About Malwina

Malwina Matysek BACP is a counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, trauma and loss, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Matysek describes her approach as integrative. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, noticing patterns and building on a person’s existing strengths.

She helps people who are dealing with life changes, grief and difficult emotions. That can include trouble sleeping, eating concerns, anger or career stress. She also works with issues linked to ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy or communication problems.

In the counselling room she aims to support people to find greater clarity when things feel overwhelming. Work can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising emotion regulation skills and exploring attachment patterns that affect relationships. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.

Matysek offers therapy in English and Polish and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and are provided through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify what matters so actions line up with values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with intimacy, trust and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and will test methods together to see what feels most useful. That makes the process collaborative rather than fixed from the start.

Session formats are not stated in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist who speaks your language even if you live abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and coping skills for remote sessions so progress continues between appointments.
