About Malwina
Malwina Matysek is a counsellor offering integrative, evidence-informed therapy from the United Kingdom. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. Malwina uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice strengths and find a way forward.
She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred techniques. That means sessions often focus on practical steps, values-based choices and clearer thinking about unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Malwina also draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and attachment-focused ideas when helpful. Sessions are collaborative. The therapist listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals that reflect what the person wants to change.
Work may include simple exercises for anxiety, new ways to cope with cravings or practice in communicating in close relationships. Malwina has four years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP. She offers support in English and Polish and can work with clients internationally.
Practical matters such as session length and format are arranged at the start. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions. The approach is steady and pragmatic, aimed at helping people regain routine, reduce distress and move toward meaningful goals.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that move a person toward those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood and difficulties that feel stuck by encouraging flexible responses rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts immediately.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasises spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises. It is useful for stress, anxiety, phobias and depression because it teaches skills to change reactions and behaviour over time.
Attachment-Based Therapy brings attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses. It can help people improve communication, understand intimacy-related problems and address attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your needs and goals and then together you will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means plans are adjusted as progress is made and preferences become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video sessions let you see facial cues and practise skills in real time, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping consistent contact with a registered or accredited professional.
