Psychotherapist Copenhagen
Meet Joanna
Joanna Niemczycka
Psychologist | Psychotherapist
Master's in Psychology with specialisation. in Neuropsychology, Post-graduate in Trauma-psychology
Online only
My name is Joanna (she/her). I am an English and Polish-speaking, authorised psychologist specializing in trauma and neuropsychology, and an integrative psychotherapist. My practice reflects who I am: honest and intuitive, with a playful heart. I offer an inclusive space where your uniqueness is welcome and healing can unfold at your own pace.
My work is grounded, relational and rooted in helping you feel safe enough to be exactly where you are. You never have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or pretend to be further along than you feel.
Previously, I worked as a Functional and Integrative Medicine Practitioner, supporting people with chronic illness, autoimmune conditions and unexplained symptoms. That work deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection and showed me how much healing can begin when we listen to the body rather than override it. Seeing the impact of nervous-system shifts in my clients' journeys led me to train in trauma psychology.
On a more personal note, I am originally from Poland. I spent my early twenties in the USA before settling in Copenhagen, where I lived for 13 years. Since May 2026, I work fully online and no longer see clients in person. I now travel with my dog between Denmark, Poland and sometimes Portugal, Brazil or Mexico. You might find me kitesurfing, dancing at a forest festival, or introducing myself as a "fairypist," as in fairy plus therapist. :)
Living abroad and receiving my own late neurodivergent diagnosis has deepened my passion for helping others understand, accept and embrace who they are.
Joanna’s Approach
I use a range of approaches, including IFS and EMDR for trauma and nervous-system shifts, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and DBT for emotional regulation. When relevant, I also offer psychedelic integration, alongside many other tools.
Healing is non-linear and deeply personal, so we will find the methods that resonate with you. Depending on what feels supportive, this may include grounding, movement, dance or gentle body-based practices, in session or as homework.
Who I Work With
I work primarily with highly sensitive individuals, many of whom have developed fawn responses as a way of staying safe in relationships. I have experience supporting people with DID and partial DID.
I also work with neurodivergent people, transgender people, expats and anyone exploring their cognitive, emotional, sensory or neurodevelopmental experiences. Whether you are late diagnosed, self-identified, questioning, have been masking for a long time, or feel that conventional therapy has never quite fit, we can shape the work around you.
Psychological Assessments
I offer assessments for ADHD (adults and teenagers), ASD, depression, anxiety (GAD), PTSD and cPTSD (adults only).
The assessment is comprehensive and differential and it evaluates the relevant diagnostic criteria outlined in the DSM-5 and/or ICD-11, as applicable.
Please note that if you wish to have the diagnosis formally recognised or registered within the Danish healthcare system, a psychiatrist may need to review and confirm the assessment. The psychiatrist will determine whether the existing assessment provides sufficient grounds for diagnostic confirmation or whether further evaluation is necessary.
The assessment provides a detailed professional evaluation of your symptoms, history, and clinical presentation, offering a thorough foundation for further clinical consideration.
Stage I: An initial interview over 2-4 meetings about your reasons for seeking an assessment, your current concerns and your medical history.
Stage II: An interview exploring the initial hypotheses alongside any test results. I may email questionnaires beforehand. Depression or anxiety usually takes one session. Autism or ADHD may take 3-6 sessions per diagnosis.
Stage III: An optional summary meeting with psychoeducation. I usually share key information throughout the previous meetings, so this is often not needed.
Stage IV: If needed, a comprehensive report with test descriptions, results, conclusions and treatment recommendations. It takes about 1-2 months to prepare it. It is likely needed if the assessment includes autism, and you'd like to have the assessment confirmed by a psychiatrist. Cost: 1200 DKK
For ADHD-only, I will email you the official DIVA 5.0 document free of charge, with any relevant comments the moment we are done with the process.If you or the psychiatrist needs a psychological assessment also for ADHD, please refer to stage IV.
