Malwina Matysek , BACP

Malwina Matysek is a BACP counsellor who offers integrative therapy with a practical focus. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing addictions, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and life transitions.

Her approach combines elements from cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed ways of working and dialectical skills. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative, so people leave with clear steps they can try between meetings. Malwina views clients as the experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths.

She draws on techniques to help with difficult thoughts, emotional regulation and building steady routines for sleep, eating and daily life. Practical strategies are mixed with exploring past patterns that affect current relationships and self-image. This helps when people feel stuck or keep repeating unhelpful cycles.

Malwina has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Polish. She works with a broad range of concerns including ADHD, caregiver stress, body image, career issues and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make usable changes.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are offered in several online formats.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit around life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and then choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes, as it focuses on what matters most rather than fighting every difficult thought.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thinking patterns and build new routines, which can help with depression, anxiety, sleep and eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and daily life, then suggest a blend of methods that feels most helpful. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people keep eye contact and use visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, homework exchanges or when writing feels easier than talking. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
