About Malwina

Malwina Matysek is a BACP counsellor who offers integrative, practical therapy to people feeling overwhelmed. She focuses on helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and low self-esteem. Malwina also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and sleep difficulties.

She uses straightforward, person-centred work that starts with what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions aim to identify immediate coping steps while exploring longer-term patterns that keep problems going. Malwina believes people already hold strengths and values that can guide change.

Her approach combines elements from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help with thoughts, behaviours and what a client wants their life to look like. She also draws on attachment-based and dialectical behaviour ideas when relationships, emotion regulation or boundary work are a focus. The work is collaborative and paced to the client.

Malwina has four years of experience supporting people through loss, life transitions and career stress. She includes practical tools for managing sleep problems and day-to-day routines when that is a concern. Progress often comes from making small, repeatable changes and trying out new ways of coping.

Sessions can be conducted in English or Polish. People who live outside the UK can be supported as international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Using therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can be helpful when trust, closeness or boundary issues are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time to suit what is actually helping.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking as formats are not detailed here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, saves travel time and makes shorter check-ins possible during a lunch break. Online discussions also make it easier to use worksheets, breathing practices or sleep routines together during the session. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods so they work in everyday life and support steps toward better sleep and rest without promising a particular outcome.
