About Malwina
Malwina Matysek is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She offers integrative work rooted in cognitive behavioural approaches and other therapies. Her stated focus areas include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting and sleep and eating difficulties.
She uses short, direct conversations to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. She approaches sessions by listening for strengths the person already has. Then she and the client explore small, practical steps that can make daily life easier.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred principles. That mix is used to look at thoughts, feelings and patterns in relationships. Sessions may include noticing unhelpful thinking, practising grounding or breathing skills, and trying different ways of responding to stressful moments.
Malwina also pays attention to issues people raise about identity, body image, workplace stress, ADHD-related concerns and caregiving strain. She describes the process as collaborative, helping people find what fits their situation. Language options include English and Polish.
For people concerned about parenting or tensions at home, she offers a calm, practical way to talk things through and plan manageable changes. The first sessions typically focus on what matters most now and on practical next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches can work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and take steps that align with those values. It uses mindful noticing and practical action to reduce avoidance and move towards goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it breaks problems into manageable parts.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different techniques. That way the chosen methods fit your needs rather than following a fixed plan.
The platform specifics for session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays or work breaks and can reduce travel time. They also let people pause between tasks or choose shorter check-ins when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises used in ACT and CBT for remote sessions, such as guided breathing, thought records and brief behavioural experiments, so practical tools can still be tried even when meeting remotely.
