About me

I am Karolina, a psychologist and psychotherapist based in Barcelona, also offering online sessions. I work mostly with expats during individual and couples therapy. I offer sessions in Polish, English and Spanish. you can read more about me here: www.kochanowska.eu

I hold master degrees in Psychology and Sociology and have completed a 3-year postgraduate training in Integrative Psychotherapy in Barcelona. I continuously expand my qualifications through international training in EMDR method, emotional processing, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.

My therapeutic work is grounded in an integrative and cognitive-behavioral framework, incorporating evidence-based methods such as EMDR and mindfulness. I strive to create a supportive and safe therapeutic space that encourages self-understanding, emotional balance, and meaningful change.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Couples therapySupport for couples working through problems and who want to gain insight into the relational dynamics that contribute to the problem.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Transactional analysisRecommended for those who want to understand and improve their interactions with others by exploring the roles they take on in relationships.

I practice within an integrative framework, combining elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic approaches, and trauma-oriented methods. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing:

  • anxiety disorders, depression, neuroses, and adjustment difficulties,
  • emotional challenges resulting from chronic stress, burnout, or migration,
  • low self-esteem and difficulties in interpersonal relationships,
  • the consequences of traumatic experiences A central component of my therapeutic work is the EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) method — an evidence-based approach focused on processing distressing and traumatic memories. I have completed full EMDR training and regularly participate in supervision and advanced professional development. I apply EMDR not only in trauma-related therapy but also in addressing relationships problems, anxiety, stress, and issues of self-worth.

My work is guided by empathy, attentiveness, and professionalism, providing a safe space to explore emotions, experiences, and internal processes. I believe that effective therapy is built on trust, authenticity, and a collaborative search for lasting change.
