About Malwina

Malwina Matysek is a counsellor who uses cognitive and acceptance-based approaches to help people manage overwhelming feelings. She works with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma and life changes, and helps with everyday struggles like sleep, eating and low self-esteem.

She practises from the view that clients know themselves best and brings an integrative style to sessions. That means she draws on several approaches such as cognitive behavioural methods and acceptance and commitment ideas. Sessions focus on practical steps, noticing patterns, and building small skills that make daily life easier.

With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she aims to make therapy down-to-earth and collaborative. People can expect calm, straightforward conversations that look at what's getting in the way and what might help next.

She also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when relevant, and uses techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy for emotional regulation. Her work can include thinking about communication, boundaries, control issues and commitment worries.

Malwina offers therapy in English and Polish and is based in the United Kingdom. To begin, potential clients are invited to use the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours to reduce symptoms such as worry, sleep problems or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy-related worries and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together you will decide which methods to try and adapt them as you go, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or childcare, and it can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting, so checking the current session options will help plan what suits everyday life best.
