About Malwina

Malwina Matysek works on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions and relationship and intimacy-related issues using an integrative approach. She offers therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other evidence-informed methods. Malwina is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' clinical experience.

She sees individuals who are coping with grief, life changes, anger, low self-esteem and work-related strain such as compassion fatigue. Her practice also covers sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, ADHD and a range of relationship difficulties including communication and commitment issues. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image and challenges linked to ageing or caregiving.

In sessions Malwina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She aims to help people notice patterns, try practical skills and build on existing strengths to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Therapy is presented in clear, step-by-step ways rather than abstract language.

Her work often combines talking with practical exercises for use between sessions. She supports people to develop coping strategies for stressful times and to address behaviours that cause distress. The emphasis is on collaborative problem solving and gradual change.

The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Malwina uses therapeutic approaches online

Malwina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and practising new skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values, useful for stress, depression and living with uncertainty. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and adjust how they relate to others, which can support intimacy and communication difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Malwina will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps to decide which methods to try and how to adapt them to everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offering online therapy can still use practical exercises, homework and regular reviews to track progress.
