enough. It is run with extremely high levels of professionalism, care and passion.
Sara KlingstedtCollaborating Therapist 
Having worked in different places across Europe, I have to say that working as an intake coordinator at Therapy in Barcelona is an ongoing amazing experience. We’re always doing our best to fulfill all clients’ expectations and needs.
Therapy in Barcelona helps to make that experience as smooth as possible, when we know that this first step to start therapy might be so difficult to make. But we are here for our clients, every step of the way.
“WE” is one of the best parts of the work at Therapy in Barcelona, as we are a team that has our clients’ best interests at heart. All therapists are great professionals, but also just amazing people and colleagues, always swiftly in contact with me, which aids the intake process greatly.
Leigh Matthews, the founder of Therapy in Barcelona, is a guardian angel of all those processes and always there to help, to clarify any questions, concerns and just to give support to me and everyone on the team. Communicating with Leigh has been great from the very beginning and I can’t express enough how important that base of kindness and professionalism is, to make our work feel valuable and appreciated.
Joanna MatuszczakIntake Coordinator 
Working as a collaborator at Therapy in Barcelona is wonderful. Leigh puts her 110% into her center every day, being there for the new clients and us as collaborators. Together with her great business mind and endless tips she makes working as a therapist a breeze. A full caseload and a team that has your back is great.
I especially appreciate the care for quality with: fortnightly group supervisions, individual reviews and, a culture where value is given where value is due.
If you are considering joining our team I can highly recommend it.
