About Malwina
Malwina Matysek is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers integrative sessions that draw on practical methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Polish and works with people who are coping with loss, trauma, self-esteem struggles and parenting stress.
Her approach starts with listening. She helps people notice their existing strengths and then uses straightforward strategies to reduce distress. Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than long abstract talks.
Background and approach
The aim is to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. Malwina blends several evidence-informed approaches to suit each person. That can include cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
It can also involve acceptance-based skills and mindfulness to build tolerance for difficult feelings. Attachment-based work supports people who want to understand relationship patterns and intimacy worries. She has four years of clinical experience and uses a person-centred stance throughout.
This means the client’s goals and pace guide the work. Practical tools may be paired with reflective conversation to help people try new ways of coping. People choose her for help with parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, anger and career stress.
She also supports those facing grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles and other complex concerns. The focus is on clear, stepwise progress and real-life strategies.

Practical approaches for online counselling
Malwina draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and change thinking and behaviour patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood or sleep and eating problems. CBT gives clear, step-by-step tools for tackling specific difficulties and testing out new ways of coping.She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to build skills for being with difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward valued goals. ACT is useful for people who feel stuck or who want to focus on meaningful life directions rather than eliminating all distress.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Malwina will discuss different methods and decide together with each person what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be blended and adjusted over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different rhythms of life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging works well for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel commitments.
