About Malwina

Malwina Matysek is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a blend of approaches to help people navigate difficult times. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, trauma and relationship problems. Malwina encourages clients to draw on their own strengths when life feels overwhelming and to take practical steps forward.

She offers an integrative style that combines elements from cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work and dialectical skills. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and practical tools that people can try between meetings. Conversation is plain and direct, aimed at making change feel doable.

Malwina brings four years of professional experience to her practice and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential. She works in English and Polish and accepts international clients for remote work. Her background includes supporting people with grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

In therapy she listens for what matters most to each person and uses that to shape a plan. That might mean learning new coping skills, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, or exploring attachment and relationship patterns. The pace is set by the client, with practical steps between sessions.

Signing up begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client. Malwina describes the first step as an act of courage and aims to make the early sessions straightforward and steady.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and to make choices that match their values. In practice this means learning simple exercises to accept difficult feelings and to take small meaningful steps towards goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, with practical tasks to try between sessions to test new ways of coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust, helping people understand and shift recurring relationship habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest pathways based on those conversations. Plans are adjusted as work proceeds so methods fit the person rather than the other way around.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the currently supported session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep appointments from different locations and can make follow-up between sessions simpler. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors and therapists can tailor the online rhythm and practical steps to match each client's daily life.
