About Sylwia
Sylwia Grabowska is an AASW social worker with three years of practice in Australia. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and parenting demands. She also supports work on self-esteem and motivation. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.
Sylwia takes a straightforward style in session. She listens without judgment and asks practical questions to clarify what matters to the client. Conversations often look at how day-to-day patterns affect mood, confidence and close relationships. Practical strategies and personal reflection are mixed depending on what a person needs.
She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the issue at hand. That can include cognitive behavioural ideas to change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment methods to clarify values, and attachment-based ideas to untangle relationship patterns. Hypnotherapy and client-centred techniques are also part of her toolkit.
Sylwia commonly works with adults facing parenting strain, relationship friction, or life-stage changes like midlife questions and immigration stress. She also addresses issues linked to trauma, substance use, infidelity, or domestic violence when these are part of a person’s story.
Her way of working is practical and steady. People who prefer clear goals, regular check-ins and a mix of talking and exercises may find this approach helpful. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and book a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small, value-based steps toward it. It can help when life feels stuck or decisions are hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain worry or low mood, and introduces practical exercises to reduce their impact. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions in close relationships.Finding the right approach happens together. She will discuss these methods with the client and try options that fit the person's current goals and preferences. The first few meetings are used to work out what is most useful and to set simple, measurable goals.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from their own routine. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt activities for remote work, for example by sending short exercises between sessions or using guided practices during a meeting.
