About Malwina

Malwina Matysek is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship or intimacy concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and she accepts international clients.

She uses a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based work and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). In session she helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try practical steps that change how they respond. That can mean working on thoughts, building new coping skills or exploring how early attachments affect current relationships.

People who struggle with low self-esteem, grief, trauma and sleep or eating difficulties will find concrete tools in her practice. She also supports those facing career strain, compassion fatigue, parenting challenges and codependency concerns. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes rather than big promises.

Her style is collaborative. She draws on client-centred ideas to listen for what matters most to each person and then uses CBT, ACT or DBT techniques when they fit. The work aims to make daily life easier, for example by reducing overwhelm, managing strong emotions or improving communication.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and deciding what matters most, then taking small steps in that direction. It suits people who want to reduce struggling with anxious or low mood while moving toward values-based action.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries practical changes in behaviour and thought. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating problems and for building coping skills that make daily life easier.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and how they prefer to work, and together they will decide which combination of ACT, CBT or attachment-based ideas fits best.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for instance by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or avoiding being on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions help people practise new skills in real life and keep therapy consistent with day-to-day routines.
