Malwina Matysek , BACP

Malwina Matysek is a BACP-registered CBT therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers an integrative approach to counselling. She has worked with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem challenges, trauma and abuse, as well as loss and difficulties in relationships. Malwina works from the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives and that they carry strengths that can be mobilised to face life’s difficulties.

When emotional overwhelm makes it hard to see a clear path forward, she supports clients in regaining perspective and accessing inner clarity. Her practice emphasises collaboration - working together to identify practical steps and ways of coping that fit each person’s circumstances and values. Malwina acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and she recognises the importance of that first decision to seek help.

Her approach aims to create space for exploration, gradual change, and rebuilding confidence so clients can move toward the life they want to lead.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Malwina draws on evidence-based approaches to guide work with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact - helping people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult experiences while clarifying personal values and committed action, which can be useful for people coping with pain, loss, or persistent worries. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, offering a pathway to improve intimacy, trust, and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Malwina collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the work as progress unfolds so the process feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from varied locations and allow sessions to fit into everyday life while maintaining continuity of care.
