Malwina Matysek, BACP

Malwina Matysek is a counsellor using cognitive and acceptance-based approaches to help people manage heavy emotions and difficult situations. She works in English and Polish and brings four years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. Malwina believes people know themselves best and that therapy is a chance to reconnect with what matters to them.

She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and problems with self-esteem. Relationship and intimacy difficulties are part of her focus, along with sleep and eating concerns and the strain of caregiving.

Malwina draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy among other approaches. She adapts sessions to what the person needs, using clear steps and practical exercises when helpful. The emphasis is on building skills and noticing what is important in life.

In sessions she uses a collaborative and client-centred style. That means listening first, then working together on goals and small changes. She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, with tools people can try between meetings.

If you decide to start, you will complete a brief questionnaire and arrange sessions through the service. Costs vary with location and subscription plan, which can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to test and change them, which can help with worry, low mood and sleep problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, using techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and recommend methods that suit you. Decisions about which tools to try are made collaboratively and can change as you make progress.

If you plan to access therapy online, please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work while living abroad, since international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can adapt these therapeutic methods for remote sessions so you can practise skills between meetings and apply them in everyday life.
