Malwina Matysek offers integrative, evidence-informed therapy that blends practical strategies with a warm, person-focused approach. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to help people feel more able to manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Malwina is a BACP counsellor working from the United Kingdom and speaks English and Polish.

She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to build coping skills and to clarify personal values.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas help when relationship and intimacy-related issues are a focus. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Malwina encourages people to name what matters to them, set simple goals and practise small steps between meetings.

Work might include breathing or grounding exercises, behavioural experiments, or looking at how past experiences affect present relationships. She has four years’ experience and has supported people with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, sleep or eating concerns, parenting stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include body image, communication problems, codependency and care-giver stress.

Malwina offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different schedules. International clients can be supported and practical arrangements are made during the initial matching and scheduling steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and focuses on identifying what matters so small steps can be taken towards a more valued life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and uses practical experiments and problem-solving to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and is useful when trust, intimacy or communication are causing pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adapt methods to fit individual goals, preferences and life circumstances. This collaborative process means methods can be mixed and matched as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit people with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, live chat and messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caregiving commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
