Sylwia Grabowska, AASW

Sylwia Grabowska is an AASW social worker who has practised in Australia for three years. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting worries and low self-esteem. She aims to make the first step feel easier and stays alongside clients as they work toward change.

Sylwia keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. She listens without judgement and encourages clear, honest conversation about what is difficult right now. Conversations often focus on practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve communication and rebuild confidence.

Her background includes work with people facing attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, infidelity and jealousy. She also supports people dealing with addiction, domestic violence impacts, immigration stress and post-traumatic stress. This range means she is used to helping with both everyday pressures and major life transitions.

Therapy draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred methods and hypnotherapy. Sessions combine practical strategies, reflective conversation and exercises to try between appointments. Sylwia will adapt the mix to what feels useful for each person.

She offers sessions in English and Polish. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapy approaches work online

Sylwia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and when someone feels stuck in unhelpful patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by using practical exercises and homework between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sylwia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaboration helps shape which techniques are emphasized as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose meeting times that suit work, school or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on practical skills and conversation.
