Joanna
I believe we are the sum of what we give to others.
Hello!
I’m Joanna, the Intake and Team Coordinator for Therapy in Barcelona.
I’m originally from Poland and have lived abroad for over 10 years. Two in Turkey, 5 in the UK and since 2019 in Spain. I have been with Therapy in Barcelona for 6 years in 2026, and still loving it!
I moved here with my Spanish partner seeking a new place to settle in and to discover what else life had to offer. This journey brought me to the place that I now call “home”.
As an immigrant and a mom to two beautiful third culture kids, I’ve faced obstacles and challenges. Small and complex. But with support this life can be a remarkable growth trajectory. I look forward to helping you find the richness in life abroad too.
English and Polish
Therapy in Barcelona Intake and Team Coordinator
MA Psychology, MA Applied Linguistics.
As the initial point of contact at Therapy in Barcelona,
I know the first step always seems the most difficult to take.
That’s why I aim to kindly answer all the questions and concerns you might have and to match you with the best fit therapist for you from our remarkable team of international therapists.
From the outset, I knew I would study and work in something that would help other people.
That’s why I studied and graduated in psychology. In exchange, I received a beautiful gift: tools that help empower others and allow them to discover their inner self as well as skills they’d had all along.
Before working in Therapy in Barcelona, I gathered many enriching experiences that have allowed me to implement knowledge and skills to various multilingual client care roles throughout the years.
Now, at Therapy in Barcelona I’m able to apply this experience and my psychology and linguistics training to help people. Each client who is successfully matched with their therapist reminds me that I have accomplished my goal.
I use my studies in
psychology and linguistics
to understand you and choose the type of therapist you can “click” with.

details about me
When I was a kid, my grandma sewed identical skirts for me and herself. I, of course, quickly grew out of mine, but she still wears hers. Seeing her do it fills me with love.
I go swimming at least twice a week. It helps me when I’m stressed and it allows me to enjoy “me” time.
I am a beginner-level gardener. To see plants grow and thrive, and know it’s partly thanks to my caring, is thrilling.
Client comments on the intake process
I think Joanna was awesome at handling me in the intake process. I originally wanted to see Sara, but since she had a waiting list Joanna gave me some other suggestions. In the end I choose Marina and she is great. So I actually don't have any suggestions on improvement.
I thought it was great... Very quick, solution-oriented and I really liked the respectful tone of voice of the emails
Nothing to improve, really. I am very satisfied.
I think the intake service is great. I like how thorough the intake is. I feel that I have been placed really well with the right therapists.
Intake process was great and very quick, and my preferences and goals were taken into account when a therapist was chosen for me.
I don't think you can improve your intake service. I was so happily surprised at the ease and speed my initial request was handled.
Nothing to improve it was super efficient.
I emailed you and then, no more than a few hours later, I received an email from Joanna saying that, if I wanted, there were two therapists who she thought would suit my needs based on what I'd written. It was super easy!
I was very happy to firstly have received a call to find the best matching therapist and how easy it then was to fix an appointment.
I was very happy with the intake process. It was professional and streamlined. I was well-informed at every step of the way.
Booking was straightforward and I'm thankful for how attentive the intake emails and followups are
Simple and helpful to book my sessions. My therapist was wonderful.
Let me help you through this first step instead of struggling to find the right match
I’ll listen to your needs and answer your questions to get to know you some more. Then I’ll personally match you to one of the therapists.
It's never too late to change something in your life.
