Malwina Matysek, BACP

Malwina Matysek is a counsellor who uses cognitive and acceptance-based approaches to help people manage everyday thoughts and habits. She works with clients who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, addictions or relationship and intimacy issues. Malwina speaks English and Polish and practises in the United Kingdom. She believes people already have strengths they can use to move forward. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and build small, workable habits. That practical focus aims to make difficult moments more manageable rather than relying on big, sudden changes. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then offers techniques from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Mindfulness and emotion regulation tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy also feature when useful. Over four years of practice she has worked with concerns that include trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem difficulties, sleeping and eating problems, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Additional areas she supports include body image, communication problems and caregiver stress. Malwina encourages small steps and steady progress. People who come to her can expect a practical plan aimed at day-to-day changes in thinking and routine. She invites prospective clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Malwina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts and everyday habits. CBT helps people spot patterns of thinking that fuel worry or low mood and then practise new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values, which can help with stress, anxiety and motivation.

She aims to find the right fit together with each person. That means discussing goals, trying approaches and adjusting methods based on what feels helpful. The choice of techniques is collaborative and evolves as the work progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as they are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a busy day or let someone join a session without being on camera if that feels better. Many people find that regular, small steps learned in sessions transfer well to daily routines when therapy is delivered remotely.
