About Malwina

Malwina Matysek is a counsellor who uses cognitive behavioural approaches alongside client-centred care. She blends practical, skills-based work with compassionate listening to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression and addictions. Malwina works from the view that clients know themselves best and that therapy should build on existing strengths to find a way forward.

She offers short, clear interventions as well as space to talk through difficult feelings like grief, trauma and low self-esteem. Practical exercises and thinking tools are used when helpful, alongside attention to how relationships and attachment affect current struggles. The goal is to help people make manageable changes, not to rush or overwhelm them.

Malwina has four years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is based in the United Kingdom and works with both English and Polish speakers. Her background includes supporting people facing life changes, parenting strains, career stress and caregiver burden.

Sessions explore how current patterns link to past experiences and everyday routines. Techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour approaches may be used to improve emotional regulation and acceptance of difficult thoughts. Work on communication, boundaries and intimacy can help with relationship and commitment issues.

People interested in discussing ageing and geriatric issues can bring those concerns into sessions alongside other life challenges. Getting started involves a simple signup and a short questionnaire to match needs and preferences before arranging sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build direction and flexibility when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide what methods fit best. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online or remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep momentum between sessions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed, or quieter, longer sessions when more space is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients balance therapy with everyday life.
