About Malwina
Counsellor Malwina Matysek is a BACP member with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.
Malwina uses an integrative style that draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment‑based work, and dialectical behaviour approaches. She starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. That helps shape practical steps that fit everyday life.
In sessions she focuses on concrete skills and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. This includes simple exercises for mood, sleep and coping with stress, alongside talking through past hurts and relationship issues. She pays attention to how attachment and past relationships affect current feelings and choices.
Malwina also supports people dealing with career pressures, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and body image concerns. She will discuss which methods might help and adapt the work as things change. Therapeutic work is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.
To start, she asks people to use the site matching process and book an initial session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a cancelable subscription. International clients can be considered; language options include English and Polish.
How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person towards what matters, useful for anxiety, low mood and avoidance.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviours and feelings and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with sleep issues, worry, low mood and coping skills.
Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people make sense of relationship difficulties, intimacy problems and repeating behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Work is collaborative and can shift if one approach does not fit.

Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often offer online work to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
