About Malwina

Malwina Matysek is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and self-esteem difficulties, and also supports those affected by trauma, loss and relationship problems.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people notice their strengths and uses practical conversations to make things feel more manageable. When life becomes overwhelming she focuses on small, steady steps that can reduce pressure and increase clarity.

Malwina uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. These include cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment methods, attachment-informed work and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. She also works from a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s experience central to sessions.

Her background includes supporting a broad set of concerns beyond the most common ones. These extra areas listed in her profile include body image, communication problems, caregiver stress, ADHD, and complex relational themes such as abandonment and attachment issues. She can work in English and Polish.

People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward conversations about what is worrying them now. The focus is on making practical changes and building coping strategies that fit everyday life. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that matter to the person. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how earlier experiences shape current reactions; this can be useful for intimacy, abandonment concerns and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, problems and preferences and will suggest which methods to try. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you need specific session formats, please confirm the options before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to schedule and can allow for shorter or longer sessions depending on what suits daily life. Registered or accredited professionals offer different ways to meet, and the therapist will discuss the best format for your situation during the initial matching and first session.
