About Malwina

Malwina Matysek uses an integrative, cognitive behavioural approach to help people find clearer ways forward when life feels overwhelming. She works from the belief that people know themselves best and brings practical methods to help reduce stress, anxiety and low mood. Malwina is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has four years of practice experience in the United Kingdom.

She offers support for a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addictions, self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also helps with everyday problems like sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger and career worries. Her wider focus includes areas such as ADHD, body image and communication problems.

Sessions draw on cognitive behavioural therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of attachment-based and client-centred work. That mix means conversations cover thoughts, feelings and values, and practical steps to change what gets in the way of daily life. Exercises and strategies are used alongside open conversation.

Malwina places emphasis on collaboration. She aims to help people find small, achievable changes first, and to build on strengths already present. The tone in sessions is direct but kind, and progress is reviewed together.

She works in English and Polish and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site Start Therapy process to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people live in line with their values while learning to allow difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current connections and emotions, and can help when relationship patterns or attachment issues cause ongoing difficulty.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that suit the person's needs and adapt as work progresses.

The site biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and making it simpler to attend from different locations. It can also support continuity when someone is living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use a range of therapeutic tools online, and the focus remains on practical strategies and steady progress rather than on any single promised outcome.
